Uploading pictures - Plumbing Zone

**Bill** · 01-17-2010, 04:10 PM

I noticed there are some who are not familiar with doing this, so I will outline some things that may help out.

1) At the bottom of the board where you reply in there is a link to go advanced. Click on this.

2) When you click on advanced it will tale you to another screen. Here you will see your reply. Just below it under the "Additional Options" tab you will find manage attachments. Click on this.

3) Another box will open. The top link is for files on your pc. Click on it. Another box will open and you then find the file or picture you want to upload, then double click on it. Now you are taken back to the previous box and you will see the file name and path there. Click on upload and your file will be uploaded, then close out the box's. Then just click on submit reply and Done!

4) A tip is that you can say something before or after the pix, depending on where the courser is positioned in the reply before the file is uploaded.

Now, if your file or picture exceeds the max allowed for uploading there are several ways to overcome this. Me? I like to start by cropping the picture. Most times this will reduce the size sufficiently. If it still does not work, then right click on the original picture, select properties, then advanced. Here you can compress the file. 99 out of 100 times this works well. There are however free picture resizing programs out there. Just be careful of which one you use. Ron showed me a nice one that was free, and virus and spyware free. I cant remember the name of it though.

Here is the program I like to use.

http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm

It lets you resize a single picture or an entire folder of pictures. The best part about the program, it's free.

You would not happen to know of a free watermark program do you?

That is what I am looking for. My best friend's wife takes lots of photo's of bands, and she has been having some of them taking her photo's with out asking or giving her credit to use on their websites or in magazine articles and such.

Is there a way to upload documents on to PZ? When I try, my documents always exceed the 100 KB limit. How do I overcome this problem? I have seen other members upload contract documents and such, but I cannot..

If you are looking for more advanced photo manipulation software (Free) that is very similar to PhotoShop you can always use Gimp...

With it you can put in watermarks, resize, crop, adjust color levels, brightness, contrast, sharpen, add text and many other things as well...

It pretty much does everything that PhotoShop does and is open source...
