Template: Renovation Kerfuffel

[Moonbeam]

We recently did major renovations so ehere's a page for your "reno's" .. Can anyone tell me something? If you have a whole album and want to upload it to share ( more than 1 page) how do you do it, keeping in mind the size restriction. I tried to "export" just one page but the whole album gets exported then it's far to large to upload to share... Any ideas how to upload just one page at a time?

Howdy! This is a cute page! It came up with 2 pages I love them both. Thanks for sharing

Howdy!

If you publish the template as images, it will compress the pages. I'm really impressed with this feature of Max! Then, make a zip file and upload it to the post here.

Ok. Here is the step by step deal.... Make a folder under My documents... Then in Max!, go to File, Publish to... Images. Click on Browse, and find the folder you created in My Documents. You can choose the quality also, but even at the best quality and highest image size, it will still compress into a small file size. Press ok.

Then, put the images into a zip file. You can now upload them to the post. If you want to upload them to the gallery, you can upload each one, of course, without zipping.

Hope this helps. This is what I have done with my images in the gallery.

Hey Granny... thanks! I have been in rush mode each time I pop in here lately .. I wish I had time to dwell and read and ponder...so what I've done I've copied your instructions and printed them .. and I promise I will try it out when I get a chance... soon I hope...just been to hectic lately and I hate it when I don't get any "me time" ...so thanks heaps - I will poste here and let you know

OK..It's 10pm - just got home and I am going to spend some time and do this Granny-
Thanks for the easy instructions.. I followed them no problem but the total of the 10 or so pages was 6.24mb...when I sent them to a compressed zipped folder it was stil 6.18mb and too large to upload... It didn't change the size much at all????

[Moonbeam]

Have tried again and have published again choosing a lesser quality and a smaller size picture... the file size was then 2.1mb and I sent it to a zipped folder but it was then 1.99mb.. not much difference???don't know why? so I have to upload it.. seeing the max size for a zipped file is 1.95mb it was refused so I will go back and delete one of the pages just to make it under the limit and see what happens

[Moonbeam]

Ok.. I think I did it.. I deleted 2 of the pages and that took the zipped folder to 1.67mb and it seems to have uploaded so here's hoping ... help yourself to them!!
There are TEN pages there but seeing you can't see them I have uploaded them to the Gallery so you can see them before deciding if you want to download them for yourself

Moonbeam, when I click on the zipfile, it tells me the templates are installed, but I can't find them as a template anywhere, only as a JPG. Could you try and upload them again, maybe just a few pages at a time. They are very lovely and I would love to be able to use them.

Thanks, Marion
