: Hi Kent

: I don't think this is a password problem. I haven't been able to open ANY
: Geocities photos in the past couple of weeks. I haven't seen any of Davids
: pictures. Others have used it in the past and no problems. Just in the
: past week or so.

: Photopoint just changed their site a little as well, but mostly in the
: arrangement of their page. But, I was out at David Barrett's last night
: trying to show him how to use it and we couldn't get it to work properly
: on his system and it works fine on mine. Same techniques, same process. He
: was getting his final pictures in a size that wouldn't fit on the KBB.
: Like the pictures that I think Pete Rudie put up a week or so ago. Some
: just plain wouldn't come up as they were way to big . Thus, the little red
: X. ??? I don't know enough about these things to figure it out, but, it
: seems to be a difference in personal systems. Something in the settings
: for their picture files. ???

: I've gotten help from Ross Leidy on this, so, just maybe he can give some
: enlightenment on the subject, or maybe others out there with more
: expertise.

I'm no expert on picture posting and I just stumble around doing different things. My pictures I send to PhotoPoint are huge files most of the time but PhotoPoint converts them down into JPEG files automatically, I think. Also, there is a free down load of an editor called "E-view" that you can do a search and probably find. I have it on my desktop and I will drop a picture file on it and then edit it into a JPEG file, and change the size of the picture, and it will do a few other things but won't crop. I also have PhotoDelux 2, I got from E-bay for a few bucks, that will do a lot of editing and special effects on your pictures. I some times use this before I send the picture to PhotoPoint. And you can do a lot of editing at PhotoPoint itself. If I can figure out how to use my scanner, which is collecting dust, I will post the plans to build a kayak carrying yoke that Ken Sutherland was kind enough to send me from Canada.
