required. You normally may use them in reports, web sites, greetings,
advertisements, and other media.
A picture involving a person, people or private property may

like an advertisement or a business web site, special permission is
generally required. Since digital picture gallery normally does not

in these circumstances.

Many of the pictures in these galleries are low resolution. Low
resolution pictures are ideally suited for web sites were fast downloading
is needed. They are also normally fine for reports, personal
greetings, and other applications not requiring high resolution. Due
to their low resolution type they are not recommended for commercial
purposes like full color brochures, small posters and similar media.

Are picture links to Digital Picture Gallery allowed?
This all depends on what you mean. Please read the following
completely and carefully.
Hyperlinks
associated with the image or its title are encouraged. This means
when a person visits your web site and clicks on the picture or title text
they are directly sent to the Digital Picture Gallery home page.
This action essentially gives Digital Picture Gallery credit for the
photograph. This activity is most appreciated and will also benefit
you. Because as business for Digital Picture Gallery picks up, we
are more able to put up more online photographs for you to use.
However
direct linking is strictly forbidden. This is when the html
code is set up so Digital Picture Gallery is the source of the picture.
In example, no using an html command similar to: img src=http://digitalpicturegallery.com/.../???.jpg.
You are not allowed to use our server as a storage site for graphics on
your web site. Further this type of coding will also slow down the
response of your web site. So, first download the graphics to your
own server and access the graphics from it.

What is the
best way to edit these jpeg pictures?
Several steps are important. First
never edit the original photograph. Open it in your picture editor
and save it in a uncompressed format (TIFF, BMP, etc.). Now
edit the uncompressed file format picture and save it in the uncompressed
file format. If you need smaller version of the picture use the
picture file that was saved in the uncompressed format. Resize
the pictures and save the smaller picture under another name and if
desired in a compressed format like JPEG. If you take the original
JPEG and resize it, without converting it into another format, there is
considerable picture degradation because the resizing causes compression
over already compressed data.

My Browser will not allow me to save the JPG file in the JPG picture
format, it forces me to save the picture in BMP format!
Refer to section "Can't Save Files in JPG
Format" in Windows XP News Article Number 136 located at
www.winxpnews.com/?id=136. Below is the direct quote from this
article.
Can't Save Files in .JPG Format
Question: One question. I save pictures from web pages for
future use / storage. Normally these save as JPG files which is what they
are, however, recently when I right click on the picture and select Save,
Windows wants to save it as untitled.bmp. If I select Email Picture, it
will attach it as an email attachment and correctly identify it as a jpg
file. Any ideas what's wrong? -Simon C.
Answer: The most common reason for this problem is a corrupted
Temporary Internet Files cache. You might be able to fix the problem by
clearing the cache. Try this out:
- Open Internet Explorer
- Click the Tools menu and then click Internet Options.
- On the General tab, click the Delete Files option in the Temporary
Internet Files frame.
- Put a checkmark in the Delete all offline content checkbox in the
Delete Files dialog box. Click OK.
- Click OK in the Internet Options dialog box.
Hope this helps, if not bookmark the
fulfillment link location (this is the URL that you were redirected to
after making payment for the picture) so that you can come back to it
later after the problem is fixed on your computer. If you made the
payment and did not save the link then email us, let us know what picture
you purchased and your PayPal address so that we can trace your payment
and email the picture directly to you. We ask your patience in our
getting a response back to you. If we have not responding in a week
or two resend the original message and mention you how long you have
already waited for a response.
