Title: My first game cam pics ready to post, but first I have a question
Post by: Band on January 05, 2015, 05:01:33 PM: I know how to post pics by first putting them somewhere on the web (Photobucket in my case) but is it possible to post pics directly from a file on my computer without having to put them on the web first? :dunno:

It's best if you can resize your pictures first, to 800x600 or smaller.

Post by: Band on January 05, 2015, 05:31:05 PM: OK, I think I've got it figured out thanks to your tips. :tup:

So, the pics didn't turn out very well and it sounds like I missed a reformatting step in my SD cards which may have caused that problem, so I'll need to figure that out for better quality pics. The camera is in the woods a short walk from home just to test it out before putting it out in a good hunting area. I am getting does so far but I changed the location by about 100 yards today that I think may have a little more traffic so I'm hoping to get a buck on film.

Post by: jrebel on January 05, 2015, 05:35:40 PM: open pic, right click the mouse on the pic, "open in"..."paint", re-size to 800x600, save and post. This is what I do and it is really easy.
