Posting Your Image on the Internet or an Online Service

America Online (AOL) has Photoshop forums where members can upload images to make them available to other members. Remember, it takes time to upload and download images — so keep the images fairly small and save them in the JPEG or GIF format. (See Chapters 3 and 18 for more about these formats.)

Also, tons of Photoshop-related sites are on the Web. If you enter Photoshop in your favorite search engine, you’ll be surprised at the number of matches you see.

If you happen to have your own Web page — or know someone who does — you can also add your image to the page, making them available to Web surfers worldwide. You can post your images easily by choosing File Automate Web Photo Gallery. (Visit www.dummies.com/go/photoshop_cs_fd to find out more.) And as I mention earlier in this chapter, Mac users can use iPhoto and Windows users can use Photoshop Album to create an easy Web page that displays Photoshop images.

Just in case you haven’t gotten enough of me through the course of reading this book, by the way, you can check out my Web page at the following URL: www.dekemc.com. It offers some Photoshop tips and tricks along with a bunch of other stuff, including lots of shameless self-promotion. But hey, what’s the point of having a Web page if you can’t brag a little, right?
