[WWI] Photo Transfer

[J.R. Boye]

Thanks, John;
   Actually, I can get the photo files onto the "My Pictures" area in JPEG format. My camera has a supplementary memory card, but I don't know where the photos are stored. The camera manual is too basic to help, and the Kodak support site doesn't seem to address my problems.
   I attached 5 of my photos today and sent them to my brother by e-mail and his computer said the 5 photos would take 53 minutes to download, but it could download them so maybe my files are too big for e-mail or web transfer now. Before, I thought this was a Kodak problem but maybe not now.
    I can select "email photos" from the "My Photos" tool area and it will resize them, but then the window disappears after that and I don't know where the resized photos are- no more prompts or windows appear. When I go to "My Pictures", the files are still original size and I can't find the reduction tool.
    So my photos don't seem to upload to my WWI page.
    Before this, when I was using the "Easyshare" (what a misnomer!) software to e-mail photos, Allan wrote:
    "I tried to look at the 'EZ Share' photos you sent me. While they're
viewable in my mail program, nothing I do lets me save them. The Kodak
software is doing something 'hinky' with the mime encoding in the
mailer. What you sent me is unusable. This might be the same problem the
upload is having. Can you get the photos off your camera right to your
disk without using Kodak's web stuff?"
        My son suggested that the Kodak software doesn't allow copying so professionals can show photos without them being ripped off. 
       Allan was able to copy the portrait I sent to the Rogue's gallery somehow, though, and that was from a Kodak album.
      So now I have deleted the Kodak software ( I couldn't find any other way around it) and downloaded the photos using "photo and scan wizard" I sent them to "My Pictures", then tried to e-mail them to Allan, but I did not reduce the file size (2.95 MB each). If I can figure out how to reduce the file size, I'll try e-mailing them again. None of my attempts to upload any photo from any source to my WWI web page has worked. I get the file in the browse window, click upload, it submits the request and then...nothing.
      We'll see what happens now. Suggestions are welcome. I'm not a techie, but this all seems a lot harder that it should be. Hopefully I'll get this figured out and put my stuff up on the website one of these years.....:-)

                                                                 J.R. Boye

JR,
Are the photos on a memory card or stored in the camera's internal memory.  If they are on a card, use some sort of photo program (I use the Apple I Photo) and import them to your hard drive.  From there the photo program should be able to size and also optimize them for sending as email attachments.  The MAC Mail server also has the ability to size photo (TIFF) images within the message.

I think that all the current photo archive apps and mail servers have this ability.  I may be wrong, as I haven't tried it on a PC.
