~ Photography And Pictures ... (And Pictures Disappearing in this Forum?)

Glad Tidings to All. I have two good reasons to begin this Thread:

One is to discuss Photography in general. I myself am told that I am "good at it", yet I would not claim to be "Professional" at it.

I start this Thread a lot for the sake of Posting Pictures and discussing such things, if that is alright...?

My Second reason for beginning this Thread is... Pictures tend to "disappear" after a while upon this Forum...! And so this is attempt at a Thread specifically addressing Pictures Posted Here.

I shall start with at least one... of 'Interesting Cloud Formations Over Where I am' (In London):

  • Pictures I have posted here before.

    As DC says quite rightly these are pictures of socks and dusty. They visit here now and again just to say “Hi”.

    X()x

  • Hey they posted up?

    total shock.

  • and pictures should get shrunk here automatically, as part of the upload. However, if you can do it first, I would

    Regarding WebPMs reply: My own Pictures did *not* automatically get shrunk, as far as I recall. Yet, as is next advised, there, this I why I then learnt to shrink them myself, first. And then "Flatten" them. Twice.

  • I am still here, only for this Post, life is not predictable...

    I would Quote something from your Reply, Sir... yet the entire thing would make *such* good Starter for a Thread...! I really mean that, of course!

    ...To the Topic of Pictures and Picture Software... Hmmm... 

    Sometimes Paid For Programs are offered for free. Probably not ADOBE stuff, however. Try taking a Picture, Snapshotting it (ScreenShot), and "Cropping" the ScreenShot (Reducing its size). There are lots of Free Programs which allow that as a Basic Function. Then there are those new fancy "Selfie"-Oriented Programs, very many of those are about. However you managed to Post Pictures Posted thus far, then that is one way through.

    ...In closing this Post, I write a thing which I too often write, however... Can someone ELSE support me or help out, please?? (But it is the Weekend now...)

  • Thank you,

    I do not pay for anything online, I d not trust  any transaction to do with payment online.

    I am the only person where I work that is not paid digitally into an account, CASH only, although that annoys my boss a lot, I am allowed this as when I first started working there all were paid by cash, as I have never agreed to be paid via bank to bank I do not have to. All new employees do have to.

    I am old fashioned in use of data, I hear to many disaster stories of accounts being hacked, 

    Also living with cash I owe nothing, I do not have any credit, 

    my only card payment is for car insurance, other than that it never gets used,

    Modern devices are becoming such that no one gets a choice in wether to update, devices are controlling everything people do,

    My iPad is very stable apart from yesterday it couldn’t stay logged in here, blank screens appearing, typed text vanishing,often not reloading at all. I did an update tonight and it seems to be ok.

    extremely frustrating when it kept logging off and back in every few seconds.

    take care and thank you for all your advice and help.

  • i think I need an app?

    ...This is a Reply written "Live", and so, well, watch out for I what I write, sorry...!

    To manipulate pictures, I use a Laptop (Running an old version of GIMP.). I cannot do a thing upon this EReader, and must transfer things back and forth and back and forth and...

    I am scared of downloading Apps, (!) yet I would recommend "PHOTOSHOP TOUCH" for an i-anything-device. The trouble is, it costs money, and it updates itself online - hence my being scared. I have an old iPad which I never connect to this awful Internet, yet when I did, it has Photoshop Touch upon it, which is "old", but does not ask to be "updated".

    I may reply again and elsewhere later, and, of course, Thank You for the Reply.
