Image Size.

• When up loading digital images you must first reduce the size of the image.
• Most digital cameras today shoot images at 3,000 to 30,000 kb.
• To get you picture on tunabite.com without an attachment you must reduce the size to less than
  1502400 bytes. The maximum width for an image is 800 pixels.
• A much better size is around 600 pixels wide with a total size of not more than 600 kb of memory used.
• The above logo in jpg format is 538 pixels wide by 308 pixels tall. The total memory usage is 487 kb.
  A full color photo in jpg format this size would use around 600 kb.
• All images must first be saved in bmp, gif, jpg, jpeg, png, txt or zip format. Since bmp is to large, png is un-common,
  text is to confusing and zip requires an additional program to open, use jpg or gif for all your images.
  Gif is only 256 colors so it only works well with drawings. Use jpg or jpeg!

Reducing Image Size.

Almost all digital cameras come with a photo editing program. It is recommended that you install it and learn how to use it.
If you are using windows XP you have a photo editing program built in. This program contains all the basic tools needed
for editing a photo to place on the web. To reduce size with Windows XP:

• First create your image and save it to a location where you can find it. If you know where the camera saves it, that will do.
• Next, click-start, click-all programs, click-accessories, click-imaging, click-file, click open. In the top box where it says
  look in, you will most likely see my documents. On the right there is a small down arrow. Use this arrow to select the
  folder where your image is. Than in the main box below, find you image and double click it.
• Now that your image is open, you can click-file, click-properties. this will show you the current size of your image.
• To change the size of the image, look to the right in the second row from the top. At the end you will see a box with
  a small down arrow. Click on the arrow and choose 50% for half as large, 25% for 1/4 as large.
• After choosing the size, click save as. It is usually best to save as a different name so you can get the old image back
  if needed. To save as a different name just add a letter or a number before the .jpg. Example original image is
  fish.jpg, new image is fish1.jpg.
• Now open the new image as above and check the properties. Note size does not change until you save.
• Try this and try the other options until you get a basic understanding of the photo edited. remember, as long
  as you save in a different name, you can always go back and start again with the original image.

Posting Your Image.

• The easiest way is to just click the browse button below your text posting box. Locate the image in the same manner as
  above, double click on the image file and it will post in the attachment box. click send and your done.
• To post more than one image in a post, you must first host the images as explained in the video how to page. Once
  hosted, you can click the white box with the 3 colored balls. This will open a web browser window where you can
  past the image location. This will also work with images found on the web.

Posting A Web image.

• Right click on the image you want to steal (note, it is your responsibility to check copyright, your libel, tunabite is not responsible for what you post). Choose properties, copy the image code/address.
• At tunabite.com, click the white box with the 3 colored balls as above and paste the code.
