I would like to post and share my photos of Baja. However, I don't have an http address, only digital photos on my computer. Please instruct me. (I
searched but could not find previously posted instructions.) Thx

Reduce their size to UNDER 50k (49.8 is OK) and click on the Brouse button to select the photo. This way 1 per post.
And I'm waiting to see them---

Use the search feature here and type in Essay Contest by Packoderm... Instructions on how to reduce photo size to post here off your PC's files... The
'paint' method works great!
Here is that one:
I tried a new way that the great aridologist Neal Johns told me, and it was easy and in a program all pcs have (I think), 'paint'.
If 'paint' isn't on your deck top, do this (click on):
a) Start
b) All Programs
c) Accesories
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Paint (start here if 'paint' is on your desk top)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) File
3) Open...
3a) then click on the photo to get reduced (double click).
4) Image
5) Sketch/Skew... then change the % down from 100 in both sketch & skew to a lesser number... My photos were taken at normal quality 55-60 kbs.
(vs. HQ or SHQ) and changing the % to around 90% brought the kbs to under 50.
If you are taking HQ images, try reducing to 30%.
Continue to Click on:
6) OK
7) File
8) Save As
8a) now type in a name for the photo or add R to it to indicate it is the reduced one... this is a copy so you don't mess with the original.
9) Save
THAT'S IT!
When you move the mouse over the reduced photo in the files, the kb size will show and let you know if you didn't get it low enough, or too low! In
either case, repeat the steps above... after you do a couple it gets pretty easy.
Neal gets the credit for this method, don't thank me if you like it!

Hey, this is a great way to play with the images. Thanks DK
This is a shot of the surf camp at Mag Bay. Southern Hemi doing what is does best, making big waves. Note the pole and tarp sun shades over dome
tents on top of astro turf. Very comfy. The campers scramble to pack up everything that might blow away when a Chubasco wobbles their way. Great
fishing too, 18 miles out is Thetis Bank for dorado, tuna and marlin. Pargo and corbina from the rocks, bass and halibut at the estuary and more.
