Photo Gallery

[QUOTE=Dazednconfused]Questor, you got two issues going on here. One is the physical dimensions of the photo, and the other is its resolution (dots per square inch).

You have to do a two stage process ...

One of the programs that comes with Leopard is called Preview. You will find it in the applications folder if it is not in your Dock already.

Choose the photo you want to upload to ISG and open that photo with Preview.

In the Tools pull down menu at the top of the screen is an option called Adjust Size. Go to the "fit into" (where it says "other") and choose 640 x 480. Make sure the resolution box has 72 pixels per inch in it.

Click "OK"

Next, in Preview's File pull down menu is an option Save As.

Choose JPEG in the format box.

There is a slider at the bottom of the Save As screen which lets you choose the file size (resolution). Around 80 - 100k will give you a photo that is clear to view and does not take long to download.

MOST IMPORTANT: Change the name of your photo in the box at the very top of the Save As screen. Add "lo_res" or ISG or something to the original file name. If you do not change the name of the file, the save as will copy over the top of the original file and you will lose your original high resolution image. Changing the name avoids this.

Click the blue "Save" button.

Sorry for taking up Gallery space with this.[/QUOTE]


Thanks for this from all of us "Tech Challenged" photogs!

Woops - according the recent discussion on the Manila thread, I maybe should have moved hotels, left the country and changed my name:p

P.S ...She's legal!

Well I guess this one gal has not met WR yet.....

Great pic regardless of the funny photoshop on it.

Please read the Forum's Posting Guidelines for further information.[/blue][/QUOTE]Apologies for breaking the house rules. I did read in the guidelines the bit about not posting links to competing forums but didn't (or rather don't) regard my website as any kind of competition to ISG. Your website is vast and (along with one other website I better not mention) is the ultimate resource for mongers to plan their own trip, gain advice or tell others about their experiences. My website is just one man's experiences, written in a very personal diary format.

I have even posted large excerpts of my Philippines diary in the Angeles, Cebu, Manila and 'Other Towns' sections of ISG, including lots of photos. I wouldn't do that if I thought there was a conflict of interest and I was competing against your excellent site.

Also, originally I thought I wasn't allowed to post links to other websites on this forum but when I posted the following a few months ago:

[QUOTE=Sir Lancelot]Thanks for the compliments. I actually wrote a 23 day diary for another website - I'm assuming I can't post a link on this site though?[/QUOTE]
I got the reply below in which the website wasn't blocked. That's why I assumed I would be allowed to post my own link.

[QUOTE=Red Kilt]I am so glad that you have joined ISG Sir L.
I have followed your exploits in the footsteps of Thommo for the past few years, and he has trained you very well.

We are all the better to have your penmanship (or whatever the digital equivalent is?) here on ISG.

Looking forward to more reports.

BTW, the link you didn't think you could post is [url]http://www.whorist.com/[/url][/QUOTE]I realise that this is the photos section, so I better post a photo.

This is Alicia (wrote about in my diary which appeared in the Manila section of this website). She worked mainly from the top floor of LA Cafe but I managed to catch her downstairs.

Anything you can do CS, I can do better. LOL

[QUOTE=Lostwodpun]Well I guess this one gal has not met WR yet.[/QUOTE]Talking of WR (here's some clutter) was chatting to a girl yesterday.

Says she hung around for a year of so with a guy who was over 50 and under 55, who was either a Brit or Aussie (she wasnt sure) and who loved to, nay insisted on anal with her.

In return she got her school fees paid for a year or so.

Could have been WR exactly, except for the fact that said girl was 28, way too old for SirWR and she said he had a Harley.

[QUOTE=FreebieFan]Anything you can do CS, I can do better. LOL[/QUOTE]

Trust you to pick up on the room ...lol! We both deserve invites to their Xmas bash:).

But I still think my 'schoolgirl' is cuter.

Spot the dreaded wet spot from our earlier shenanigans:D.

[QUOTE=Lostwodpun]Well I guess this one gal has not met WR yet.....[/QUOTE]

Wow, those girls are hot. In what venue was that photo taken ?

Spot the dreaded wet spot from our earlier shenanigans:D.[/QUOTE]Id love to play double or quits CS re the schoolgirl pics, but this is my last day at work (new job new country), as as such my file shredder is working overtime deleting and shredding all photos and videos that really shouldn't be on my work pc LOL.

Enjoy the almost retirement!

And yes yours was cute too.

Your school girl scores the winner.

So it is possible for a old pooner to score a fantasy girl?

I, m going to stand by the school exit at recess and hold up lunch money.

Nice score.

A couple of hotties from my recent trip to Cebu. Both were found on Craigs list.

[QUOTE=Vandaddio] So it is possible for a old pooner to score a fantasy girl?[/QUOTE]

Yup, all is possible in The Philippines.

You have a badly swollen organ and you require your own personal nurse to apply a spit poultice - no problem:D

[QUOTE=FreebieFan]Id love to play double or quits CS re the schoolgirl pics, but this is my last day at work (new job new country)..[/QUOTE]

Shame as I know you a large personal collection of ...ahem, interesting photos which you have been too bashful, in the past, to show us.

Good luck with the move ...hope you are not going too far and still are able to provide some of your inimicable input to ISG.

Lovely ... you lucky man!
