Photo Tips ~ Include a photo with your profile!
Many are reluctant to contact members
without photos.
|
| 1. Obtaining Photos |
|
|
 |
| 2. Saving photos from a web site or received via
e-mail |
|
To save a web site photo onto your
computer:
- Right click the image with your mouse and select Save
Picture as... or Save Image As...
To
save a photo received as an e-mail attachment:
- Click on the photo or attachment inside the message with the
left mouse button and keep the left mouse button pressed while
you drag the photo/attachment to your Desktop (or
inside a folder) then release the mouse button to
drop it there.
|
| 3. Photo Resizing & Editing |
For dialup users, or when an image is simply
too large, you'll need to resize your photos. These programs are available for free for Windows:
- VSO Image Resizer - a simple, easy to use, image resizer.
- Faststone Image Viewer - a complete photo editor. (Not quite as simple but it has a full array of photo editing features.) Read a review of this product here.

| 4. Adding Photos to your Gallery |
- Click My Photos (center panel, home page) or My Profile->My Photos from the top menu.
- Click Add / Remove Photos & Captions
- Select the Gallery you wish to upload your photos to by clicking
one of the tabs:
- Standard Gallery - these photos will be
visible for other members to view when they view your
profile.
- Private Gallery - these photos are private.
You must e-mail a member a "Photo Pass"
to grant them access to your Private
Gallery. (Sending a Photo Pass requires
full membership.) Learn more about the Private Gallery here.
