uploading photos

uploading photos

• mao65 16 years ago
  Patti, I have been having a tuff time also. I have a new I MAC and I just have to play. I've been scanning them to I- photo, then I highlight them and export them to Photo booth as a jpeg(?). Then when I click on browse when I am submitting a photo, I know where to find it and it pops right up. I'm sure there must be an easier way, so if anyone can tell me,I'd be thrilled. I don't want to read that whole big manual. Thanks for any help.

  This is how I take and upload pics.
  I always zoom in and lock the focus and then zoom out to frame the pic.
  Once the pics are taken, I make a folder for the recipe in my Cooking folder. There is example Baking, and then under baking is each baking recipe. Once the folder Quiche Lorraine is created, I create a folder in the same folder called Reduced.
  Each dish has the main folder and the reduced folder. I copy and paste all pics to both folders.
  I then work with the Reduced folder pics (always keep the original pics untouched). I use Photoshop to adjust and resize my pics. First I make sure the Brightness/Contrast are correct. Even with flash I have to lighten the pic many times. Once I am done correcting the pic, I adjust the size to 7x5 or 5x7 inches at 80 DPI. At this size and DPI the pics are an easy size to upload and enlarge very nice once posted.
  
  Next I go into windows explorer and open the pics as thumb nails. I rename each jpeg with text instead of the jpeg #. Example first pic will be #1 The ingredients.jpeg. I chose each pic and number all of the pics I plan on uploading. I found as I pick and number the pics, I will click back on the first quiche folder, then back to Reduced. This arranges all the pics by #’s and makes it easier to upload. Uploading to group recipes is interesting. I always type the opening paragraph describing the recipe, the ingredients and directions in a word doc that is saved in my JJ’s Recipe file. I do this as this site will time out and all the effort is lost. Copy and paste is fast and safe. Then I submit some grub by copying and pasting the description, directions, ingredients and will have already picked which pic is the main pic, browse, upload that pic. Then it is on to Step by Step pics. With the reduced pics as thumbnails I start uploading by the #’s. I don’t use the last pic upload window as it won’t take as many as there are available. So I upload about 6 at a time. Now isn’t that easy. JJ
