How to post pictures on LW

I'll leave that one up to Johanna. I'm scanner impaired also...

Tim,

I don't know what scanner or software you have but all of them generally have a place to turn down the scanned resolution. Both of my Silverfast packages have a dpi setting on the front screen. On the Microtek software you have to go to the advanced control panel before you can adjust the resolution. The regular screen one did not allow for it. The UMax also has a front screen dpi resolution setting. I have seen HP software on both ends of the spectrum with some that you have to search for the advanced featues. All of the HP's that I have have the resolution on the front screen

Drop me a line with you specific software and scanner and I may be able to help.

Regards,

Ben

A scanned item is a picture. You can use any graphics program to reduce the size. Often, scans are waaaay over 1MB straight out of the machine. The forum will accept 1MB from regular members and I think 1.5MB from contributing members, and it will take standard formats like jpg, jpeg, gif, png etc. It will not take bmp w/o my help because too many people were scanning HUGE bmps (which is often the default on a scanner) and it was a problem. Sometimes to see the detail on a pic a higher resolution must be used, but not that often. A good size to shoot for is 300-800 KB a pic.

This has nothing to do with the original subject (and you guys notice this thread is OLD?) but please remember not to scan copyrighted material and post it here withhout permission from the owner. If you need help locating the owner, PM or call me. If you aren't sure whether the material has a copyright, or you think that the owner won't mind, I will be glad to make a courtesy call asking for permission to post it. I have found that most folks are willing to share if we ask them nicely first. Thanks everyone for their help with this!

This is just a test to see if this aged brain can grasp photo posting.

Looks like there is life in the old dog yet.

Hey, I told you that if I could do it, so could you!! Keep posting pictures of your work. Interesting ideas in that carving.

PS. Your signature line is exactly what my Grandma used to say. Neat to see that saying again!

Hi Denise, that one was done around 20 years ago, this one was done just after that.

Had an accident that gave me issues with manipulating tools before I finished it, not picked up carving tools since. Now considering attempting a carving of my dog that passed away early Dec, problem is he was a Bichon Frise breed, Hair work and lack of definitive lines is something I have not attempted before, so browsing 'figure carving' for ideas.

Looks good. All the best in your new projects. There are some pretty good instructions and tips on here. Check out ClayB's posts especially. Figure carving, animals, hair, etc. are things he does really well.
