Posting Pictures???

I'm an idiot. I've done it before but I can't seem to get it figured out. I have pictures in my albums but all I seem to be able to post is a link, not the actual picture. Can somebody help with instructions or a link?

Thanks,

Devin

 

The easiest method I use is to open the snipping tool and drag it over the photo.
Then paste it onto your reply.

here is an example [below]

 

I hit the upload a file ****on, that opens a window to find a folder, open it to pick a file, open to attach. Choose Full Image.

 

Hit the upload a file ****on.
Locate the pic on your computer
Double click on it or tick it and hit open
A small icon of it will appear below the text box
Place the cursor when you want it to go and left click mouse etc. There will be flashing vertical line where you did that.
Bring your cursor arrow down to the small icon of your pic and click 'full image'.

 

Click on upload a file

Click on the photo (s) you want to upload

Limit of 20 photos at one time and it may be less now. Slow internet may time out before you can post a large number in one post and you may have to cut down the number. Figure out how many the Hamb lets you post along with how many your internet will handle. I can use McDonald's wifi and load faster than I can at home.

Decide if you want thumbnail or full image. I suggest full image unless the resolulution of your photos are so high that you have a bigger photo than the page can handle.

 

Please guys, hit that "full image" ****on.

 

Hello,

When anyone is ready to load a photo from your digital files, open up a Word Do***ent. Now, write your story with paragraphs, grammar and punctuation. Where a photo would enhance the story, copy your digital photo and paste it in the word do***ent paragraph. Simple, copy and paste. The photo should go on the page as easy as pie. But, because your digital camera or phone camera has different levels of photo mp or megapixels, the photo you take and paste could be small or large.

This is where most folks do not adjust their photo size for clarity or composition. In a hurry to post the photo, no composition is used and the photo is almost full page size. Perhaps out of focus to a degree or two, but definitely noticeable. The larger the photo, the out of focus it becomes. Unless you start out with a larger MP or megapixel size in your camera build and/or adjust before posting.

It used to be a small 5 mp for standard digital cameras. That created a clear photo but then had limits. The new phones that had cameras back then were smaller in MP, around 2-3 mp. So, the digital cameras had a size and clarity advantage. But, at the phones got better and more technology got built in, then the race to get a clear photo on that small screen became a factory race for advertising dollars. Still, composition is necessary and the exact point and shoot is still about focusing and staying still until the camera catches up to your eye.

In a hurry to take phone photos, zoom and focus come into play for good composition. It is the subject (hot rods) and not trees, people milling about and/or fence lines that make the subject matter. But, in the heat of the phone photo, it is just point and shoot. Sometimes, the phone shoots multiple photos as per technology.

By copying your digital photo from your file, you can now paste it onto your paragraph story and you will be surprised at how large it is. So, now you can adjust the size for clarity and composition. Who wants to see miles of pavement and/or sky, when you can adjust your camera to take just the nice hot rod sitting there? The old adage of “quality, not quan***y” sticks its nose in everyone’s presentation of photos.

Here is your chance to adjust your photos to make sure the size and quality is right, before posting. Now, that you have adjusted your photo within your paragraphs, you are ready to post to the reply section of the HAMB

As you type in your story, then copy your photo separately and find where it will be placed. Then forget the tabs, sometimes using them work and other times they do not. By using your own, copy the photo and then paste onto the reply box above, you can put it where you want. (if you type out the whole story on a Word Do***ent, including the adjusted photos, one cannot just copy the whole thing and paste it directly to the reply box) Even the links to You Tube movies or other HAMB stories have their own lives and must be adjusted before posting. Photos do not just come out on the reply, unless they are individually placed.

So finally, you have all of your reply box filled out and are ready to hit the post reply tab. It gets posted and you see a drastic error. Here is the good thing about typing on a separate Word Do***ent… it is saved. Now, you can have a copy or in this case, once deleted, you have a copy to make corrections again and repost.

Last note: If the photo is the only thing that got screwed up, then delete it. But, when you add in a corrected photo, you cannot just post it in the reply. You have to use the “more options” tab and now that new screen will allow you to resubmit your photo in your story.

YRMV... GOOD LUCK I have been doing this for a while, now and have made plenty of mistakes. But through trial and error, composition of photos learned a long time ago, makes it easier to post.

 

So to anybody else that's having difficulty posting pictures from files already loaded to the HAMB, what I got to work was going to the picture already uploaded, clicking on it to open it, the on the right are multiple options for share media. By double clicking on the second one called Share Image, it is then highlighted in blue, and I can then right-click copy and at the top section of a post click on the picture box next to the smiley face and insert the image location.



Success!

Don't need to when using the method I mentioned above.
It automatically pastes full size

Here is @4 pedals photo from above snipped and pasted

 

Looks like it got cropped or did you do that on purpose?

 

Yep , I did just to show the flexibility of the "snipping tool" ,but the actual photo details are still full size [to the donor]

You can also open a photo file and "roll" the wheel on your mouse to enlarge it . Then snip and paste it here
No attaching is needed.

Here is one I enlarged using the above technique


Here is the original [just snipped an pasted]


You can also steal [I mean borrow] photos from the net and use the same techniques.
here for example:


I also do this technique when replying on emails. [You can stack the photos between script]

 

The Snipping tool is part of Windows [I'm using an old Windows 7 program]



Search for it ,and make a short cut. [it is really useful]

once you open it, you click on "New" then drag over the photo [left click]
Then [right click] and paste.

Here are 2 examples [taken at scale]
