Super User Fishing Rhino Posted March 31, 2018 Super User Posted March 31, 2018 I am currently using photobucket (the free subscription) but it has made a chore out of searching for photographs in my album. It seems every click is accompanied by a pop up ad or ads which slows the process to a scrawl. All I want it for is to store photographs in a format which will allow photos to be posted on this site. Any suggestions? I'm looking for a simple solution to move photos from my smart phone to the forum if such an animal exists. I've tried emailing them to me and the image shows when I open the email. But I cannot copy the image then post it on the forum. Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted March 31, 2018 Super User Posted March 31, 2018 Google Photos or just Google-Drive? Quote
Way north bass guy Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 I use image resize+. It works great on my iPhone. Just pick a picture from your album, slide the top over to the percentage of shrinkage you need ( also shows the new total size), and then save it to your photo album. Then you can choose that one to put online. Works great for me. And yes, I did say “shrinkage” ?. 2 Quote
frosty Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 I’ll second what way north bass guy said, minus the shrinkage that process is much easier than going to a third party hosting site. I have photo bucket to, honestly I don’t even mess with saving anything to it anymore. Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted April 2, 2018 Author Super User Posted April 2, 2018 Thanks for the replies. I found out I can move/import photos from my phone to the computer using the photo app in Windows 10. I signed up for Imgur but when I opened it the page was covered with the most popular photos. I struggled a bit with it, and gave up for the time being. Moving/importing photos via the photo app is quite simple. But I have yet to figure out how to re-size the images. I can find the edit feature, but nothing that will resize them to make them suitable for posting on this site. It has a "size" button which seems to be more of a cropping tool than reducing the file size. Quote
