| | | First ever image...maybe.
Hi folks,
I've just spent about four hours trying to work out how to add an image to a post, and I think I've solved it, so here goes. This was a good-looking fox I digiscoped from about 100metres. He was just a dot on the horizon and I was in a brick hide at my local RSPB reserve. Despite this I have a suspicion he was fully aware of my presence. I'm sure they must have radar! The original image was much bigger, but to get it to fit in the post I ended up cropping most of it. What you can see is about 1/16 of the original.  |

Thanks Dan,
I'm sure with practice I could get it down to 3 hours! Every time I tried to load it the upload kept saying the file was too big. Apparently in Elements 5.0 you can specify the final file size but I can't find that particular bit yet!

My procedure is to go to image , resize, image size , and alter the dimensions to 600 on the shorter side (check that this gives you 800+ on the longer) and the DPI to 72 then save it selecting a quality/compression setting of 7 or 6. this will give you a file which is under 300kb nd which will upload no problem

I've never used a digital imaging package before buying Elements 5.0 and I find it pretty confusing. I'm sure it will do everything I need. (..But not necessarily in that order!) I'll try your system tomorrow and see how I get on. As for tonight I'm going to bed. My brain hurts!

Can i recommend you try this book Amazon.co.uk: The Photoshop Elements 5 Book for Digital Photographers: Books: Scott Kelby
I have Elements 4 and bought several books including the official Adobe Book. Kelbys book was much better than all the others. In fact I may post a review about it

Thanks Guys, I'll have another play with it tonight. Trouble is I'll need to get some decent shots to upload!

Sorry if I have mistaken you for someone else, Dan, but I recall someone almost went as far as reformatting his hard disk to manage an upload
Keep at it Edge, we would like to see more.
