Street And Road Shots Anywhwere In Thailand!

I use a free program called Faststone (there are many others too) to resize all my photos in a batch before posting to Flickr and then I can post easilyfrom there to Thaivisa. I too like large photos, but not when they spoil enjoyment for others, so I keep large originals on my system after posting the reduced-size ones.

I hope that this helps you to comply with Thai visa without causing you undue stress or inconvenience. It really is so easy to do.

I also try to always leave a blank line or two below any I might make in a post (comment or title of the photo), so that no text can possibly throw the photo further to the right (ie off the screen)....or vice versa

Thank you to everybody with your kind answer about what to do ;

I didn't saw I can send differents sizes using Flickr ;

I have ten differents choices from

Carre 75 x 75 to original size which can be 1200 x 900 or more until a genuine RAW shot ...

But I don't shot in that format because I don't know how to use Photoshop or similar programes.

so I can upload original RAW pictures on Flickr and choose a little carre 75 x 75 if I want or need for example here on ThaiVisa .

Now, I know I can upload a 800 x 535 ; so I will do .

Party at a sister in-laws place today.Fortunately we arrived a liitle bit late (10-30am) or I could have finished up in the same state as some of the people here.I also have to thank my wife for suggesting we go home after I had consumed 2 king browns of Chang before 12.

Peau Yai Mek ( I think that's how you schpell it,hic)

Organizing the sound system.The Lao Kaow was definately having some effect because after 3 sound systems and at least 6 people pulling wires out and poking them in some other place all this being done at the same time.I just stood back and watched,it was hilarious.I could see at a distance what was wrong but wouldn't step in.Talk about too many cooks,it still hadn't been sorted out when we left.

@ DAL...Your post #3357...Interesting shot especially with the

guy on the bike in the background. Next time try and get a

bit tighter on the main subject (flute man) and it will be a much

better picture. Don't be shy to get closer...perhaps drop a few

Baht into his bucket too! He won't mind... Or try a crop with

the pic you have...

INTERESTING...Now is the time; It's the flutey-man, sunshine. He's not in it for the money. Ironed clothes/clean finger nails,shiny sandals etc, etc,etc.. One of my best/easy subjects, so far because he was NOT afraid of the camera^ ^.

Thanks, sunshine, I always read your advice and colourful comments with interest and joy. I tried B&W first but he comes out much better in colour on second thought.

[edit]@Ron, I like the first picture you took from the table. Although your images appear very/too yellow/orange many times, like here...

Tyways had written :

" to no more than 1024 pixels wide. 800 wide is pretty optimum for the vast majority of browsers/monitors. "

I have an old desk computer; it is nearly 10 years old ; and my monitor is a 22" wide ;

I know many people have wider monitors than mine .

I think Tyways wrote that when the biggest Monitor were 17 " wide;

I had one like that in 1992 ...

I think a photo 800 wide isn't beautiful ;

I resized mine 1200 x 900 and sometimes 1500 x 1125

Never mind about the " like this "

It wasn't an arbitrary number nor based on old information. I used statistics from a site on monitor resolutions based on percentage of visitors. 1366x768 is the predominant resolution. Add in the right and left borders of the forum page and you have reduced the viewable image size even more so 1024 is a safe bet. Firefox unfortunately doesn't autosize images on Thaivisa even though it is supposed to and appears a conflict somewhere in the forum software and images. Chrome autosizes correctly.

Thank you Tyways for your answer; As I am a fool about computer things even I use one since nearly 25 years...I " understand quickly nut I need more and more explanations

Oh that's interesting about chrome, resizing, I have been using that a bit lately, generally I don't really like it!.... Although were I been experimenting with the HDR effect... but there is good and bad with everything, I still prefer F. Fox.!

The problem is (at least in Firefox,) I have thousands of images uploaded to Picasa, I am sure many do.... mostly at 1024, with Google Plus which I accidentally turned on some time ago, will not allow to go back to Picasa and resize the image if too large to make it say 800 x ... it means finding the original files, and then reloading to Picasa, ....up after sizing in Lightroom... That ain't going to happen! It would just take too long... years of images are uploaded... it would take years to redo! Sometimes too, with Chrome, I get that annoying, "you can't use that external link" or some thing that that, I've seen a few others mention that also!

