Tutorial for uploading photos and video

Going to try a phone down load as I've noticed this getting worse using Android.

Here goes!

Oh dear, as suspected, poorer quality from phone, original is much clearer.

Odd, the quality is reasonable from my iphone. Which is not one of the latest models. Most phones have fairly high resolution cameras. Certainly I needed to reduce the quality of this photo to get it to post. Has the quality been compromised by whatever you are using to reduce it?

I do use your Firefox in Windows method if I want to add more than the five photos into a story. Your method does take some getting used to but it certainly works. The problem as I see it is that many people don't even bother to add photos to a story so I expect they are unlikely to try something which is a bit more complicated. 

I have the advantage of storing my photos on my webspace so don't have to use third party photo hosting websites. How do you add the photos like you have done above from a third party like my snowdrops?

David,

Once the photo has been uploaded to CT, it's stored in a CT resources folder. If you right click on a diplayed image and select 'view image' then the photo will appear full size. Use the back arrow to get back to the discussion. It's the same as having a photo in the cloud or on your own website.

However, in the case of your snowdrops and my snowboarding grandson I simply did a drag and drop from your post to my new post. Try it!

Thanks for the info, I will give it a try when I have a moment. As far as you know this only works with Firefox?

Well I have succeeded in dragging a single photograph into the post but it is not very large but assume it's because I have taken from a group of photos and all I have done is copied it over size for size.

Another try but this time from the actual Story Section when you get a slightly larger picture which is a bit too big for the posting pane. BTW this is the new barrier at Ferry Meadows if you have not seen it, now nowhere to park if you are early.
