Default Help

I've scanned some old photos onto my computer and uploaded them to photobucket. I tried to follow the guidelines above but I think photobucket has changed its format and I can't resize them from the original small and very small scans.

Would appreciate any assistance as I do have several very old photos I'm desperate to improve to hopefully include in a photobook.

Can someone have a look and see what I'm doing wrong when uploading.

Thanks.

Hi JBee
Photobucket certainly has changed in the last few days !
At the moment it's a real muddle as far as I can see but what exactly are you hoping to do with your pics ?

Are you wanting to put them on here for restoration ?

A good scan is THE most important bit.

That means you want a BIG file size and you should scan at 300 - 600 and at 100% scale at least.

Your Photobucket file size should be set to the maximum (1MB for the free account)

Am in a rush and I have to go out now but hopefully someone else will be able to help ~ will pm you with scanning info and hope that's helpful
