Photo Tips

1. Obtaining Photos

Upload up to 52 photos, up to 5MB* each. (Dialup users may need to resize their photos. See Photo Resizing below.)
Need Digital?
		Ask a friend with a digital camera to take your photo.
		Ask for a CD next time you develop your film.
		Scan your paper photos. Kinkos and others rent scanner use by the hour.

2. Saving photos from a web site or received via e-mail

To save a web site photo onto your computer:

Right click the image with your mouse and select Save Picture as... or Save Image As...

To save a photo received as an e-mail attachment:

Click on the photo or attachment inside the message with the left mouse button and keep the left mouse button pressed while you drag the photo/attachment to your Desktop (or inside a folder) then release the mouse button to drop it there.

3. Photo Resizing & Editing

For dialup users, or when an image is simply too large, you'll need to resize your photos. These programs are available for free for Windows:

Faststone Image Resizer - a free image resizer. Read a review here.
Faststone Image Viewer - a complete photo editor. (Not quite as simple but it has a full array of photo editing features.) Read a review of this product here.

4. Adding Photos to your Gallery

Click My Photos (center panel, home page) or My Profile->My Photos from the top menu.
Select the Gallery you wish to upload your photos to by clicking one of the tabs:
- Standard Gallery - these photos will be visible for other members to view when they view your profile.
- Private Gallery - these photos are private. You must e-mail a member a "Photo Pass" to grant them access to your Private Gallery. (Sending a Photo Pass requires full membership.) Learn more about the Private Gallery here.
To add photos to your Gallery, in the blue control section of this page:
1. Use the Browse... button (or Choose File button if you're using Safari) to locate the photo in your computer.
2. Click Upload.
