  I agree! I just tried the new uploader as well, and I was pleased at how easy it was to navigate. I was surprised how quickly my photo uploaded! Very nice!!

  I am used to entering Tiff format images and the Platinum wouldn't allow this format. Any chance Jim, if the tiff will be added to the other formats for uploading through Platinum Uploader?

  The Uploader recognizes the following file formats as images:

JPEG
TIFF (in Internet Explorer only)
BMP
GIF
PNG
PSD (in Internet Explorer only)

I recommend uploading JPEGs.


Here's one very cool thing I forgot to relay to you all... the large size is now 1024px on the long end (not 800). So you can save as JPEG 1024px on the long end, before uploading.

Also, rotate your photo before uploading, if it needs it.

Thanks,
Jim

  P.S. I have not tested all of the other formats. Even though the uploader supports them, one or more may not work due to other factors in the programming.

  Thanks Jim for letting us know.

I use Firefox and thats why I was unable to upload a tiff image.

As you recommend above, from now onwards, I will start saving in Jpeg at 1024px on the longer side.

  Hi Jim,

Would you please let us know if we are judged on images 1024 pixels or 800 pixels? It will make a difference on how tightly an image is cropped for me depending on what camera I'm using.

Thank you in advance for your answer.
Sharon
