Post More Original Photos Faster with "Hi-Res Upload" to Trip Journals

I like to have my cake and eat it too.  The new “Hi-Res Upload” option allows me to do just that.   This is Part 2 of a three-part series.

The Hi-Res option, available to Premium trip journal subscribers along with archiving and other features, provides the same easy-to-use, drag-and-drop experience as the Express Upload. Subject to certain file size limits, I can post up to 60 photos  to my Trip Journal with a single click, all in their original resolution and quality.

The new system actually uploads 3 versions of each photo: the hi-res version, one that’s good for computer screen viewing, and a thumbnail.   The ActiveX version of this component, used by Microsoft Internet Explorer, works fastest; other browsers do the same thing, not quite as swiftly.

While the computer quality photo allows for fast loading by your visitors, you can also post a link to your original photos so others can access them as well as you.  These cave-dwellers, for instance, can be seen in higher-res glory .   To display a link to the original, just select this option on your  ‘Journal Options’ page.

To minimize upload times, adjust your camera’s settings to find the resolution you will need for printing (and not higher). I find that a JPG resolution of 1 MB will be more than sufficient for most of my printing needs.
