I have to change my pics to Jpeg to upload them,i forgot about that and spent 48 hours scratching my head last time :(
Anyway ive been using realconvertor but it looks like my freebies have run out.
How do you guys do it?
-
what format are they?
anyhoos open in windows PAINT, then "save as" (2 boxes appear) top is title/name of pic, bottom is what format = .jpg
-
Hmm they are in Jpeg and i have to convert them to jpg,anyhow will use paint in future cheers RM
-
if on your PC you have see file extentions like i do (need to turn it on) you can just right click on file anywhere and change the .ext to what you want...
mypic.png to mypic.jpg
just edit after . dot .
if you dont have see .ext's turned on you only see "mypic"
-
Paul ... I've never tried it, but are you sure just changing the extension changes the format? I can see it working for .jpg and .jpeg as I think they are effectively the same format ... I could be wrong though!
Keith ... The wiki should upload the following formats: png, gif, jpg, jpeg and cdr. so your files should upload, assuming that's what you are wanting to do.
If you need other formats, Tony can add them, don't think I can. I may be best to avoid .bmp as I think the file sizes can be rather large.

Just wont upload what ive got,which ive just double checked in properties and is defo jpeg,anyway changing it is not a problem if i can use paint,its more than likely me but if i start trying to change anything else i will bugger something up

kieth

-
Nope every pic ive ever uploaded has had to be changed,as i said in the couple of months between the 1st one and the second i spent 2 days failing to upload until i remember i had to change them

Paul's right pdfs won't load to the wiki.
Other problems in the past might be that the files are too large. Max size is 2MB.
If you are taking new photos, try reducing the resolution or size on the camera.
For existing photo MS paint will resize photos via Image, then Attributes. You can only change the size and by the looks of it, it won't automatically keep the height/width ratio the same. So you need to do a quick calculation to ensure that you maintain the aspect ratio.

What i sent you was nothing to do with this conversation,it was to do with the dispenser so you could visualise the set up

Hey guys if there are any file formats that you think would be useful, it's easy enough to add them to the allowable formats list (and up the size limit if that's an issue)?
-
What about just a seperate thread where we can stick up any old pic and others can use them if required?
ie

but obviously bio/wvo related
