Photo Tips ~ Include a photo with your profile!
Many are reluctant to contact members without photos.

1. Obtaining Photos

Upload up to 24 photos, up to 5MB* each. (Dialup users may need to resize their photos. See Photo Resizing below.)
Need Digital?
		Ask a friend with a digital camera to take your photo.
		Ask for a CD next time you develop your film.
		Scan your paper photos. Kinkos and others rent scanner use by the hour.

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. The free Microsoft Image Resizer is easy!

Obtain the Microsoft Image Resizer tool for Windows here and install it.
Once installed, right click the photo and click Resize Picture, selecting Small.

The smaller copy will be saved as OriginalName (Small).jpg - upload this resized copy, not the original!

More detailed instructions may be found here.

For more editing functions, such as cropping and rotating, we recommend Photo Plus or FastStone Image Viewer, both free.

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.

To add photos to your Gallery:

1	Use the Browse... button (or Choose File button if you're using Safari) to locate the photo in your computer.
2	Click Add Photo.
