Photos of last night's dinner

Last night i made a macadamia nut, coconut halibut and it seamed to be a little black from sauteing in canola...what do you think? Should i have just popped it in the oven instead of the saute first....

I love your plates!

I think a little larger will be better, too. Usually I'm all in favor of smaller pictures because with my size computer screen, many posted here are too large and I have to do the arrow thing to view them. But yes, a little larger...

What I usually do to mine is resize to 640 x 480, and then crop, or reduce by 70 or 80 % to comfortabley fit the screen. IMO, the best food photographer here is pcarpen... I'm still working to achieve the clarity of his photos!

Life is short; eat the cheese course first.

In this case size does matter. There is not enough motion and they are too small :laugh::raz:

I thought they were thumbnails and kept clicking them frantically for a few minutes.

I'm better now.

If you have Windows software, you likely have Microsoft Photo Editor. Image=>Resize set to pixels instead of inches. Click until the largest dimension is 640 pixels. Save it and now you can put that image into ImageGullet.

I know nothing about posting photos. But I really like your plates.

I love the plates too - very nice. Yes... resize them a bit bigger. There's a nice free utility called PIXresizer that will easily do all your pics in a group and allows you to set them all to the same size. In response to a pic posting question in hte Pastry and baking forum a few days ago, I revived a thread that has some tips on the resizing and posting process - plenty of helpful info in the thread...

Posting pictures with Imagegullet

I don't think PIXresizer is available for Mac but not sure about that. I will suggest that you consider trying to get the plates in a spot under a bright light and disable the flash - I've been getting better, more natural looking results by doing that.
