Most people tend not to think about the details of their online photo sharing experience. As long as their photos get from their computers to their online photo album, they could care less about the processes that got it there. The way that digital cameras designed, this really isn’t a problem, as most cameras and photo editing software support this approach. However, there’s a lot more that goes into online photo sharing than is obvious on the surface.
Those who are interested in the fundamentals of digital photography may be curious about different file formats. Many have heard or seen the terms for picture file extensions, such as .jpg (or JPEG), .gif, .tif, and .png. What do all these different three letter extensions mean?
JPEGs
The term JPEG actually stands for “Joint Photographic Experts Group” – the group that initially created the standard back in 1992. Since then, the JPEG has become the most commonly found picture file type on the Internet. This is primarily because JPEGs offer a tremendous amount of flexibility in terms of its compression and picture quality. That is, its possible to significantly reduce the storage size of a JPEG file by also reducing the quality. Back when the Internet was first starting out, downloading mutli-megabyte picture files just wasn’t practical. JPEGs could maintain a reasonable image quality while making the file size of the image much smaller.
JPEGs have remained an Internet standard thanks to this quality. People are able to make images much easier to transfer between computers without losing a significant amount of picture quality. The drawback to JPEGs is that it is a “lossy” format – this means that each time a picture is edited and resaved in the JPEG format, it loses a degree of quality.
TIFFs
TIFF stands for Tagged Image File Format. TIFF files are versatile and high quality, supporting up to 48-bit color depth (compared to 8-bit for GIFs and 24-bit for JPEGs). The downsides of this format are two-fold. For one, TIFF files have a wide variance and an image viewer that can view one type of TIFF file can’t necessarily view anther. Secondly, TIFF files are not widely supported by web browsers, making them impractical for online photo sharing.
GIFs and PNGs
GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format. Like the JPEG, GIF files are also commonly found all around the Internet. GIF files are comparatively limited in their color palette – having only 256 colors to work with. This make GIFs a good choice for relatively simple pictures without a lot of color differences, such as cartoons and simple logos. While it a lossless format that doesn’t degrade in quality, it’s pretty rare that you’ll see a photograph in a GIF format in the modern age, since most cameras are able to take pictures with significantly more color depth.
PNGs, or Portable Network Graphics files, are the successor to GIFs. Unlike GIFs, they support truecolor, a 16-million color palette. PNGs are lossless, making them great for editing photos. Most web browsers support PNGs, but they can still be quite large. In many cases, the best choice is to edit a file in PNG format, then convert to JPEG for distribution.

Alex Don asked:
Even experienced photographers find wildlife photography a rewarding, but sometimes frustrating experience. A good photo of a wild animal in its natural habitat is a great memory, but the challenges it brings can make a beginner feel a bit overwhelmed. ‘It was a great experience, but the photos don’t really capture it.’ is a common phrase we hear from people who come back from exotic holidays. This happens even when you have everything set and your camera ready – you just miss the shot. You can’t usually blame the quality of the camera for this. Even with the best camera there is, if we rush to take a picture – any picture – we are bound to make mistakes that ruin the opportunity of a great wildlife photo. Here are some common mistakes many amateur photographers make and ways to avoid them.
1. Not Getting Close Enough to the Subject. This is the most obvious mistake someone can make. You see a rare bird in a tree and rush to take a photo, but when you look at it later you can hardly see the bird behind the leaves. Before taking the photo, ask yourself what is important to catch and eliminate all the rest. You can do this by getting as close as you can to the subject (without scaring it away) and/or zooming in using the largest lens. This way you eliminate all the distractions and the viewer can concentrate on the subject itself.
2. Catching Too Much of the Background. Many people keep their cameras on automatic which lets it select its own settings. While this occasionally works, if you want to get great wildlife photos you need to make these choices for yourself. If the aperture of the camera is set too small, you get a wider area of field around your subject, which is a disturbing distraction. When photographing animals, it is best to set the aperture at the widest. This narrows field depth and the focus is on the animal not the surroundings. It also comes with another advantage, which is faster speed, helping you catch the perfect moment when photographing a moving subject.
3. Getting Too Close to your Subject. From fear that their subject will not be visible enough, especially if they’ve had such experiences, some people fall in the opposite mistake and that is getting too close. If you catch an animal alone with no surroundings, it seems a bit out of place and the photo can look rather unnatural. You need a small background so that the composition doesn’t look cramped. This means at least some small space above the subject’s head and some on each side. In case the animal looks to the right or left, you should adjust the composition to make sure you have a bit more space in front of it than behind. This way it will seem that the animal looks right into the picture not at the frame.
4. Bad lighting. While you may like to get out on nice sunny days, this is not necessarily the best time to take a good picture. Bright sunshine can create shadows where you least want them; that is, on the face of your subject. If you take a photo at noon and the sun is shining brightly you may find that the whole face of the animal is covered with a dark shadow. If you really want good photos and it’s a sunny day, take the early in the morning o in the evening when the sun is lower upon the sky. This gives you a warmer light and lower contrast, making the whole photo more expressive. Often the best photos are taken on cloudy days, when there is less light and lower contrast. This type of light takes off heavy shadow and glare.
5. Bad timing. This is also a very common mistake when photographing wild animals. They are alive, they move, blink, flap their wings or turn their back. You can sometimes get so frustrated that you feel they are doing it on purpose just to make sure you miss your photo. However, you shouldn’t get discouraged. For every wildlife photographer, the opportunities to take a bad picture are endless, while the ones to take a great one are only a few. But they are well worth the waiting. It is just a matter of perseverance and patience. If you spend more time with the animal you will learn to anticipate its moves and improve your chances of getting a better shot. Try to catch something unique, memorable, something that can set your picture apart from the thousands of wildlife photographs out there. You should expect to miss the shot very often and most of your photos will probably be bulk. But when you do get that perfect moment on camera, it will be something to treasure.

I am using nerophoto snap viewer. As much as I zoom in my small photo it doesn’t get saved according to the size I want. How do I enlarge a small photo that was scanned and then save it to the size I want?

Tedric Garrison asked:
For most of us it seems fairly common sense that you can’t fit a square peg into a round hole, yet many beginning photographers attempt to do just that. If you have a tall, vertical subject like a person or a tree your camera needs to be held in a vertical position. Why? Because if you do not fill the frame of your camera, you are wasting visual space. Have you ever seen a finished painting where 2/3rd’s of the canvas has no paint on it at all? Very doubtful, because to the painter ever square inch of his canvas, is part of his creation. Therefore the first photo tip is the format (vertical or horizontal) must match the subject.
This basic concept covers several elements of design. To have balance in your image the subject must match the format. To make sure the subject is the main focus of your viewer, you must be aware of the background so it does not distract. Of course, the easiest way to eliminate visual distractions is to move in closer.
Getting back to the painting analogy, most painters are very aware of the point of focus in their finished product. Likewise; as an up and coming photographer your next photo tip to remember is to always be aware of the viewer’s point of focus. Just for clarification, I am not talking about depth of field. When I use the phrase “point of focus” I am referring to what the viewer sees within your image. You might think that is obvious, they are looking at my subject. That is only true, if you shot your subject correctly.
For example, let’s say you take a picture of a girl at the beach. Regardless of what format you choose if the horizontal line of the water crashing on the sand is dramatically off it will distract your viewer. If in the background there is a little boy playing with a big round ball, this will also pull your attention away from the main subject. If the subject is fairly light skinned and you have her lying on a bright red towel, that color will also visually distract.
To this end, learning the rule of thirds will greatly enhance the odds that your viewer is looking specifically where you want them to look. If you divide any image into thirds, (both vertically and horizontally) the points where those thirds meet are the natural focus points of most viewers. Therefore if you design the image so that your subject falls on one or more of those natural focus points, you will have a great advantage over those who shoot everything dead center. The third photo tip is this; place your subject where it is visually the most pleasing.
Most painters when they have finished their great work of art will frame it. Why is that? A frame helps draw your attention into the image and says, “Hey look at me, I’m important!” While you can do this in the same way that most painters do, when it comes to photography the word “framing” tends to take on a different meaning.
In most cases, framing consist of something in the foreground (usually slightly out of focus) that helps set off something in the background. One of the reasons this is such a powerful tool, is that this is exactly how the human eye sees things. Think about it: A flower at the edge of a canyon, you can either focus on the flower or the canyon, but not both. Your camera, can make both in focus at the same time (depth of field), but that’s not really how you saw it. Another great photo tip is to make the viewer feel what you felt. This can often be done by framing and the creative use of a narrow depth of field.
To summarize:
A) The format (vertical or horizontal) must match the subject. (Don’t waist space, plan every inch of your canvas.)
B) Always be aware of the viewer’s point of focus. (Don’t let lines, shapes, or colors become distractions.)
C) Place your subject where it is visually the most pleasing. (Use lines and the Rule of Thirds to your advantage.)
D) Make the viewer feel what you felt. (Use framing and Depth of Field to your advantage.)
If you were already an artist, composition might come naturally. But for those new to photography, this is the starting point not the final destination. Each of these tips helps you to remember several other issues involved in making a great photo. It helps if you think of yourself as an artist and each image as a work of art. Study the elements of design. Be aware what lines,shapes, colors, texture, and balance can do for your image. Take pride in every shot you take, and above all . . . have fun!

Ziv Haparnas asked:
The old saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” was never more true. In the digital photography era photos can be used in more types of media than they could have before. Not limited to paper prints they can be used on web sites, in emails, in cellular phones, projected in presentations and more. When selling products online photos are a powerful tool that you must use. Here is how.
Web sites that do not include photos are boring. For example imagine that you are looking to buy a new MP3 player. After searching for “mp3 players” you land on a web site that offers a new MP3 device. The site has a lot of information: specifications, user guides, capabilities descriptions and more but it does not have any photos of the device. You are most likely going to skip that site and move on to the next one.
This behavior is common to most consumers especially in this era of immediate gratification and impatience. Consumers do not want to spend time reading and figuring out what you are trying to sell. They want to see a photo and get a short snippet of what the main features of the product are and what the price is..
Just taking photos and adding them to a web site is not enough. Good photos can add a lot to a product image but at the same time bad photos can really damage that image. Here are some tips and concepts that can help taking good photos that in turn help selling products online:
Variation: Take more than one photo. Show the product from many angles: zoomed in and zoomed out and in different positions – for example if the product is a clamshell-phone you should show it both in the opened and closed positions.
Quality: The photo quality must be as high as possible. Don’t confuse quality with file size or resolution – we refer here to photographic quality: Follow the rules of good photography, use a tripod if long exposure is needed make sure the photo is not overexposed or underexposed and that it is not blurry.
Background: It is very important to shoot with the appropriate background. Usually you would stage a background that is in contrast with the product and that has no details or distracting objects that can catch the viewer’s attention. Make sure that the background is a matte color and that it does not reflect light. For example when taking a photo of a black computer mouse and keyboard use a white or light gray background.
Show details: Emphasize the product details. Every product has unique features or important details that you would like to draw the viewer’s attention to. The best way to do that is to take close-up photos of those details. You are not limited to physical details for example when selling an MP3 player that has long battery life take a close-up photo of the player’s LCD screen displaying the time left “13 playing hours left”. Such a photo conveys credibility and is much more powerful than the product battery life specifications text.
Support the product description: Take photos that support the textual description of the product. For example if the text claims that the MP3 player comes in three colors: black, silver and red show three photos of the player in those colors.
Convey physical attributes: If your product has unique physical attributes that you would like to emphasize take photos that convey them. For example if the product size is important use a known size object in order to help the viewer visualize the size – take a photo of the MP3 player next to a quarter coin to show how small the player is. It is much easier for viewers to visualize and understand measurements if they are put in reference with objects they know very well. This is much more powerful than specifying inches and ounces in a textual specification.
Keep file sizes small: Keep the photo file size small. When viewing a photo on a computer screen low resolution photos are more than enough. In most cases a VGA (640X480) picture is all that is needed and such a photo file size can be 50Kbytes or less. It is important to keep this in mind and not be tempted to put high resolution big photos files. Such big files load slowly on the viewer’s computer and in most cases the viewer will get frustrated from the slow response and would just skip to the next site.

Mario Churchill asked:
When speaking about fashion, bags are important to compliment the attire of people especially of women. Bags have their exclusive use of housing essential stuffs women use such as make-up kit, cellular phone, purse and perfume.
Different kinds of bags must have been created by designers to cope up with the needs of trendy ladies. One of the hottest accessories is the photo bag. The photo bag is like an ordinary bag which holds and displays up to nine of the favorite photos of women wherever they may go.
The photo bag is one of the latest in the bag industry that it has been catching the attention of more and more women. While some women buy from the boutiques, others prefer to make their own using usually old and remotely stylish bags.
What is nice about the photo bag is that it can be designed by any capable and creative individual including men. They may even choose to do this as a gift to their girlfriends. In making a photo bag, a little of time and effort are the key factors aside from the necessary materials.
To start, you would need any material that can be made into a bag such as vinyl, clothe, plastic, leather, woven abaca and other materials sturdy enough to hold things. You would also need a needle and thread, sewing machine or adhesives to hold the material to form a bag. You may explore the kinds of bag that you would want to make. The easiest one is the shoulder bag.
Depending on the size of the photos, make pockets visible to the viewer using plastic cover. The number of photos depends on the size of the bag and the pictures to be mounted on the bag. As the designer, you are free to where to place the pockets as long as these are visible to the viewer.
Choose your best photos and insert these to the pockets. The good thing with pockets is that the photos can be changed depending on the user. Permanent photo pockets may be done also by sealing the photo pockets.
To make a good impression on your photo bag, consider other factors such as color and texture. In color, choose shades that compliment with your clothes well and are harder to get dirty such as earth and dark colors. This is not only practical but also aesthetics-wise. The texture must also be considered since most women choose the bags with soft materials such as silk and cotton. They definitely want these kinds than the hard ones.
The photo bag can be very convenient to the sentimental ones. It rekindles the good old memories. Whenever you go, you can bring with you the memories that you share with other people.

