how to get pictures

Hello,

Working with a small 4-5 inch screen and mini buttons seems like a no go for me. Sure, we all have phones and they are handy. But, for adjusting photos, a larger screen, allows a better sight on the subject and composition of the actual photo.

It is not just the phone, but the photos. Since the days of mini MP for phone cameras, there have been improvements in quality and access. But, to think of writing this on a 4-5 inch overall screen and mini keys seems a time consuming project that always has difficulties of some kind.

We have used the phone cameras to take a photo if our digital cameras are not available. But, to work on the actual photo for clarity and size reconstruction for composition is a direction we do not care to go on for our photos. Compare the screen size is the first thing. Pinching the photo to get the overall look goes on daily for most, but once it is transferred to a larger screen like a 17 inch laptop, then the quality of the photo composition can take place.

Here is a story with photos used in phone cameras versus a laptop screen for composition. It is not rocket science to see the quality can still be done, it just takes a few simple steps to get it done correctly. By adding it to any part of the classifieds or regular HAMB, prior adjustments must be made. The MP on most cameras are going up and the small phone photos look good, but, final adjustments must be made for most web sites to fit in place. Otherwise, the photo will fill up the whole page, if allowed.

Note:


The Iphones have increased their pixels per photos and now they are clear and larger. So, save all photos to your own computer. Yes, I know all photos go directly to the Apple Icloud. But, you can see them on your phone, but can't adjust them. It is a pain due to the 3-4 inch screen composite overall.

So upload the photos to your computer or laptop files. Now, once they are there, you can use your built in photo detailing program to adjust and resize the photos before copying and pasting them directly. Once, our phones took little dinky megapixel photos and they could be copied and pasted to any website without any problems.

But, due to the fact that Apple wants folks to use their camera on the phone instead of getting a 35mm size digital camera from Canon/Nikon/or any other top quality brands speaks for itself. They want you to see the value in taking all of your photos with the phone and not high quality photos with a digital camera. It is getting closer for comparisons but, still a long way to go to he equal to a larger 35mm style digital camera.

When my wife wants a photo she took as a print, we have to do some adjustment to get the size we want. Or use a Kodak SD card machine. But at home, it is a simple process of resizing it smaller to post on the HAMB.

Note2:
On my phone, the photos are quite large, too. Not an Apple, but an Android. So, for some photos posted on the HAMB I have to use my photo program to resize them. Or copy and paste them on a Word Document to see how big the photo is on an 8x10 sheet. Then lower the size with the corner dots to make them smaller.
This is an original 35mm color slide, not Kodak Ektachrome, but an experimental 35mm film strip. The size copied and saved to my own files looks good as shown on my computer. But, when I copy and paste it to show the photo, it automatically enlarges itself to this size. Making it somewhat fuzzy as it gets larger.

A copy of the photo slide is used and directly posted to this thread makes it automatically this large. Then, it becomes fuzzier than the original in focus slide. It is just not as clear as the original color slide film transparency.

If I use the "upload a file" portion of the HAMB thread, this is the result. So, it is still somewhat in focus and the idea of the hot rod still gets across, but it is not enlarged to the point of being so fuzzy from a normal size 35 mm color slide.

And, it is harder to place directly into a series of paragraphs of the typed story. It is used just for an add on accessory to highlight the whole story with a photo or two at the end.

For the majority of photos posted, I still use the simple Word Document as a base and start my paragraph writing first. Then add the photos as per necessary to showcase the writing. Copy and paste is simple, but adjustable to fit the story and not overpower the story with fuzzy photos.

It is old school, but almost effortless to use the adjustable paste photo aspect of the Word Document. It is a trial and error practice until the whole story is finished. Then, it is ready to copy and paste as per topic or HAMB thread. It is not just a rush to get a dozen photos from the web to copy and paste without any history or facts to go along with the photo(s) YRMV
