Transferring Files to the Contest I found your website in early October. I have tried to enter the contest every day since. I was able to transfer my file only twice. The image is in jpeg. I get to the point that the image is 100% transferred but the pop up part of the program where one categorizes the photo does not appear. What am I doing wrong? I think your website is excellent and look forward to entering the contest and possibly getting my own website. Thank you.

Hi Jane, I am not sure why your photo is not uploading. Are you confident that it is sized properly, according to the instructions? It could be that the photo is too large, perhaps?

Hi, I'm having trouble uploading also. I tried to upload for first time today. Tried it about 4 times. I'm not real good on computer so I thought I must be doing something wrong. I'm using TIFF. The blue line at bottom of computer fills all the way when I submit my photo and I was waiting for popup and waited so long got disconected. Does this make sence? Help! Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

Hi Shirley, The important thing is the size of the photo. 9 out of times when an upload is not working, the photo needs to be downsized. If you are using Photoshop, you can do this by using the Image Size option in the Image menu. The pixel dimensions (the ### x ### part) is more important than the resolution (the 72 dpi part). The shorter dimension should be no larger than 500 pixels. Hope this helps.

Another reason is will not work is if the image is in the wrong mode. The need to be in RGB. CMYK, LAB, DUO Tone and other modes will just fail to upload.

Since buying the new "Basic" gallery I have had problems entering the contest from the gallery. They do not show up in recent entries. My member center says the image has been entered, but it can not be found in the contest pages. Please help!

You might have to scroll thru the Contest pages, because BP sorts based on the date you first uploaded to BP, and not hte date you pulled the trigger to enter.

What is the date that you uploaded the image, Karen? Ifyou want the imges to show up on recent entires you should enter them right after uploading them. Each photo is given a number so they are entered in numerical order.

Thank you Ken for solving my problem. Now I understand. Jessica, from now on I will certainly do that. I have always done that but had a problem with them coming up totally white (I left one in my gallery as an example) so I was told to upload to the gallery first and enter from there. But I did a bunch in one day and that's where my problem started. You guys are really great. Thanks for your time and patience.

Karen, I've always used the single image uploader, and never had a problem.
