I dug these out of the archives, as the question still needs addressing from time to time.

Tom et al...
All but 1 pic was a photo scanned in at 72 dpi (limit of our screens), I use Corel Photo Paint to resample the pics to the correct
size/resolution. The one pic of the bug was scanned directly into the scanner at 72 dpi.
To post pics on the forum they need to be:
1. small in memory size (20-<50K)
2. Jpg or Gif files (jpg's have better compression ratios)
3. 72 dpi ( again this is the limit of our screen resolution)
4. Click "post"
5. the next screen is where you put in the title and text,
6. check the box "attach a file"
7. Click "browse" and browse your drive to find the path and file name
8. click "validate/edit" and you're done!!

( you'll need to convert whatever pics you take with your Nikon in to jpg's from within a photo editor)

Hope this helps,
you may also find info at the very beginning of this forum, about the 12th message is from Eric Randall regarding posting of
images.

Good luck , hope to see somepics soon

welcome. THANKS - Tom -
