You use the "Upload Attachment" button to load your picture (jpg type file) from your computer to the classicwatch site. Follow the instructions there. There is a limit on how large the picture file can be. | |||

Thanks for the answer. The limit is there because these images are saved on my server. If everyone uploaded 10 Mb files each time we'd quickly run out of space. | |||

Hi B, the file needs to be a .jpg to begin with. What type of file are you trying to upload, what is it called? | |||
| Bombardier Junior Member Username: Bombardier Post Number: 38 Registered: 08-2009 Rating: N/A |
My camera gives me a choice of three JPG settings: Fine, standard and basic. Which shall I choose? | |||
| Zaf Moderator Username: Zaf Post Number: 4229 Registered: 05-2003 Rating: N/A |
Try basic. Your camera should also have a resolution setting, for the purposes of the forum, lower is better. | |||

I have been using RAW. Is that the ptoblem? | |||

When I shoot a watch and load it into my computer there is no URL (http://www) attached to it. Why is that? | |||
| Zaf Moderator Username: Zaf Post Number: 4230 Registered: 05-2003 Rating: N/A |
Definitely. RAW is the most "raw" picture format (hence it's name) and will produce enormous file sizes. Switch it to .jpg. Unless you're a professional photo guy, you won't notice that much difference anyways. | |||

When you save a photo to your computer it's saved as a file. A URL is a location of a site somewhere else (i.e. not on your computer). So, what you're looking to do, is take a photo, save it as a .jpg somewhere on your computer, then using the "Upload Attachment" button, you can upload the picture from your computer to the forum. | |||

I tried again, (sigh) | |||
| Zaf Moderator Username: Zaf Post Number: 4235 Registered: 05-2003 Rating: N/A |
It has to be a file that ends with .jpg if you want just email me your photo and I will upload it. | |||

You should be trying to upload bob.jpg, not bob.htm. bob.jog is the picture, bob.htm is the web page which the picture is located. | |||

I was wondering what this picture was so here's bob.jpg from the page: artkramer.blackapplehost.com/Bob.htm. As zaf stated, just upload the jpeg picture file bob.jpg  |
