artwoman2 - 2012-06-14 10:44 AM I use Picassa3 to store photos of my paintings but cannot upload a cropped photo to the Gallery. When I try to upload the cropped image, the original image comes up, warts and all. Can anyone help please?You need to "Compress them for a web-page" My most recent image posted...the sunset...is 2.43Mb... The compressed image posted here on POL is 76.8Kb... Images above 1,000Kb/1Mb often fail to load to POL... Cropping only tidies-up the edges...

I suppose I could ask the obvious question..........not wishing to insult your intelligence. Having cropped the picture - you do save it? And - do you save it under a new name, So that, when you upload to the web, you can identify the right file?
And yes, mels right, picassa will allow you to "export" a compressed picture, so th efile is smaller for uploading to the web.

I save my high resolution [big JPEG files] Images of a the completed work of art, those I use for my business as 'MeltemiArt'...
I save those lower resolution [smaller JPG files] as 'WebPageArt'...
It needs to be clear at the single glance [difficult for me] that I'm in the right file etc.
there is a third file of 'CatalogueImages' that give the postage-stamp image for the Studio.Catalogue.
And the sensible thing is to have these files updated regularly and backed-up on an external storage device....I nearly lost them all when the last computer [Maybellene1] commited terminal suicide.

Well..In the " Race to the Stars" I shall add....I crop my work in Picasa 3, then straightaway go 'Save As' from Picasa's 'File' and save the cropped version to a file I have called 'My Paintings' , which I keep on the Desktop. So far the only difficulty I have had has been when I have included an inadmissable symbol to the title; easily overcome..re-think the title.
