Lynn,

   

  Its too late for the aforementioned photos, but check now to see if you digital camera has the "thumbnail" photo feature..........one that lets your camera create and store a smaller, email sized copy of the original high mb and pixel photo.  Most digital cameras have the feature built in, but you need to chose it...........sometimes they will look blurry on your computer as you view them, but will come out okay to the end user and much smaller in megabyte size for quick internet exchanging and uploading.

Don Pearsall just let me know that he has posted my 1st flight photos 

on Sportflight, under First Flights. I had submitted them to him, then 

added a retouched (Photoshop) version of the liftoff shot. That one is 

huge! (I was having fun making the plane "move" by using the bottom 

cursor, and supplying my own "airplane sounds" ...Jabiru, that is...you 

Rotax guys have another sound. : ) )



I was lamenting the fact that when I shot the liftoff, the ground-level 

wind indicator was right in the way of the rear fuselage, so I called 

on my experiences with Photoshop, and took out the offending sock and 

pole. I couldn't recall how to decrease the size of the file so sent it 

out as a JPEG file of 328 KB. The others are smaller, and sent out as 

Kodak EasyShare files of about 31 KB, although these numbers are not 

reflected as such on the Sportflight site. If anybody knows how to make 

a smaller file from a JPEG, let me know. I tried saving as a PICT, and 

a TIFF, but the size did not apparently change.

Thanks, Sid.

I'll look into that info. When I use EasyShare, as I mentioned, they 

leave here at 31KB, and take about a minute or so each to send out on 

my phone line, and are very viewable on the receiving end. I'll have a 

look at the thumbnail option.

Lynn,

 If Sid's tip doesn't work for you try this. You mentioned using 

Photoshop. Save a copy of the picture with a different name. Open the 

new file in Photoshop. Check the Actual pixels display size in the View 

menu and use the Image menu to adjust the size using "Image size". Once 

you have the actual pixel size fitted on the screen for full viewing 

look for "Save for Web" in the File menu. That will optimize the image 

for web use. You can't do much better than that, but sometimes using the 

Filter menu with Sharpen can improve the resulting image a little. Good 

Luck. Contact me off list if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the tip, Rex....I got the size down with "image size" but 

under File in the menu, "save for web" is not highlighted...it is 

dimmed. I will off-list you if I can't figure it out.
