quiltaholi_518 Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I like how things look now, but I keep a folder for ideas, and tried to download a pic, and it's a weird file. Evidently you need their software to open the files? I had enough problems with them at first with spyware, I am NOT going to download any software from them, Any other ideas on how to download and view? Am I missing somewthing???

ramona-quilter Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I used to enjoy a few minutes before starting work and sometimes at lunch, viewing quilts on webshots. The site and software is so buggy it has recently been "blocked" by several government sites. I just wish that there was an alternative with the ease of uploads and gallery features that webshots has. I use www.photobucket.com for my "multiple photo" posts here and for my blog photos but it is not gallery style since it offers the web markup language that makes it so easy to use. And blogspot.com is becoming annoying, also. Up, down, up, slow, what is that all about? I use my blog as a journal mostly to remind me what thread, panto, stencil etc I used with various quilts. Anybody know of a reliable blog? It doesn't have to be free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I had a problem with my account with them and emailed in. They apparently are doing another upgrade next week. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieqwv Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I believe you must be a paying member of webshots now to download. I've used their softwear for about 5yrs and it works great .... I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I just want to get good enough to have a quilt to put a picture somewhere:o Beauty and I are still having discussions about who is boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltaholi_518 Posted October 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I am a premium customer of webshots, but now when you download, the file is a .wbz which of course my computer can't read. I had a nice little file going of quilting ideas! Now, no more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieqwv Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 You can dowload in .jpg format. The trick is to not enlarge the thumbnail. Yes the photo is smaller than we'd like but that's the only way to get .jpg format now. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyL Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Here's what works for me. Look down towards the bottom right of the picture and you'll see several icons. One has a small picture in front of a large picture and this gives you a full size picture. Click on that. When that picture opens, right click on it and if you're using Firefox, it says "Copy Image". If using IE, it just says "Copy". Do that and then open up Paint or PSP or whatever your photo editing program might be. Paste the image into there and save it however you'd like to save it.

guineasrule Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 It is even easier to right click on the picture (when it is in siide show mode) and choose "save picture as" and send it to the file of choose. Usually your picture file is a default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
