Conference gallery Upload?

[Dave Wooten]

I am having great difficulty in loading images to the gallery....I get a "your image was successfully loaded" message but then no image....what is confusing is that 2 of the images did actually upload and are on the gallery...any help is appreciated....I will try again later....( I am loading from desktop disk with scanned negs....have not had a problem before...also how do you down size the image if it is too big? instructions say that this will automatically be done? Duh...

Thanks
Dave in Vegas

That can happen if your images are not meeting the size restriction.

What software are you using? Photoshop?

Hello Robert,

my "method' is to

1. insert disk it comes up on the desk top then

2. I click on upload and it ask me to choose file

3. I click on the jpg with the photo number listed in the file and then

4. Click upload

this has worked in the past and 2 x s this morning...it indicates upload but no image....?

Oh it is a Mac computer, but I actually havent "opened up" photoshop..on desktop is for example NORITSU. CD....it then comes up in desk top choice and when I choose it, it lists all images on that disk....I choose the image for the upload

sounds like the images may be too big. Try copying the image off the disk, open it in photoshop or another image editing app and resize it to 700pixels or so, then save it so the file size is under 500kb. That should work.

Scanned images off a CD are rarely small enough for the web.

Dave et al...

Yes the problem is that Dave's images are way too large - 3MB each. I (my admin) reduced the size in PS and sent it back to Dave. Let's see if it works now. It's a great image, BTW.

Regards, Art.

Whoohoo! Success. When I get down to Vegas, Dave, I'll set you up with a folder structure other than your desktop! Sent you a link to Sabrina via e-mail.
