Chubz Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Just wanted to post one of the first pics I have of myself on an alpine board (1st season). But I dont know if I did it right because the quality had to be dropped signficantly in order to get below the 100000 bytes. How do other folks get some great quality pics posted without losing the quality? I.e. the thread that had the sequence photos. I hope this works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 But still interested in getting higher quality photos posted once Jesse and I start using better camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boostertwo Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 That works for me is 1. Optimize image for fast DL 2. Host image at tinypic.com 3. Copy Tag HTML code (2nd box down) 4. Paste in BOL post <img src="http://tinypic.com/1pgjnn"> Cheers, B-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Sorry but I'm not the most literate tech person out there. Give those replies to me in layman's terms on how to do each of what you described. Thanks Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 What is that white, fluffy, soft- looking stuff you are sliding across?:D Sorry, we have mostly ice here in PA. That stuff looks very inviting. Also are you riding switch in your sequence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubz Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Booster You are absolutely killing me with your sequences. I love 'em. I know you posted what type of equipment you use to create those animals and I will try and find it again. If I recall it was for helping skiers and riders work on their form. And I think it was very pricey to get. I'd be interested in talking to you about it if you have the time. Do you have a website to access all of your work? D-Sub I will see what I can get to you. And holy Sh*t, do you earn frequent threader miles with all of your posts?:D Thanks for the input. Greg PS I tried to posts some items on ebay last night and I was able to select photos to put in my auction but when I hit the "next" button on that page, I kept getting an error message about photo services not being able to attach the photos. It indicated to keep trying but didnt work. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinpa Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 A few years back I went to an AASI clinic where some guy had a computer program that could play two images (or more, I think) side by side. Anyone ever seen this or know anything about it? You could slow down the pictures and even draw on the screen to compare angles, etc. I think the guy that had it was from the Philly area. The software seemed pretty expensive at the time, but I bet the costs have come down since then. For me it was such a great way to learn because I'm a very visual learner. Has anyone seen this? Or know where there is any info in it? Thanks. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWriverstone Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Forgive me if you guys already know this, but since nobody mentioned it... The SINGLE most important thing in posting good shots to the web is be sure that they are resampled to 72dpi. Almost no digital cameras shoot natively at 72dpi (the native resolution for web-based photos). Mine, for example, shoots at 180dpi. I often see people trying to post 180dpi pics, which are HUGE! So whatever software you use, look for a feature that's called something like "Resample Image" or "Resize for Web" or something like that.

Steve Dold Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 There's something I've wondered about for a long time. I sometimes hear of a digital image being a "72 dpi image" or some other resolution. Or, the image might be described by whatever software that is creating it that it is a certain number of inches vertically and horizontally. It's as if the binary file itself seems to have a dots/inch property associated with it. How can a binary file have any relationship to inches before it is printed or displayed? Isn't it simply so many pixels by so many pixels when it is just a file, with no connection to inches unless printed or displayed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 this thread is starting to get geeky! Steve, I was wondering the same thing. jpg and other "flat" file types are what perplex me I can see why .AI and .PSD for example would have the size relationship.
