Pic test

[GH85Carrera]

G-Man, the multiple copies is something that can happen if the file extension is jpeg and not jpg. Macs or Apple products love jpeg file extensions on phhotos and the rest of the world wants three character extensions.

Thanks Glen, I’ll have to look into that but I think you might be onto something.
I’ll test it on my work computer and my phone tomorrow.

PNG files are also giving me issues. Which is weird because pelican accepts that file extension and Apple uses it for screenpics if I am not mistaken.

PNG simply ain't gonna work. Pelican accepts them, but it just throws them into a wormhole or something. So forget PNG. Use photos with a .jpg extension only. And if the file is right from a iPhone or iPad, the odds are good it will be sideways. Once again, Apple along uses their convention of what is up for the photo orientation, and does not care that 99% of the worlds photos are not that format.

For any photo I take on my iPhone the first thing I do is right click on the photo, go to properties, Go to the Details tab, then look at the bottom of the window and look for the blue line "Remove Properties and Personal Information" click that, and it opens yet another window to allow you to remove all information or some. I usually just click the remove following properties, then scroll down and find the GPS title and I select the Latitude, Longitude, and Altitude buttons and and click OK. I do that for any image at my house or a location that I don't want on the internet. If I am out and about I don't care. Then I open t in a photo editing program and reduce the image size to 2,100 pixels wide to make upload faster.

I have found (by accident) that if you rename ".png" to ".jpg" before uploading to pelican, it works every time.

Don't know why, but it works.

For example, to post this image:



I right-clicked on the image at this website: Pelican Transparent PNG | PNG Mart
Saved it to my computer, changing the extension to '.jpg' then uploaded to this post.

I have never done that but will try it.

I usually pull the .png file up in MS Paint and save as a separate jpeg file. I wonder if it's simply doing the same thing as you?

So, how do we do this on the iPhone.

On the phone, I have noticed now that when I select the pictures, it tells me the size and gives the option of small, medium and large.

If they would just post right side up...

Not Burmese, but Suphalak from Thailand. However, in ancient times, the Burmese and Suphalak are related. See http://www.timba.org/suphalak.html

And... I have one Suphalak neutered boy (1 year old) and two Burmese neutered boys (one is 11 months old and one is 16 months old). They all need new homes. See https://thaicathouse.com/

If you might be interested, send me a PM or email from the web site. Half price + delivery and registration/pedigree papers from TIMBA.

I wish I could, but I'm too alergic to cats these days. Two of the coolest cats I've ever seen were Burmese, though. Both neutered sable brown boys.
