Members Blackie Posted December 7, 2012 Members Report Posted December 7, 2012 I started following this site over a year ago, and leather working for about a year. I finally have some projects completed and want to share with everyone. I'd say 90% of my time here is on my phone, I rarely use a PC. How do I post pics from my DROID? Quote
Members jkwparrott Posted December 7, 2012 Members Report Posted December 7, 2012 Good question Blackie. I take photos with my Droid but don't actually use it to post the pictures. I e-mail them to myself then post them using my Samsung tablet or my PC. If you can post from your phone you should be able to attach a photo I would think, but I have not investigated that yet. I'll give it a try and see what happens. I would use my phone more for this type of thing if my eyes were not so old! I can't see to read much on the phone, I need bigger letters. Quote
Members David8386 Posted December 7, 2012 Members Report Posted December 7, 2012 I think you will have to put them on a computer and resize them smaller or it will not let you load them. David Quote
Members jkwparrott Posted December 7, 2012 Members Report Posted December 7, 2012 I agree. I have been playing around with my Droid and cannot post pictures from it. Quote

Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted December 7, 2012 Ambassador Report Posted December 7, 2012 Maybe if you post your pics to Facebook, then you should be able to post a link to them through this site....just a thought.

Members Spincycle Posted December 8, 2012 Members Report Posted December 8, 2012 Not sure about droids but I haven't viewed this forum on anything but my iPhone. Here's what I do to post pics. I use the Photobucket app. The Photobucket account is free. 1)Take pic with phone. 2)Upload pic to Photobucket app. 3)Select photo in app and copy image code. 4)Paste code directly into post. That's it. I do that for the other forums I'm on as we'll. Quote www.uncommonbicycleparts.weebly.com
Members Blackie Posted December 8, 2012 Author Members Report Posted December 8, 2012 Beaverslayer, thanks but I'm not a Facebook kinda guy. Spincycle, looks like im getting a photobucket acct. I have already tried this with flickr , just opened that acct yesterday but it didnt work. Thanks all! Quote
Members shtoink Posted December 8, 2012 Members Report Posted December 8, 2012 I use the photobucket route, too. The nice thing with photobucket is being about to edit photos through the web based editor. There's a simplified version, but towards the bottom is a link to opt for the more advanced editor. I have not tried to use the web based editor through the browser on the phone, but once you've gotten uploaded you can easily edit, resize, and manipulate the image to your heart's content before generating the links for the images. The interesting thing is that the web based editor is actually a freely available (and full featured pay version) app for the iPhone called Pixlr by AutoDesk. I can't speak for any sort of availability on android, but there are a few alternatives to aid in any editing and resizing needs you might need. PhotoShop Express is free and has a decent set of features, is one that comes to mind. I would recommend at least resizing the images before uploading them, since straight from the phone they can be particularly large depending on the options you have set for your camera. File size and image dimensions, both. I do want to say that photobucket is working on a new layout for the website and it leaves a few features behind. Unless I missed it, one of those features is the option to select which photos in a current album you wish to have it generate link codes for you to post or link to. As mush as I like to newer style layout, I am still using the older style so that I still have access to that feature. It is possible that I am overlooking where this feature is in the new layout, as it is quite different from the older style. If someone knows for sure on this, please don't hesitate to say something.
