A few thoughts on approving photos

[Quinno]

if anybody does'nt like these photos then go ahead and delete them.

No deletion, just suppression from showing on main page

Nope, a passenger

Thanks Rex - it was a bit of a tongue-in-cheek request anyway.

I did think that. But obviously I tried it to see if there were any embonpointment improvements!

I had to look that up!

I just did what I always do when talking to Rex..........pretend to know what he's on about!

One of the pictures of this pub needs rotating through 90 degrees to the right, something that can easily be achieved with the humble MS Paint that comes as part of the MS accessories with Windows.
I wonder how many people use a graphics editing program on their pictures before uploading them. I use an old version of Paintshop Pro that I know my way around but I'm not an expert with.
Even using just MS Paint it's possible to trim a picture.
I'm hopeless at taking Portrait oriented pics that are at the correct angle and these are easily adjusted with Paintshop (providing they are not too extreme!).

Indeed it is easy via paint. I don't do anything other than rotate portrait pics so they appear the correct way.

I also quite like the pubs galore running up the side.

I don't understand that, to take a portrait pic I have to hold the camera so that the picture in the viewfinder is vertical. I can't get on with that display on the back of the thing. Do you use Paint to trim the pictures as well?

On Windows 7 you can edit via Windows Live Photo Gallery. Very simple to use and a bit of manipulation of contrast can turn a fairly dark and dull picture into a quite acceptable one. Also you can rotate subtly etc. I always touch mine up a bit, well-worth the effort.
