Read the manual that came with the camera
Be sure to set the "file number" to "series" ( so it doesn't start over with a "1" on each floppy) - see manual - Digital pictures should be renamed with an identifying filename before being placed in the 2005 Photos folder. Since each building has several of the same cameras, the potential exists that the same file name (i.e. mvc-331f.jpg) could have been generated by each of those cameras.
Also, reduce the "image size" to 540x480 or 1024x768 to fit more on a floppy (unless quality become too diminished) - see manual -If possible, please use a "standard" rather than "fine" setting for the photos. Standard photos are of a smaller file size which makes it easier to transfer.

| Slide pictures into a "template" with 6 pictures on a page | Here's a master
Word document you could use to place pictures in text boxes, as well
as to type captions in text boxes (without lines) beneath the 6
pictures. Experiment developing your own "templates" -
please share them via email. Here's an example.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Print pictures in
ready-made Calendars Greeting Cards |
Use Microsoft
Publisher (it is on all the Windows XP computers). There are
pre-designed calendars and greeting cards among other documents - change
the existing graphic to a photo of your choice.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Print pictures in
ready-made Frames |
Within a Microsoft
Word document insert clipart that is a frame, then put your picture in a
textbox on top of it. You will probably have to change the
"order" and "transparency" of the picture by using
both the Drawing toolbar and the Pictures toolbar. There's a nice
selection of frames available at "clips online".

| Drop
your photo into a greeting card “template” in Word |
Here's a few master Word documents you could use to place a picture in a greeting card (no text).
|
|||||||||||||||||||||
| E-mail a number
of pictures at one time |
First thought - DON'T email many
pictures as attachments in the same email - some IP providers are not able
to handle huge amounts of data such as this within one mailing (it might
be returned to you as undeliverable)- some people have told of it causing
their home computer to crash or lock up
Before you take photos, consider reducing the "image size" through the camera's settings - see the user manual that came with the camera. If you already have "large" photos that you must email: Resize pictures in Paint to reduce the file size of the pictures individually; then email them as attachments. |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Reduce red-eye |
For home use, you might consider downloading Picasa, a free photo editing program from Google that includes a "redeye" basic fix. www.picasa.com
|
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Saving Photos to
the Building Server from a Camera using a USB cable |
You do not need to install
software - just be sure you are using a Windows XP computer.
Refer to the camera's user manual. Generally, you will have the camera turned off and the computer already on. Then connect the USB cable to the camera and the computer. Turn the camera on. The Sony's will usually be automatically detected and appear in My Computer. However, the Olympus' will need you to look at its LCD panel - be sure it says USB at the top, then select PC, then click OK on the camera; it then should be detected and appear in My Computer. Most cameras show up as "removable disk" - double click on it, double click on the camera's folder that has the photos you want, drag the images from there to the desired location (folder on the server).
