Peter Jordan Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I have just been typing a response to a thread about the RX10. I wanted to include one of my Alamy images, and did the following: (1) Opened the image as if I were a customer. (2) Clicked "Download Preview Image" (3) Saved the dowloaded jpg. (4) Opened in Photoshop and downsized. (5) In PS, I did "Select all" and copied the *.jpg image (6) Pasted it into the text in the thread reply box. I then attempted to post the reply, but got a blue box telling me that the forum did not accept images with this extension (I paraphrase as I did not note the exact text). Surprised that (if this is what it means) that it does not accept jpg. Appreciate advice how to do this please...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Right click on the image in (1) Copy image location. CLick the picture icon above the reply box. Paste into the box which pops up. Post. So. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morrison Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Whoops, Mark has beat me to it... You can also just drag 'n' drop any Alamy image into this box to provide a small thumbnail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Palmer Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 FYI, drag and drop doesn't work for me in Internet Explorer, I use Firefox instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Jordan Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Thanks all, I will give it a try here, and if I can make it work, I'll get back to my RX10 thread..... Here goes: OK many thanks, that seems to work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisken Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 As confirmed by others, Facebook happily accepts JPG images. I can upload full, untouched D90 ones with no problem. There used to be an option to load smaller size if required, don't know if that is still there. From experience FB chokes when I've accidentally selected NEF images. It can't handle 'em.

Allan Bell Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I open the required image to Desktop as if a customer. Ensure the forum location is open where I wish to place image. Simply left click and hold on image on Desktop and drag to location on forum. Image appears on forum as if by magic. Allan BTW the downloaded image remains on Desktop so delete it if you do not wish to use it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Jordan Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Spacecadet, Just tried it your way, the answer to my problem is to use Firefox - you cannot copy the link in IE - many thanks N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
