Wondering if this photo feels better in b&w or color. Any advice?
Im sorry, I havent quite figured out how to make these a correct size. If there too hard to see please look at them in My album- Portfolio. Thanks!

Hello Vicki¬¨¬®¬¨¬Æ¬¨¬®¬¨?Ü‚Äö?Ñ????ë?????´‚Äö?Ñ????ë‚Äö?тĆ

I was not able tosee the full image size, for some reason the album will not let me see the full imae size.

If you want to post the full size try this when you are posting the images:

Under the 'Insertion Option' look for this:

How to Insert Image: Full Image (HTML)

That should do it, but if you have any problems, just let me know.

I tried the full image size

I tried the full image size and it seemed to blow it out of this box. Should I try again?

Yes please. It might be

Yes please.

It might be that the images are too big, you may also try uploading smaller pictures.

Simplified forum images uploads

Do you all think I should remove the option of showing thumbnails? So that the full image is shown by default?

That would make things a little simpler, wouldn't it?

I'll see if I can fix that before the week is out.

The forum image uploads are one of my major concerns at the moment, I'll see how I can improve it.

PS. For this shot I like the black and white one, but I would convert it differently.

I'll download the color one and show you what I mean.






I guess it is worth to try

I guess it is worth to try that option ed, if it does'n work, you can always go back to the current stage.

I agree with ed about the black and white, but I don't want to give my final opinion until I can see the full size.

Usually I'm a bit more computer savvy but "my album" has been giving me a run for my money. I think I have them both viewable in my album- Portfolio now. I will try to post one here full size in a bit just to see what happens. Wish me luck!

Ed, Thanks for the feedback. Im very interested in what you can do to make this better. I'm having a blast taking photos of the town for the new themed contest.

Don't worry Vicki, you are

feloescoto's picture

Don't worry Vicki, you are pretty computer savvy to me, this is a problem caused by the system, not the user.

I can't see your images here, I tried to fix them, but the problem persists. Ed and I are working on fixing this issue and we apologies for any inconvenience.

I did see your full size images in your album and I do like the b/w one.

How did you convert it? Which settings did you use?

I don't know if this is what ed means, but to me it requires a little vintage added to it, right now it is only a b/w photo, the subject is really nice and the composition too (I like how you used the lines to give it perspective), but I think that it could use a little more work with the setting or some 'special effects' to really send it back to 1908.

Venting

Vickis_zoo's picture

As I thought about this conversation I thought I'd give Gimp a try. It did have alot of tools to play with......anyway, I usually dont think too much about my bad eye sight or color blindness but as I fooled with the different tools I realized I was not seeing my photo as someone else will. What looks great to me may not to someone with "normal" eyes.

My bad eye sight has never really bothered me too much, other then not being able to drive, because I was born like this. It hasn't been until recently that it's been a drag.

Well, thanks for listening to me vent. I think I will change my pace tonight and walk away from my computer and watch some tv.

Enjoy your evenings all.

Vicki,

I am going to send you a very long and considered response as soon as I have installed personal messaging.

For the moment, just know that this post has not gone unnoticed.
