JMARINER Posted October 12, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I assume you mean how to post your photos from your device to include in a Cruise Critic post? For any device it works the same way. You need to download the photo to an online locations such as Picasa.Google Photos, Icloud storage, Facebook, etc. Then find the photo in your online storage and click on the photo and select "Copy" or "Copy URL Address" Then paste the "URL" into the "insert image" tab at the top of the posting page. That is it. It will really speed up you initial download from your device to the cloud if you downsize the photo on the device first. Most cameras and phones take photos that are 2-3 megs aor bigger. Try to get the photo size under 1 meg, closer to 500k is better. j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really appreciate the advice but seems a bit high tech for me eek!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UUNetBill Posted October 12, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Wouldn't it also be possible to transfer the photos to an iPhone via iCloud or AirDrop and use Tapatalk to upload them? I don't do Mac, just iPhone and iPad, sorry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelcat2 Posted October 12, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Again, thank you. Air drop and iCloud are a bit of a mystery to me but i will try to persevere. Suggest that you contact your local Apple dealer. They would know the answers!!!! I use Tapatalk but would have no clue how to describe how to use it!:cool::rolleyes::confused: IMO, having a third party company like photo bucket is the best way to post photos.

But the photos size becomes potential problem both down-steam and up-stream; the bigger the file size the long it takes in both direction. And if you do not down size the photo before inserting into your CruiseCrictic post you end up with the massive dimension photos that out sizes the viewing page.

UUNetBill Posted October 13, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Just used Tapatalk to upload this. No URL embedding necessary if the photo in question is on your IOS device. Just click the ‘plus’ icon, then the ‘mountain picture’ icon, select the pic(s) to upload and click Done. Pretty easy and no third-party hosting is necessary so you save time not having to upload all your pics to another site. I usually do this all on my iPad. I bought an EyeFi Mobi card that lets me send my photos from my Nikon directly to my iPad, then direct posts to CC. Pretty easy, IMO.

UUNetBill Posted October 13, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Oh, and I could be wrong on this, but I think Tapatalk also automatically resizes your photos for you so you don't have the huge photos in your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
