I have been trying to post a picture for over a month and it still won't work. It's not like I have not done this before. I select the pix but they are not uploading to the site, any ideas.
Josh, the pictures are not uploading to this site or to the image hosting site?
I can guide you how to use Flickr, are your pictures uploaded to flickr yet?
Josh, I've been using Photo and Picture Resizer from my phone with no issues.
I believe John K. recommended that site.
The screen comes up, I select my pix and nothing happens. The pictures show as selected but nothing happens. Have tried on and off for a while now, still nothing.
Sorry, I do have pix uploaded to a flickr account but have not been able to figure out how to get them from there to here?
Is this an app?
yes.
oh, ok. I just take the pics with my phone, resize them smaller and am able to post.
Posting Pics
I don't find any instructions on the DC4 site describing how to post photos of one's models. I am not very intuitive when it comes to computer technologies and I don't want to pay for a photo posting service.
Have you tried with your phone? That's what I use.
Josh, go to Flickr ...
... find the picture you want to post.
In the bottom right corner there are 5 icons, click on the 4th one - "Download this photo".
A popup menu will list selections. Select "View all sizes". The default picture on the screen is "Large 1024". Right click "Copy image address". Then simply paste it here, it is a link to the photo, not the actual photo. I use Chrome browser, I don't think Edge has the same functionality. If this doesn't work for whatever reason, there is a second way of creating the link. Let me know ...
Credit for this way, which is the simplest, goes to John Merrit.
There is a significant difference in the longevity of your photos ...
... when uploading photos to this site versus using links from outside hosting sites.
When uploading photos here, they will be kept for 3 months then deleted.
When using links, the photos will exist until your image hosting account exists, making this way superior.
Flickr is free and photos live longer, but uploading from your computer/phone is also an option.
Wow have only used photobucket before, Flickr seems much better, thanks so much.
Posting Pics
I can take a picture with my phone and e-mail it to myself or another person, or save it on my desktop, but I have been unable to get it into a posting on the DC4. I am sure it is simple once learned, but I am missing a step somewhere.
