- Which image formats are suitable for the Internet?
- Where to store the images online?
One of the most popular image formats for the computers is the Joint Photographic Experts Group or JPEG. Many pictures from digital cameras are JPEG files. They are suitable for compression and upload. So, you could easily share the images from your camera or your computer with other people, if you publish them on the Internet.
1. You could send the files via the Inernet if you attach them to the e-mail. When you are writing your e-mail, look for a button "attach files". When the menu appears, click “browse” and select the JPEG files on your computer which you want to upload. Remember, it will now take longer to send your e-mail.
2. Use a free online service to store your files. There are many websites where you could upload your photos for free, for example Photobucket, ImageShack and Picasaweb. Flickr.com is also one of the popular services, but you can only upload there up to a certain file size, if you are using a free account. If you pay for the service, you can upload more images and the bigger images equivalent up to one gigabyte. Photowebsites are a useful way to learn the photo technique, while you could comment on the other people’s photos and discuss them. To use these websites, you need to sign up with your e-mail account, create a password and a user account. Some of the websites become owners of your images, which you upload there. It might be not in your interest as an artist or photographer. So, you should read the “Terms of Service” first to see the rules of the website where you are going to present your photos.
3. You could also send your images through a chat program. In many chat programs (such as AIM, and Yahoo! Messenger) you could show a picture to a person you are talking to. Most of the time, you will see a small button in your chat window that looks like a picture. Click on it and share the file with your friend.
If your file is too big, many websites will resize it to an adequate file size. Sending through the e-mail won't resize it, and the larger the file is, the longer it takes to send and receive it. Consider that some people have electronic mailboxes that are of a certain size, and a large file might just fill them up.4. You could also upload your images and share them with your friends through the social network.
