Hello Susan,
Getting your images stored where you can use them requires some equipment. I used both a digital camera and a scanner.
When setting up your pictures for the digital camera they need to be as
straight as possible. Upload your pictures from the camera to your
computer. I used a numbering systerm for my Images R001, R002, etc.
Then I have a notebook where they are named.
Once you have your images on your computer you can use the software
that came with your camera or your scanner to trim and size you
pictures. Excess needs to be trimmed from the photographs. My artwork
varies from 5x7 to 18x20 but my images on the computer are only stored
in two sizes. I experimented untill I found a size I liked for
portrat(vertical) and landscape (horizontal) layouts.
You can resize and decrease pixals here.

I played with it a little as it has been a long time since I went on
line to do this and I had to find you a site. I went to 40% and did not
see a change in picture quality.
Now, your pictures are the size you want. They are stored on your computer.
I use my ArtisticRose.ws web site to store my images on line. You
really need some web space. Upload your pictures. When you get them on
line, right click on a picture. Click on Properties. Copy the location
of the picture.
In your post click on the Insert image button. It looks like mountains
and the sun. A grey box pops up. Paste the address of you picture. Make
sure you do not get two http:// as it is already there. Click O.K.
Your image should appear in your post.
This did not work for me in the setup for the forum. I had to
delete my original post and add a new thread after the forum was
listed. The software in the forum setup seem to need to catch up to the
rest of the new stuff.
This is great, being able to show my work. I hope this helps the rest of you.
Rose
