This comes up fairly often and so I thought I would post this here. Perhaps a mod might like to make it a "sticky" : K.

Assuming you have already uploaded the photo to flickr:

1. Go to the photo page in Flickr (the one with the comments box etc)
2. Click on the all sizes button. The image will come up full size.
3. Choose which size image you want to post (or just stick with the full size one if you want). A size about 1000 pixels across works OK.
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to the box called "Grab the photo's URL" and copy the address given in that box.
5. Come back here. Click on the Image button
6. Paste the URL between the two image tags which will have appeared in your text, i.e., between the left and right facing square brackets.
7. The image will be included in your post when you click the "Add comment" or "Add topic" button.

Bob... wouldn't it be better to draw something in Coreldraw or Adobe Illustrator and then save it as a jpg? A series of rectangles would probably do it?

I had a glance or two but now just hit the 'mark all threads as read' button. It is a shame "for better or for worse" isn't generating quite so much comment! It got off to a good start then faded away like an old Boots transparency...

Oh well, time to go home and scan some more slides!

I never cease to be amazed at how many plug-ins there are, and how much one could spend on them. I keep looking at Silver Efex Pro but haven't taken the plunge yet.

I wish someone would put that thread out of its misery. I rarely completely abandon reading threads but I have been doing my best to ignore that one.

8. Job done.

"Luck" is often an important part of a photographers tool kit!

Powerpoint is pretty much the standard program or the free Star Office version of it. Lots of bells and whistles which can all be freely ignored to create a simple basic slide show.

I don't know of a focusing aid (apart from projecting an image which has lots of detail to help focus). The main problem, especially when using a free-standing projector and screen, is getting the screen flat to the image as they tend to flop about a bit. At work we project onto a white painted wall most of the time.

The other big problems with data projectors are (a) they are relatively low resolution and (b) you have no/little control over colour. For these two reasons lecturers in art history stick to slides.

Best wishes, Kris.

I agree whole-heartedly. You clearly have a good eye for unusual angles and compositions which is worth cultivating. K.

Stunning! Perhaps ludicrously fast drive mode has some uses after all!
