i recently bought a digital camera (coolpix 2500) for recreation use... i took couple pictures and they look fine on my computer... but whenever i send it though an e-mail or host it on the webspace, the pictures come out all distorted (on some of them it doesn't even come out)... i am kinda clueless to what is wrong...

i take pic in 640x480 on normal photo quality setting and i don't resize them or nothing... i just use the nikon view 5 to import them into my computer and i don't touch it... ne one have any ideas?

i can't put pics up here because i got my free webspace taken away (sometype of unauthorized use or something... so i am looking for one now) if you want to see what i am talking about and might be able to help plz e-mail me ^^ thanks

 

i don't know what type of file the camera itself uses... but after i import the pic from my camera to my computer (using nikon view 5 software), the pic is in .jpg format...

 

but the pics are looking funky over email too..

does the picture just look fine on the software that you use to get the pictures off the camera, or does it look fine even when you open the jpg that the nikon view 5 software makes?

 

what software are you using?
are u just using the stuff nikon gave you?
might want to ask a BAIC member if you can BORROW a copy of adobo photoshop, so you can see if you like it. I had some crappy software with the camera i am using right now, and all the pics turned out like poo poo... Anyway, yeah, umm, maybe there are certain "parameters" in regards to the email you are using, or the website you are trying to attach the file too..Like on this website, you can only attach pics that are so large in file size..maybe that is what is happening
lol i dunno..good luck though

 

go download PAINT SHOP PRO instead for a free 30 day trial.

the PSP version 8 just came out and that will kick ***...

 

thanks for all the replies...

i just took some more picture and looked at it using

windows picture and fax viewer
windows paint
nikon view 5 (the software that came with the camera)

and they all look fine

BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT (sorry for the buts )
i sent an e-mail to myself using my hotmail account... and the pictures look distorted, has noise... i don't think it has to do with quality... on some pictures there is so much noise that you can't even see the pictures... the average size of my pic is about 75kb... i used to send and recieve other pictures through hotmail and they were fine... i don't know what is going on... anyone have any clue? or had similar problems? thans in advance ^^

 

Time to look at that manual and find out what file formats your camera is saving the image as.

Send a few of those pics this way: kym@kymphan.net

 

pic sent~ ^^ i hope you can figure out what is wrong.. thanks for trying to help me out here guys ^^

 

yeah send them to me also if you have time (maybe there are a few pics of some hot women :wink haha


dorifto88@hotmail.com

 

try this. winzip the file and send it to yourself...

see if the file gets wacky

 

as ldivinag suggested, i zipped my picture and sent it to myself... after recieving the e-mail, i download the zipped file and tried to extract the pic out, and i CAN'T~!! it says there was an error... -_-a

edit: driofto~ yes there were few... but i didn't send them hehehe they are mine~!!!!

 

okay... next test.

zip it and then immediately, try to unzip it.

if it goes out fine, then try to send it out.

also, you can try to check the MD5 value of the zipped up file before and after.

you can download a dos version of an MD5 utility. click here for a description:

http://userpages.umbc.edu/~mabzug1/cs/md5/md5.html

if the MD5 values are diff, something is wacky with your ISP or your email program when it sends it out as attachement.

keep trying...

send me your email addy and i can test send you a nude pix of anna kournakova. see if you open that... [insert evil smiley]

 

I so didn't get an e-mail. Try again. kym@kymphan.net

 

kym~~ i sent the pic out again to that address.. hope you get it...

ldivinag~~ you have pm~

and i tried zipping and unzipping the pics right away, and they unzip fine and they look fine...

haven't tried checking the md5 value yet.. i'll do that soon..
