What's the easiest way to transfer my digital pics to a thread?

[Lefty]

I was wondering how I can put some of my pictures from my digital camera to a post on one of these forums?

did you digi cam come with software to upload to your comp? My camera did and I was able to crop and re-size my pics using that. Then I uploaded them to photobucket.com or you can jsut upload them onto ASFN (but there is a limit size)

How do you upload the pic from my camera onto ASFN?

How do you upload the pic from my camera onto ASFN?

if you have a usb cord that goes from your camera to your comp, plug that in

the pics will go to some folder on your comp.

once at ASFN:
1. go to the thread you wanna post them in, and click "reply"
2. while in the reply screen, go to "manage attachments"
3. then click browse and locate your folder with the pics
4. pick a picture that you want, then click "upload" (you can upload up to 5 pics at a time.. as long as they are under the allotted file size.. which i think is like 7f kb)
5. then close the manage attachments screen and click reply

You don't upload it from the camera to ASFN. You upload the pix from your camera to your computer first.

Then you need to make sure they are in .jpg or .gif format. (your camera should come with some s/w that does this if they are not already).

Finally, you need to make sure they are under 80K in size.

Then you can just attach them like any other picture.

If your computer has a memory card reader, using it to copy photos is pretty easy. Windows has a wizard or you can access the photos directly.

As for compressing, like jw7 you might already have some software for that purpose. If not, you can install Microsoft's image resizer:
