Class of '64 Mini-Reunion Photo Album!

Bob Pranis has set up a wonderful album of the weekend and included contributions from others. In a labor of love, Bob has cropped and done tonal and color adjustments on all the photos, and they look great!  Each photo is labeled by its photographer, and they are in roughly chronological order beginning on Friday.

You can access the album here: http://bpranis.smugmug.com/Events/KE64-Reunion. Just click on this link. (If for some reason the link doesn't work, copy the link and paste it into URL box at the top of your browser, then hit "Enter.") This will take you to the Class of 1964 Reunion photowebsite. Click on either the group photo or "KE 64 2010 Reunion" to access the album.

Once you are there, you can do lots of great things.

1. Slideshow: The slideshow button is at the far upper right. Click it and your slideshow will begin, with the pictures appearing full-screen size. There are over 100 pictures already and we want more photos! More on that later.

2. View individual photos. When you first enter the album, you will find thumbnails of every photo on the left half of your screen with the photo "selected" enlarged at the right. You can click directly on any small thumbnail and it will appear in the large display pane to the right.

Above the thumbnails, you will see it says "Page 1 of x." This means that there are x pages of thumbnails. To get to the next page of thumbnails, click "Next." Use the double arrows to go to the last or first page.

3. View individual photos in full screen mode. First click on the photo you want to see so that it appears in the panel to the right. Then double click on the larger photo (not the thumbnail) and it will come up in the full-screen mode.

At the top is a link bar so that you can move forward or backward through the photos in this mode. If you click on the "O" link it will show the photos in the Original size Bob used, which is 1280x1024 pixels.

You can return to the previous screen with thumbnail shots on the left and a larger one on the right by using the browser window’s back arrow, usually in top most left for PC users.  You Mac guys are used to translating PC instructions, so do your thing

4. Mouseover Menu - When you put your mouse on the larger photo in the right display panel, a menu will appear over the photo. This menu has a number of choices to help you either view or save the picture.

--You can rank a picture as to whether or not you like it. (The help link appears to be related to the ranking process vs. the photo application itself.)
 
--The "photo size" options are useful if you want to save the selected shot. If you want to edit the photo once it’s saved on your PC, select "Original." This would be recommended if you want to print a shot. If you just want to store the shot on your computer or use it in an e-mail, the small or medium size should be fine.

-- If you pick the "Save" option when you select a size, or if you pick the "Save Photo" folder at the bottom of the mouseover menu, you’ll see a file download window, which will ask, "Do you want to open or save this file?" If you pick "Save," another window will appear allowing you to save the photo on your computer. This window will often have you in the last place you saved something. If that’s not where you want the picture to be saved, use either the "up" arrow or the "drop down" to navigate to the place you keep photos and save it there.

Suggestion: Give the picture a name you’ll remember to help you find it again. Do that by clicking in the name box at the bottom of the "save" window and typing the name there.

5. Another option to save photos to your own computer: Follow step 3 to get into the full screen mode and the original size. To save in the original size, right click the photo in the original size and choose "save image as" from the drop down menu. Now you can choose where you want to save it, as described above.

These photos are about 300Kb each. Note that you must save photos one at a time, you cannot download all of them at once.

We want your photos! If you have photos to add to this great album, please email them to Bob Pranis at bpranis@northlc.com. Please note that is the letter "l" not the numeral "1" in his address. Bob will take your photos and work them into the album. Clicking the link you see above should open your e-mail with Bob’s address already there.

Thanks Bob!!


Editor’s note: We tried to make the instructions complete but like most things electronic, it can get a little weird.  If you need help doing something in the photo album, e-mail me and I’ll try to help.