When speaking about fashion, bags are important to compliment the attire of people especially of women. Bags have their exclusive use of housing essential stuffs women use such as make-up kit, cellular phone, purse and perfume.
Different kinds of bags must have been created by designers to cope up with the needs of trendy ladies. One of the hottest accessories is the photo bag. The photo bag is like an ordinary bag which holds and displays up to nine of the favorite photos of women wherever they may go.
The photo bag is one of the latest in the bag industry that it has been catching the attention of more and more women. While some women buy from the boutiques, others prefer to make their own using usually old and remotely stylish bags.
What is nice about the photo bag is that it can be designed by any capable and creative individual including men. They may even choose to do this as a gift to their girlfriends. In making a photo bag, a little of time and effort are the key factors aside from the necessary materials.
To start, you would need any material that can be made into a bag such as vinyl, clothe, plastic, leather, woven abaca and other materials sturdy enough to hold things.

Depending on the size of the photos, make pockets visible to the viewer using plastic cover. The number of photos depends on the size of the bag and the pictures to be mounted on the bag. As the designer, you are free to where to place the pockets as long as these are visible to the viewer.

If you surf the Internet quite a bit, and in particular enjoy frequenting different blogs, then you have probably come across at least one photo mosaic meme. You may not have known what you were looking at or what it was called, but you probably found it interesting. Just in case you have no clue what a photo mosaic meme is, it is a mosaic composed of twelve different pictures (more or less based on your preferences)that you may have seen on any number of blogs.
Photo mosaic meme’s are relatively easy to create and add a bit of character to otherwise plain blogs or websites. Basically, online photo mosaic meme creators ask you a series of twelve questions for which you input the answers and your mosaic is created based upon the answers you give. An excellent automated online photo mosaic creator is at http://www.photofunlab.com/photo-mosaic-meme. You simply put in your answers to the questions and you have a unique photo mosaic meme in seconds. Want something a little different? Simply change your answers to create a new mosaic.
There are also online photo mosaic meme makers that allow you to choose your own photos; and then your mosaic is created based on the photos you have selected. Though 12 photos seems to be the most popular number for creating a photo mosaic meme, there are mosaic creators that allow you to build your meme based on the number of rows and columns you select, which means you can add more or less photos depending on what you hope to achieve.
If you have a blog that is lacking in character, you should definitely think about adding your own photo mosaic meme. Adding a photo mosaic meme to your blog helps it stand apart from others, especially if you have chosen a standard template for your blog’s theme.
The photos that you choose for your mosaic tell your visitors a bit about yourself and showcase your artistic talent, even if you previously believed you had none. Often, the end result of your mosaic is surprisingly beautiful. When visitors to your blog see your photo mosaic meme, they learn a bit about your likes and dislikes as well as your character.
For example, suppose you have chosen mostly photos with a hint of blues and violets – it may indicate that you are a serene, peace loving individual. Or perhaps you just chose those particular photos because you liked them. It is all in the interpretation of the viewer – art tends to mean different things to different people. If you ask five different people what they think about a piece of artwork, you are liable to get five different answers. The important thing, though, is that your photo mosaic meme ultimately caught and held their interest.
There is no easier or quicker way to spice up your dull blog than by adding a simple photo mosaic meme. Whereas creating graphics can take days or weeks, adding a mosaic to your blog takes only a few minutes. Be sure to experiment with the many different mosaic creators online until you achieve the look you are hoping for. Once you have completed your photo mosaic meme, you will probably wonder what took you so long to add this simple artistic touch to your blog.
