Dear UHH members,
This is a bit difficult to explain, but I find that my computer seems to have a mind of its own.
When I create a set of photos the program will not accept “save original” and any photos that I put into a set are mostly about 5x7 but some are 10x12 on the screen. Neither size will accept the "Save Original" trigger. I have tried dimensioning my photos both by size and by Pixels but that normally does not change anything.
When I open other UHH sets, the photos always are the larger size and when I click on download, the image shrinks to the smaller size.
I am assuming the issue relates to my computer settings but have not been able to find a clue to fix anything.
I would appreciate any solution ideas and will try any recommendations given.
Thanks in advance.

If I'm understanding you the problem may be that you're using "Save Original" when you should be using "Save As..." or just "Save" or perhaps "Save Edit". It's the edit that you want to save but if you use "Save Original" it will literally save the original unedited file.

Thanks for the idea.
I just went back to the UHH site and discovered that the option called for is "store original". This is what is not working on my machine. At any rate, that is the only option given and I am still stuck.

Further note: I just went back and determined that the sequence of commands is add attachment and then strike the store original box. I will shortly experiment to see if I have been doing this in incorrect order.
More later.
Thanks again.

If I'm understanding correctly your problem is with respect to posting images to UHH and using the "(store original)" check box.
As for sequence of commands the way I do it is,
a) Select 'Choose File', go to location and select it.
b) Check (tick) the '(store original)' box.
c) Select 'Add Attachment'.
I believe there is a file size limit, someone will answer that.

20MB and if you want the image to appear rather than just a link it has to be in one of the preferred formats (jpg, DNG, PNG, TIFF).

Grahame,
Thanks, but that is precisely the way I have been adding photos to set. I am sure the issue is somehow with my computer settings but cannot be certain.

If you save your image as jpeg then 20MB would allow for very large image.
Hi,
Thanks, I will check this out a bit later today.

So I don't think any of them is larger than 20MB and thus the problem isn't the large size.

For posting on UHH, if the file is larger than 20 MB it won't take it. If too small, it will take it, but NOT store original. Very small files are considered "thumbnails". I don't remember the lower limit.
