Downloading photographs

taddy · 06-04-2014, 20:49

Hi all, could anyone out there explain how you upload/download, whatever is the tech speak, a photograph, text or whatever on to the web. please keep it simple as I am a comparative novice with this Bill Gates's infernal machine, (also known as a computer I believe),

Many thanks in anticipation, Yours Taddy.

Are you trying to post a pic to this forum?

There is a thread in the archives which gives instructions and pictures for guidance.
I will look and post a link.

Post 42 in the 'Woodnook in Pictures'. It shows what you will see on screen.

Here`s the "how to" I think Margaret was referring to.

Thanks GP.
Couldn't put a link on.....I am on my iPad and don't know how to put links on using this. I am sure it is possible, but I haven't found out how just yet.....plus the internet connection keeps dropping out.

It`s not easy to find either (the how to thread), the search function doesn`t find it because the words are too short and there is a spelling mistake, so have it bookmarked now.

Many thanks for all your help people, the instructions still look very intimidating to a relative newcomer on this Bill Gates's infernal machine alias (the computer).
I was always told that the best way to learn something is to practice but it could take some time. Again thank you all, Taddy

I'm sure you'll get there .We were all new to this contraption at one time.

Not sure what you mean by 'some time' but I've had this thing 10 years and still know nowt!
Still, it's fun trying, good luck with it!

Anways...

Your thread is a bit misleading. From the title it appears you want to download photographs. Then you mention onto the web... Confused.

So simply to explain...

Download - this is data coming to your computer
Upload - this is data going from your computer

To download a picture you see on screen just right click with mouse and press save picture as. Rename to what u want to call it and press save

To upload a file onto the web. Well. There are many different ways... To add one to this thread press go advanced, find where it says add attachment and add your photo.
