Thanks again for the above comments (although Indi, I'm not quite ready to give up my day job, the pay and the hours are better LOL
). We really hope that this has simplified the process and will encourage more people to have a go at posting photos for restoration, and by all means, ask anyone of the restorers for help. We are more than happy to oblige.
Hi Michael, I thought I'd give you a quick response on how I did it in case anybody else was interested, I should have said "for those that are interested"
...Offer still stands though to those that would like to know more detail.
Hi LJ
I knew the resizing part would be the most painful bit, but I guess the main point is explaining what we mean by resizing, ie not changing the physical dimensions of the image but the actual saved size of the document to 500kb to allow for posting. There are a couple of alternatives if anyone is having problems resizing, as mentioned in the tut 1) you can email the large file to a restorer who can post it on your behalf, or 2) email some printscreens of your software and we will endeavour to tell you where to find it so you can do it yourself.
Hi Marleyman
Thank you for your kind offer, but I see Deadants has also very kindly made my tut a permanent posting at the top of the restorers board, which is probably preferable as with each new posting, your posting will be pushed down the page until it will eventually be lost down the track. But thanks again for the offer.
Hi Debbie
Glad you found the tut useful.
I should have also put in the tut that each and every photo posted must have a unique name as well as being under 500kb.
Now I'm going to get back to doing what I like best...haven't done a restore in days...I'm getting withdrawal symptoms !!!!!
