Posting photos and other photo questions

Post by ATR84 » Wed Jun 05, 2019 8:41 am

Hi All,

I take all my pictures on my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, the pictures it takes are good enough quality for me. I also have Amazon Prime, so I get free photo storage with Amazon, so all my photos are also automatically backed up to there.

The problem comes when I want to post anything up on here, this forum needs you to have the image hosted somewhere public like photobucket, the problem is, photobucket has stopped working for me recently. I have tried Imgur, but the photos have loads of other rubbish surrounding them, please see last post here for an example: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=22358&start=40

What is the best way to share photos on this site? What do other people do?

Also, I notice that sometimes I am having to compress photos before posting because they are too large, my camera often takes photos between 5mb and 8mb in size. What is the best way to handle this without losing image quality?

This doesn't seem a problem on places like Facebook and WhatsApp as I assume some kind of automatic compression is happening?

If anyone has any advice or pointers it would be much appreciated :D

I use Imgur and find it easy to post from my desktop. An adblocker ensures that the clutter is minimal.
