Uploading photos from a Mac Do any body else is unable to upload photos from a Mac computer? Every time I attempt to do so, I get an error message from the Java applet, wether in FireFox or Safari. Is it the tiff format? I'll appreciate any help.

Hi Hugo, Sorry for the delay in responding. Yes, the issue could be Tiffs. While it's possible to upload a Tiff file, it will take longer, especially if uploading more than one image at a time. Plus, if the file is a large size, it might be impossible. The best approach would be to upload JPEGs, and then size them at anywhere from 800 pixels to 1600 pixels - maximum - on the long side. I hope this is helpful! Thanks,

P.S. Also, if your files are the right side and you are still having an issue, you might try the Alternate Image Uploader. You'll see that link at the bottom of the first uploading page. It often works, and it doesn't require a special program.

Thank you very much, Kerry. The alternate Image Uploader worked perfectly. Problem solved. Hugo

Kerry, you mention 1600 pixels. Doesn't BP down-size the photo to 800 pixels max, if the uploaded size is larger than 800? If so, is there an advantage of uploading to 1600 pixels?

Kerry, thanks for the link. Just to confirm, if I upload an image at 1600 pixels on the long size, will BP allow me to display that same size from my gallery? Years ago, we could, which was great for uploading panos. But that changed a few years ago. Now, when I try uploading a larger sized image to my gallery; e.g, one to 1600 pixels, BP crunches it down to 800 pixels. How do I display an image that's larger than 800 pixel in my basic gallery, without it reverting down to 800 pixels? THey all seem to scale back down to 800 pixels. If other BPers can display images that are larger than 800 pixels, please chime in. Thanks!!

Hi Ken, Thanks for the input. Yes, the pics will be downsized, except ... (from the Team BetterPhoto blog): "The only exception is when you upload an image to your home page on your Deluxe or Pro BetterPholio web site. Whatever sized image you upload to your home page is what will be displayed there." Hope this makes sense! Kerry

Kerry, yes, that makes sense. I was hoping BP would allow larger-sized images in our basic galleries, and for the contest. Maybe one day? :-)
