Try adding "-tmp.jpg" instead of "?.jpg".Jason
Bob Gilmore's method worked for me. Thanks Bob!I'll have to make sure I only upload the photos I plan to actually post to Google Photos to keep the photo numbers manageable.
...From there it's the old left-click copy and paste image URL where you can manually adjust the image size at the end of the URL. You only need to do the width and the height will adjust automatically. Jason
Just to simplify things, I just spent about an hour figuring out and testing how to upload to Google Photos, and get them to post here at TRW.It's not complicated, but not as easy as posting from now discontinued and no-longer-accessible Picasa except through Google Photos Album Archive.I won't 'splain how to upload your photos, since that's easy to figure out.Just to clarify, I'm running Win7 Pro 64bit, so if you're using a Mac or a newer/older Win OS, or Linux, then your experience might be different....Here's how to make your photos appear here from Google Photos:(1) Go to Google Photos here: https://photos.google.com You have to be signed on in your Google account, and all of your Picasa uploads will be there in their respective albums after you sign on. If you're at Picasaweb, you're really in Google Photos. As far as I can tell, the old Picasa website isn't extant any longer.(2) Click on an album and then right click on a photo you want to post here. Then click on "Copy Image Location"(3) At TRW when you're in the posting menu, right click where you want your photo to appear and press "Paste"(4) Go to the end of the code you've just pasted, and without any spaces type ?.jpg This applies if your photo is a jpg I assume. All my uploads at Picasa were jpg's so if yours are bmp's or tif's, or RAW files, I don't know.(5) Highlight the code you've just added to, then click on the "Insert Image" icon in the post menu toolbar(6) Write the rest of your post just like you normally do here and review or post it.(7) Your image will appear in your post just like it used to using Picasa with the exception that as far as I know, Google Photos doesn't give you a choice as to the size you want it posted, and in my case, the photos were posted here in a nice "large" size. (8 ) Jason let us know that varying the size of the photo posted is possible after you've copied the "image location" and pasted it here, by going to the end of the URL, where the width and height are specified, then replacing the width ( w ) numbers with how small you want it to appear here...for example ...w1533 with w800. Height ( h ) will automatically adjust, so leave it alone. Very cool...Hope this makes it easier for those of you who haven't figured out how to post photos from your old Picasa albums yet.Cheerio!Bob Gilmore