I guess we should have started a new discussion on this!

Oh well here's a pic so not just for reading!

SJ...DxO Optics Pro is very good SW. Not everybody likes Adobe or uses it and

DxO is a fantastic alternative. I like the ability to freely download their plugins

for various camera bodies and lenses(about all that are made-bodies & lenses).

Version 10 is 64 bit only then again there is no excuse not to have a 64 bit PC

these days. As for myself, I played around with version 9 and purchased version

10 just a couple months ago. I like it a lot. That said I also have LR 5.7.1 too (64 bit)

& PS-CS6 (64bit). Bit over the top as far as SW is concerned when one will do just fine

but I like a choice when I want that choice. DxO is good stuff...try a demo version

yourself & see. It's easy to use.

Thanks Sunshine, I will take a boo, but changing programs is always a new learning curve .... I have tried several over the years....

I am getting more used to LR, but there are still things in there that are not user friendly.... not to me anyway!

Picasa without Google Plus, has served well, for many years.... one of the best all round free programs and storage areas, there is....IMO...

It never seems to run out of free space!! I like "free! "

There are many photos I have lost over the years with hard drives and backup drives "going south" ... if I had uploaded all to PIcasa, I would still have them!

I just cannot get into using Flicker, even though I have an account with them! I know some guys like using it here....

Now what topic are we on?

Oh yes, streets.... fixin the street or the drainage at least!

I just tried an experiment to see if chrome down sizes for posting I just tried a 1600 x 1200, it showed up here at full size so I deleted it ! So much for that!

While I am "chatting" I have asked Oilinki to remove the images that are now showing as blanks....I am still not sure, what caused that to happen, tedious work, for him or any mod to do...

So it may take some time for that to happen!

Happy New Year, everyone!

Jim

^^^ SJ....

I was a die hard PS user for many years and the only additions other than a few nifty plugins

were Adobe's Camera Raw (whatever was the latest) and their DNG converter. When LR

first hit the scene I didn't even give it a passing glance as I thought it was just like ACDSee

which I love to use for file management...even today. Then I began to see some LR antics

with pix & went...Hmmmmmmm...maybe I'll give it a try. The rest is history and so is the $$$

to upgrade LR & PS over the years! That's the catch eh. Then a few years ago I began to

hear about this DxO software...initially thinking it was for DX format and shrugging it off.

But it wasn't only for DX...and I saw some colleagues work with it/from it and I was pretty

impressed at what the SW did. So I eventually gave versions 8 & 9 a tryout and really

liked what it does...so I bought v10. More $$$ sure...but since I'm pleased with it the

$$$ were well spent. As I mentioned before I really like the ability to install lens plugins

for free....yeah...I like free stuff too...we all do...especially if it's useful free stuff!

DxO seems to have the lens algorithms suitcased and it really shows when you work

a pic. Anyway I agree that LR has some quirks in it that are hard to learn/implement

and to remedy that it takes time....lots of time! Or not so much depending on your

work load at the end of the day. There's good SW out there...I just wish that some

bright individual would come up with a PS/LR/DxO replacment that is open source

and does what those do & perhaps better. Now that would be a nifty freebe to have

eh?!

Happy New Year in advance!

I did download the DxO and gave it a quick try, this morning, it mucho $$$ 99.00 I think it was... LR5 is cheaper ... money is a object...

I think I am just going to have to use the LR more and get used to the quirks!

Seems to have some of the same features of LR... except every thing in reverse, like Windooze compared to Mac!

I used to use ACDsee too, in my PC days, but they have not come up with a good Mac version, last time I tried it was very slow to respond to editing...

Well we'll see how it goes.... thanks a bunch for the suggestion anyway...

[Dancealot]

I like that we're talking about improving. It keeps things more interesting, guys.

Although I feel blessed, I still feared I would get bored of these threads at some point....

Perhaps this duality will change..

[Rob8891]

^^ The answer is to concentrate on those that interest you most, or those that lead you to improve certain aspects of your photography DAL. That is what I do. Some threads are, IMHO threadbare, so I ignore them and derive my pleasure from the former group. One cannot be all things to all men.

And I like it that we are back to posting photos again..... D'oh
