I just bought my first digital camera. (Canon Power Shot 610) I've been playing around with it. I'm Very impressed with ALL the stuff it can do. I loaded the software that came with it into my very nice computer. I was able to transfer a picture from the camera to the computer. Now I want to transfer a picture to a post on this forum as a "thumbnail"... Is that the right term? How do I do that?? I've snooped all over this board for info on how to do this without any positive results. I started with computers Late in life. :lookaroun

So the keys are:
1) Don't upload a monster file (try to keep it under a couple of hundred K)
2) Know the name of your file and where on your computer it's located.
3) SHOW US YOUR PICS!!

Have at it, Phil

Thanks Phil. I wrote down your instructions to the letter. Later on I'll see if I can PRINT your post. I'll post a picture when I have something that might be of interest to those on the forum. John :lookaroun
