The web is a great place to display your photos and a modern digital camera helps, as the image is stored in a ready to use format.
However film pictures can be scanned and converted to a suitable format for use on the web.
Of course the image has to be in a digital format, if It is to be emailed as a attachment to the webmaster. Another way is for the images to be burnt onto a CD and posted to the webmaster. Below are pointers for members in preparing images for net use.
The main Bitmap formats are:

1. TIFF. Tagged Image File Format. this is just one used by most cameras to store the image.
2. GIF. Graphics Interchange Format. Suitable for line art and images of 256 colours or less.
3. JPEG. Joint Photographic Experts Group. Especially suitable for the Internet. It supports a high-level of compression. Very suitable for photos.
4. PNG. Interlaced Portable Networks Graphics. now being used increasingly on the net. but not all browsers support it.

The main consideration for web images is the download time, Since visitors will lose interest if the site takes too long to download.
So please take your images in 640 x 480 Jpeg I can edit and apply additional techniques using Photoshop.
