Greetings All,

The photo gallery has been updated: A community photo gallery for Southern Maryland. - Southern Maryland Online MultiMedia Gallery (http://photos.somd.com/)

A few of the changes & new features:

1) The thumbnail size has been increased to provide a better visual experience.

2) There is a Flash-based photo uploader which should simplify uploading images.

3) The layout has been tweaked to improve the browsing experience.

4) You can now upload larger photos (max of 1024 x 1024 pixels)

If you encounter any issues/problems, or have any suggestions, please feel free to share them here.

P.S. Anyone with a valid forums account can post photos in the gallery. Premo member have additional privileges.

Some Notes about uploading photos:

1) There is a minimum photo size of 240-wide by 200-high. If either of these fails, the upload will fail. For example, if your pic is 800 x 150, it will fail since it does not emet the minimum height requirement of 200 pixels.

2) Conversely, there is a maximum photo size of 1024 x1024. If either dimension exceeds the 1024, the upload will fail.

These can be a pain if you are doing a bulk load and just one of your pics is not right. The software will not tell you which one is the problem. I have put in a request to the developers to make the upload function smarter.

3) We are currently only supporting .jpg and .png files.

4) The new Flash-based uploader is great. I just uploaded 34 pics in one batch.

We just implemented a new style for the Photo Gallery that should be easier on the eyes and allow your photos to pop out more.
