Uploading Photos

Michael McArdle

Can anyone tell me how I go about uploading photos from a digital camera on to the Internet? Thanks.

Nothingcompares

Hi Michael. You need to host your pictures on a server. A server is like a computer that is always on that other people connect to, to view files. You can buy space on a server, you may have gotten some free from the company that supplies your broadband. There are also "free" ones such as imageshack. http://imageshack.us/ Go to that website. Give it a go and let me know if you can't get it to work.

If you've taken a picture with a good quality digital camera it's probably real big (in terms of pixels and file size) and I recommend you reduced the size of the picture. There are programs out there to do that too. But that's optional.

Fajitas!

other options for hosting are
www.photobucket.com

And

www.flickr.com

They both have free accounts where you can store everything together.

You can download Picasa from here: http://picasa.google.com/index.html

It's Windows only but Mac users can download a plug-in for iPhoto and an App that allows you to upload directly from your Mac.

You can download the Mac stuff from here: http://picasa.google.com/web/mac_tools.html

Either option allows you to register with Google and get 250mb of webspace free. 6 gigabytes is only $25 per year. No Ads
