Hi everyone,
Im a newbie.. and recently got back from 2 months work in Zambia where I had the opportunity practice wildlife photography. I'm not hugely technical so really looking forward to advice and comments.
Thanks
Lucy
 
Thank you for the welcome!
Just having some issues compressing jpegs - but after that Il post some pictures!
Does anyone know the easiest way to do this, my files are huge at the moment and I dont yet have any fancy software for editing.
Thank you
Lucy
 
Lucy I started with Picasa - its free, can do really basic editing and you can export and resize if you want to have smaller files for posting to web etc.

I'm sure there are maybe other better sites/software but that's what I started with and found it really easy to use.
 
Thank you so much
Just finished the download!
 
You don't need to upload anything to Picasa once you've downloaded it, just add your existing folders to it and it will show your images.

For speedy resize to web etc I used 'Export Picture to folder' in the file dropdown menu - I think it defaults to a 'Picasa Exports' folder with subfolders of the same name as the one you are exporting from and you can select the resize you want (I usually used 800pixels as that seems a good size for uploading to websites).

I no longer use this method as I use Lightroom 3 now, but its how I started while I was deciding what editing software to use.
 
Thank you Lynn for the advise. With your help I have downloaded picasa and even put some of my photos on the forum!

Hello Pete and thank you for the warm welcome!
