| Subject: | Photo Posting Enabled on RV6-List... |
RV6 Listers,
As of this morning, I have enabled limited posting of various picture
formats to the RV6-List. Extensions allowed include: jpg, gif, bmp,
txt, xls, pdf, and doc. Generally, these are all pretty safe and
don't carry viruses of any kind.
A word of caution when posting pictures, however. Double check the
size of the pictures you are posting. This includes both the picture
dimensions (X x Y) but also the total filesize (MB). If you take
pictures right out of your digital camera, it is likely they will be
on the order of 1-4MB each. If you post 10, 3MB photos to the List,
you will be sending 30MB plus encoding (usually a 1.5x gain in size)
to the list, that will have to be redistributed to all members on the
list. That can be a lot of data!
Use a program like Photoshop to reduce the dimensions of the photo to
something on the order of 640x480 and use medium or better
compression when saving the file so that each picture is roughly 50k
to 100k in size.
Let me know what you think of this addition to the
RV6-List. Remember that the PhotoShare is also still available and
generally the best way to share photos of an archival nature.
