DOWNLOADING PHOTO'S

[TONY C.]

Hi guys, i want to post some photo's in the near future onto the bird forum, i am told that it is best if you sharpen your photo's prior to posting them, but if they are coming via flickr how would you do that? and secondly if downloading your photo's from flickr do they still need to be below 200kb in size? Thanks. Tony.

If you have them on flickr you can just use the code links they supply - using flickr as the host.
Many on here do this you will notice.
Also anyone can click through to larger versions or your other shots if they want.

You can upload an image that is 10mb if you like.

When you post it from Flickr it will give you various size options. The options are in the physical size, rather than memory size.

I'll use one of my images from Flickr as an example:


Swainson's Rainbow Lory by ACW#, on Flickr


Swainson's Rainbow Lory by ACW#, on Flickr


Swainson's Rainbow Lory by ACW#, on Flickr


Swainson's Rainbow Lory by ACW#, on Flickr


Swainson's Rainbow Lory by ACW#, on Flickr

and I can keep going bigger and bigger by just choosing different options. These have all been done with the same image on Flickr, so just upload it as large as you like, and pick a smaller option when pasting the link onto bird forum.

Also if you ever lose your images off of your computer, you'll have them backed up on Flickr

The normal size posted is "Medium 640 x 427" which is this size

Hope that helps.

With regards to the sharpening, don't get too hung up on that for now.
Some pictures come out nice and sharp, and more often than not it's just a 'tweak' in post processing rather than a 'must have' as a result of flickr.

Post up some pics and we'll see what they come out like
