How to add pictures to LPC and other photo questions

How do I upload pics to the LPC website?
To add photos to a network, go to the Photos tab and click "Add Photos." By default, you'll be able to use the bulk uploader to add up to 100 photos at a time to the network. Please make sure your images are under 500kb in size. To re-size images, please follow the directions located below on this page.

The first time you use the uploader, you'll see a pop-up window that says "This applet was signed by Ning Inc and authenticated by VeriSign Inc. Do you trust this certificate?" Click the "Trust" button to proceed.
In the left pane, find the photos on your computer. To upload them, double click on a photo. Or, you can drag and drop a photo or a whole folder to the right pane of "Photos to Upload."
You can drag and drop the photos into the perfect order. To remove photos you've added to the right preview pane, you can drag them out of the preview pane and drop them, or highlight them and press the "Delete" key.

Once you're ready to upload, click the "Next" button. On the next screen, you can add titles, tags, and descriptions for your photos and choose the privacy. To apply the same information to all of the photos in this batch, fill out the top portion under "Edit Information for All Photos." Then click the button to "Apply this info to the photos below."
If you're experiencing issues with the bulk uploader, you can always use the simple uploader by clicking the link to "Return to our simple uploader" at the bottom of the page.


How do I delete a photo?
To delete a photo, go to that photo’s detail page. Below the photo you’ll find the "Delete Photo" link. Click this link!


How do I resize an image to keep it under the 500kb size limit?
The easiest way to do this is with a program like Photoshop. If you do not know this program, you can use this very easy to use online photo re-sizer. Shrink Pics
1.) Choose your file
2.) Select "760 pixels"
3.) Do not check anything here, unless you want to make your pic b&w or sepia.
4.) Select "Best"
That's it! After your image has been re-sized, download it to your computer and upload it to the LPC.


How do I change my profile picture?
Log in to the LPC and click the “My Settings” link on the right side of the page. Hit the blue/green photo icon in the “Your Photo” section. Click the “Browse” button under the Profile Photo field to locate an image on your computer and press “Done.” When you upload a new photo, the old one will be deleted.
New profile photos can take up to thirty minutes to show up on networks you belong to, so don’t worry if your new photo doesn’t appear immediately!


How do I add my pics to albums?
You can do this by clicking on "My Albums" and then clicking on "Create an Album." From there, you're able to drag photos from the LPC to the album preview pane on the right side of the page. You can choose the specific order of the photos. Once you've done this, click "save" to see your final product.


How do I remove a photo from an album?
To remove a photo from an album, just drag it back to the box on the left side of the album page, inside the pool of original photos.


How do I add an image to a blog or forum post?
You can insert an image into your blog or forum post by clicking the “Add a Photo” button in the toolbar. This button looks like a framed picture. A window will pop up prompting you to select a photo from your computer to upload. Once you’ve found the image you want, click the “Add” button. This will insert the image into your blog or forum post.


I see a video or photo I think is really nifty. Is there a way for me to keep track of all the videos or photos I like?
You can mark any video or photo as one of your favorites if you really love it and want to be able to locate it in the future. Click the “Add to Favorites” link underneath the photo or video.
To view videos you have selected as your favorites, click the Videos tab and follow the “My Favorites” link at the top of the page. To view your favorite photos on LPC, click the Photos tab and follow the “My Favorites” link at the top of the page.
