G'Day Folks

As some of you would be aware I scribble a few words every now and
then for a couple of publications including the International Auster
Club and Rag and Tube (the magazine of the Antique Aircraft
Association of Australia). Occasionally I even drop some of the yarns
into this newsgroup .

I now have a digital camera that take images of around 2MB (Its a 5
Megathingy camera).

Problem: I need to show various editors what images I have available
for them to illustrate the story. Instead of downsizing the raw images
and emailing them (a tedious procedure, but necessary as the email
systems choke if I try to send the full images), I'd rather load them
to a website and allow the editors to select the ones they want. Then
I could just send them the ones they select. If the editors could
also download them direct from the website that would be an
advantage.

Get yourself irfanview (an image handling program).

Simply, you can do this:
- Set all your images into a directory
- Open one of the images in Irfanview
- 'File - Thumbnails' to be showing thumbnails of the directory
- Highlight all thumbnails, then 'File - Save selected thumbnails as a
HTML page'

You can then upload the images, thumbnails, and html page to your
website and away you go. It does something like
www.hennell.com.au/junee/ Not the prettiest of solutions, but fast and
works.. and should do what you're after.

Irfanview will also let you do things like adjust
colour/contrast/brightness settings, resize (or batch resize) images,
etc. I find it indispensable.

Cheers,
Andrew

Coop I use Photoshop it has a function that reduces the images and makes
html pages.

Coop, since digital cameras have become common as mud, amateur
photographers have created a need for a way to share photos over the
internet. There are hundreds of programs that can do what you need
and, as a bonus, some of the best ones are freeware or open source.

As well as the suggestions you've already been given, google for
something like "photo album software" or similar. There are hundreds
of photo album creator programs around nowadays. Most of them have a
feature that lets you upload the album to a website, generating the
HTML, thumbnail images, and main images all in one package.

their webpage stuff :)
