Lorchen OFFLINE Posts: 2639 Thank you received: 50	What are you trying to do to me???? I have had a hellishly tough day in school. I got home and part-cracked the photo thing, and you now want me to do circles?!....... I'm off for a cup of coffee and some soothing music....... Lorchen

Amoret OFFLINE Posts: 565	Fab quilt pic Alex! Glad it worked! (AND totally off the photo topic but in on the other, I watched an Elenor Burns yesterday doing Old Maid (Drunkards Path) Where she used interfacing a large square and complete circle and did 4 in one go. More like Applique, not piecing Lorchen.)

Ah ha, Alex on the bucket thing. I scanned that post but it was PC talk and I abandoned PC's ages ago. Too much work.

Thanks for the pic of your quilt and am very happy you made it big! Beautiful!

Lorchen........ If you read this...... Tackle the curves. I am finally doing a big Dahlia (54"). What fun! I have had the templates for 10 years waiting until I was experienced enough. Who knew it wasn't as bad as I thought. I am going to be so proud of myself when it is done, that I may do another.

Lorchen OFFLINE Posts: 2639 Thank you received: 50	Why apologize? I like the pictures big, Alex! Great quilt! That one might even drag me screaming and kicking to piece curves. Lorchen

The bucket place? What's that, Alex?!

I download my pic's to iPhoto. When I click on, attach file, in an email a window comes up with a place that says..... Browse. My computer is set up with iPhoto as the default. You can also use preview or whatever. I click on browse and choose my photo then I click open. The link opens in the browse box and I hit ok and it downloads the photo to my email.

Barbara

P.S. You do the same thing to download to TQS instead of email you are going through your profile to add a photo.

Amoret OFFLINE Posts: 565	I believe there are much easier ways but they can add a lot of bandwidth usage to the forum itself and that costs money. It's ok on a forum that doesn't need too many photos but this is a very visual hobby and it could go a bit bonkers. That's why pre hosting is good, no weight to the forum itself. Once you've done it a couple of times, it's a breeze.

Alex, maybe when the forum is "re-worked" we can have a format that allows MUCH EASIER UPLOADS for photos?????

Now this is quite an important step to save you pulling your hair out, on MOPM, click *Compress Pictures* at the bottom of the right hand menu.

I understood most of what you were saying and but what the hey is ..... MOPM ???

I have been doing all you have instructed in PaintShop Pro for years I just did not know what or why I was doing it I just knew it worked and I was getting the results I needed to post pictures. Your post has given me a better understanding of the process.

'''''''''

NEVER MIND I just re read your post and figured out MS OFFICE PICTURE MANAGER. I am not sure if Window7 has this capacity but I will take a look.

Thanks
