Picasa, File Servers and so on...

21.22 General Announcement No Comments

As everyone knows, File Sharing Service Megaupload was shut down recently.

I'm having problems uploading the photo packs to multiupload, so as of now; I'm using mediafire; till I find a better solution.

Anyone have any advice, or comments, please kindly post them at this post. Thanks a lot, appreciate it!

Another matter is I get lots of questions regarding picture sizes.

Certain posts have lesser than 20 pictures; for these posts I won't be having an album upload pack for you guys to download. You have to individually download them.

But Picasa changed the way the images are being displayed; so the solution is as follows:

Taking the Hwang Mi Hee's digital painting as above as an example:

1. Right click to open the picture in a new tab or window.
2. Note the url in the window. In this example it's: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_oohbCCfc67o/TQsJfIkENeI/AAAAAAAAB_k/QOlUFMxHgCU/s800/Hwang%20Mi%20Hee%207%20iPhone%20Wallpaper.jpg
   
3. To get the highest resolution for the image, change the "s" to the desired resolution. For example s800 to s1024. If there is no resolution, just add the resolution (s0124) to the front of the file name with forward slashes in between.
4. Example: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_oohbCCfc67o/TQsJfIkENeI/AAAAAAAAB_k/QOlUFMxHgCU/s800/Hwang%20Mi%20Hee%207%20iPhone%20Wallpaper.jpg to http://lh4.ggpht.com/_oohbCCfc67o/TQsJfIkENeI/AAAAAAAAB_k/QOlUFMxHgCU/s1024/Hwang%20Mi%20Hee%207%20iPhone%20Wallpaper.jpg
5. Another example: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_oohbCCfc67o/TQsJfIkENeI/AAAAAAAAB_k/QOlUFMxHgCU/Hwang%20Mi%20Hee%207%20iPhone%20Wallpaper.jpg to http://lh4.ggpht.com/_oohbCCfc67o/TQsJfIkENeI/AAAAAAAAB_k/QOlUFMxHgCU/s1024/Hwang%20Mi%20Hee%207%20iPhone%20Wallpaper.jpg
6. Manually type the resolution in and hit 'return'. Now, right click and save the picture.
7. I know this is a hassle, that's why I'm posting album packs since Picasa changed the things work.
8. For the older posts posted with individual pictures; I'm sorry, you have to do the above.
9. Anyone have better solutions to this problem, feel free to post your comments below!
10. Thanks, and Happy Lunar New Year!
