OK, getting there.

[elleng]

bought the Samsung Galaxy camera today, and trying to figure out how to use it. Samsung 'teacher,' not the guy who sold it to me, nice guy wasn't a very good teacher. He did e.mail me the Samsung User Manual. I'm returning there in the morning, when a different Samsung 'teacher' will be there.

Please tell me how y'all post pics here! It seems easier to post pics to facebook, and I actually sent an e.mail pic, but DO need info on posting pics here. Going to cottage tomorrow, and want to get pics there!!!

THX!

1. To post pictures here, you'll need a photo hosting site, like Photobucket.

I like it fine, but some folks don't, so maybe wait and try something else.

You don't need a photo hosting site on Facebook...it's cool!

Good luck and have fun!

[elleng]

3. Can't wait for y'all to see cottage pics!

HOPING it works, and I get a nice sundown tomorrow, CalPeg!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. And I can't wait to see them either!

6. Allegedly 'partly cloudy' tomorrow,

AM showers Saturday, 'mostly cloudy' Sunday, so who knows! I spend much of my time trying to figure out where I'll be when, depending on weather forecasts!

2. Post to Facebook, then click on the image to expand it.

Right click and select Copy Image URL. Then come here and right click and paste.

5. Thanks, Alfredo.

If I don't want always to use FB to post at DU, you suggest???

P.S., Did look at your suggestions, like the Canon, but decided (if you can call it that!) on the Samsung. Thanks for your help!

8. Thanks, handmade.

Flickr OK???

9. I have never tried it but many like it

I use Photobucket and I am just too busy (or lazy) to try another… either works

21. I use Flickr, but copying images is not intuitive. Here's how I do it in Flickr.

I clicked on the image I want to share. It will open with a black background. At the bottom right you will see three white dots. Tap that and you will see a list of options. Select "view all sizes." Your image will appear. Now right click it and copy the image URL.

Go to this link and find the below image and test what I wrote above. http://www.flickr.com/photos/alfredo_tomato/

10. Camera specs aren't the only reason to buy. The Samsung looks easier to hold,

and for me that is a plus. Samsung makes a nice line of cameras. I'd love to have the Samsung NX 300. It's beautiful.

[elleng]

11. Yes, that's one reason I selected this one,

and the smaller less expensive one not so easy to handle.
Mine is white.

12. Be sure to show us some samples once you get comfortable with the camera

[elleng]

13. I will. Hope it doesn't take too long!

[alfredo]

14. Just go out and take a bunch of photos, it will happen.

[elleng]

15. Leaving for 2d lesson from Samsung soon,

then for cottage, alfredo. Stay tuned!!!

[alfredo]

18. Enjoy your new toy.

17. Didn't see 'Copy Image,' but pasted URL,

and LINK posted here, post # 16, not the pic itself, which was a 'sample' pic at the store.

That what you meant? Hoping for actual pics to show up, as when post jpeg. Do I have to do photobucket/flickr, etc for that result???

19. Are you on a Mac or PC. I haven't used a PC since 2001 so I am rusty when it comes to

the Microsoft way.

In Windows:

On OSx:

20. PC.

I've never used a Mac. I know how to copy and paste, but WHAT's being copied appears to affect what one gets finally.

OK, gotta get outta here to have SOME sun when I get to cottage!

22. Sometimes the image you see on facebook and other sites won't give you the image URL.

That's why you have to first expand it by clicking it.
