In another thread, I got some good tips on digital cameras, but it looks like that's further in the future than I thought, so now I need to know about putting my 35mm on disk, like:

. Where's the best place to get this done.

. How easy (hard) is it to upload to my gallery.

. Does the site automatically re-size pix for posting.

. Any other info that will help a lo-tekkie like me.

Thanx.

Hey Art, i'm in the same boat. Film. here are some answers to your questions.
1.Walmart- cheap
2. easy to load on computer, just upload into my pictures.
3.No. you have to resize yourself.
This site has a free down load that will help you resize you pics. I'ts very easy to do.

On principal, I avoid Wal-Mart...Always low wages. Always.

Very easy. You'll have your disk in the D drive. When you click on "My Photo Gallery" from "My Account" there'll be a bunch of address boxes with a "Browse" button next to them. Choose D (oc C if you've moved your pic to your hard drive and double click on the pic you want to upload. When You've chosen how many you want, click the "Process" box.You'll have the option now of adding comments and tit;es before a final "Upload" click.

Get familiar with your photo editing software. You should be able to crop your pics with this and do some simple color enhancements as well before you send them off to your gallery.
