Help please. Tue May 26 13:48:45 -0700 2009 75879 Pigeage 1 4716542 This thread has a lot of info about pics. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/385354 Tue May 26 14:59:28 -0700 2009 4716278 93805 hannaone 1 4728636 The thread hannaone linked to above does indeed have a lot of information, but just in case it has too much, here's a digest. Photos on this site reproduce best if they are 520 pixels high by 390 pixels wide. A program such as Photoshop will let you crop to those exact measurements. If you do not have a photo program that will allow you to do that, you need to make sure that whatever the dimensions of your photo it is not more than 2 MB in size. If this doesn't work for you, tell us what platform you're on and what photo editing software you have access to and someone here ought to be able to give you specific instructions.

Thanks, hannaone. Senior moment.

Wed Sep 16 19:16:35 -0700 2009 4716278 259263 bigfellow 2 5035694 I've posted a lot about uploading photos and associated problems. I see you have posted quite a few pictures before. What has changed in what you are doing? If nothing, try going through the whole process again. Sometimes the file gets corrupted in the process of converting it to another format, resizing, etc. Another thing I suspect may be the culprit is going too fast. When you have picked the file and are ready to upload the image, pause for a few seconds and make sure that Chow is ready. I think the signals aren't always in sync or the site can't respond as fast as you can act. Just a hunch. Chowhound's photo uploading process is flaky. I don't have any of these issues on any other site and I'm a semi-pro at this. Wed Sep 16 19:33:47 -0700 2009 5035659 137946 Scargod 3 5035717 Thank you. I tried once more. But no joy. Wed Sep 16 19:44:32 -0700 2009 5035694 259263 bigfellow 1 5124613 I still can't upload photos. Fri Oct 23 02:55:54 -0700 2009 4716278 259263 bigfellow 2 5124650 You're not doing anything to help us help you. Have you ever had success uploading a picture to Chowhound? What camera are you using? Are they going through software provided with the camera, before you save them to your computer? In other words are they manipulated or converted in any way as they come off your camera? Are they jpgs you are uploading and are you staying below the 2 megabyte limit? Do you send or upload pictures anywhere else on the internet with success? Fri Oct 23 04:25:48 -0700 2009 5124613 137946 Scargod 3 5124661 I have successfully uploaded many pictures. But for the last month or so, everytime I use the attach photo button, the photo doesn't upload. Photos are within size and are jpgs. The last photos were taken with an Olympus camera. They are unaltered. Fri Oct 23 04:37:45 -0700 2009 5124650 259263 bigfellow 4 5124683 Not knowing what Olympus I can't say more except it might not hurt to reset the camera to its defaults and try again. I'm not saying it is you, but something has changed, hasn't it? I, personally haven't had issues uploading (recently). I sure have had my share of uploading issues and it seemed to be related to jpg formatting. I've posted quite a bit about my travails... Fri Oct 23 04:58:21 -0700 2009 5124661 137946 Scargod 5 5124689 Thank you Fri Oct 23 05:04:11 -0700 2009 5124683 259263 bigfellow 6 5124811 I don't know a lot of about image types, as Scargod can attest, but the most common problem I've found with jpegs people sent me that they couldn't upload is that they have an 'RGB colour profile embedded'. I open them up in GIMP, which is the photo editor that I normally use, and it tells me that, and I save them without the embedded colour profile, and then they upload fine. Fri Oct 23 06:26:02 -0700 2009 5124689 10021 Jacquilynne 7 5125024 As she says, this was a problem for me at least once and moreoften a problem if I save it in Photoshop. That is why I asked about software or an editor. I have found that sRGB and" Adobe RGB 1998" seem to upload OK. As I recall "ProPhoto RGB" is a problem. If your camera has other nomenclature (and choices), then I suggest going online for clarification. Photoshop calls one IIC (color), profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1. I can save a jpg with that profile or NOT. Perhaps some cameras have similar options for saving. I think you need the most basic jpg when uploading to Chowhound.
