Camilla Mecham		resolution When I load my pictures onto the website, they lose resolution. How can I prevent this? It is discouraging to look at a picture in my gallery and not see the lines as crisp as they were in the program my computer displays. Thanks for the help.

Raymond H. Kemp		I've seen the same thing and thought it was my images after I processed them to jpg. Still the same results, loss of quality yet on my web site they are sharp. I'm anxouis to see what someone knows about this as well. Ray To love this comment, log in above October 02, 2006

W.		No matter how big and brilliantly crisp your photo is, when you upload them most online galleries will resize and recompress them to within a limit of, say, 800x600, or some such. This saves on storage space, and up- & download times. I.o.w. it saves money. And less cost means more profit. That's why online galleries are perhaps suitable for [i]showing[/i] your photos to third parties. But they are very UNsuitable for [i]distribution[/i] of your photos, in all their glory, to others. If you want to [i]distribute[/i] (send) your photos: 1) zip 'm together into archives up to 100MB each, 2) give these big files unique names, then 3) send through http://www.yousendit.com/ or http://www.rapidshare.de/ to the eMail addresses of your recipients. They'll receive a link from which they can download those archives at their leisure (while their mailboxes remain unclogged!). Want security? Then zip 'm with a password (set in 'Prefences' under 'File'). Of course you'll still have to find a way to get that password to your recipient... To love this comment, log in above October 11, 2006
