OK, BifRayRock's and Chuchaluck's photographs are again jigsaw puzzles on my computer.
I know we've discussed this numerous times in the past. What do I have to do on my end to correct this problem? I know it's possible because I just noticed if I go to 'quote' a past post, and then keep scrolling down to previous posts on the same page, the photographs that were once 'jigsaws' are corrected. So why don't they appear that way the first time around? __ I use Windows Vista..Google Chrome. |
My apologies. I think decent viewing has everything to do with screen size and resolution. I have been able to view everything stitched together on both laptops (15" - 17") and and a large desktop monitor (27") and that includes several different operating systems and browsers (XP, Vista, W7 and Apple; IE, Firefox and Safari). On a phone or small tablet, it seems very problematic, as one might expect with much larger photos. Viewing some of the older lower resolution photos on a larger screen can be very disappointing. The by-word being the largest and highest resolution will be appreciated in the future. Sadly, not everything is compatible - yet. Perhaps some of the regulars can chime in with what equipment they are using.
I can only suggest trying to zoom in or out to see if the images become viewable. I was attempting to methodically transfer everything to a third party host when I was shut out. If only this site would host photos, but even that is no guarantee of future unfettered access. FWIW, all of the images we have recently posted are from one source. http://hdl.huntington.org/cdm/compou...d/19849/rec/63 :shrug: |
Thanks for your help Chuckaluck. I'll try to figure it out with your suggestions.
__ Here are a couple interesting photographs of Hollywood dated 1929. I don't believe we've seen them before on NLA. streets-unknown http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102.../834/rz3ys.jpg ebay above: I am intrigued by that small patch of eucalyptus trees up on the hill. I don't see a home on the lot, so I wonder who planted them (since eucalyptus are non-native to California). http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102.../834/492xu.jpg ebay Especially intriguing in this view is that stand alone house on the hillside. ___ It looks like there's a barricade at the cross street, lower left.

The best solution is to screengrab the images from these sites rather than hotlinking. This means that a (free) image hosting site like Photobucket, Flickr, ImageShack etc. must be used, but it's the best way to do it. Firstly, the image is a single block, so it won't become a jigsaw. Secondly, it preserves a copy of the original image even if the original image disappears or the site reorganizes its image locations. This is especially true of sites like eBay where images have a very short lifespan - I've noticed fairly recent posts on NLA (less than two months old) where hotlinked eBay images are already missing. I hope someone is still archiving the pages! I'm well aware that for some members, the two paragraphs above may as well have been written in a foreign language. Please feel free to send me a PM for further instructions, or post your queries in the forum so that other members can chip in with help and advice. I'm sure we all have different ways of reaching the goal. While I'm throwing my two cents in, can I also make a plea for members to stop quoting entire image-heavy posts, especially when they're only adding one or two new images. Please try to reduce your quote to a relevant image or two so we know what you're talking about. The little blue arrow to the right of the original poster's name inside the quote provides a link back to the original post for anyone who wants to check it out. For the record, this issue was first raised as far back as page 403/404. Again, feel free to PM me if you want a quick run-through. |

I tend to view this thread via laptop while on the move. Unless I am working with a large desktop monitor, a screen capture is impractical. This is true even with a third party host. I've tried zooming out to capture the full high-resolution image only to find that the saved image is unacceptably small - thus defeating the exercise. Can you suggest a screen capture program or other methodology that might work with smaller, laptop (windows) formats? What equipment-software are you using and - um er, I assume you have no problem viewing posts? With respect, reposts are sometimes hard to avoid. At one point I tried to revise earlier posts to include new finds. Obvious problem is that the new find in a revised post will often be overlooked by most long time viewers. As you suggested, providing a link to the original post or reposting an edited version of the original are probably the only realistic answers. There are times though, where it is nice to see many other photos in context or for comparison's sake and this could require an image-heavy repost. :hi: :shrug: :cheers: |

Also, my 2 cents, if I want to use one of the USC photos I scroll to the top of the photo and hit the SAVE button. A menu drops down and gives you a choice of which size you want to save to your computer. I think a direct SAVE is better than a screen grab[if USC offers it]. Here I have hit the SAVE button and a menu drops down. The only caveat is that USC does not allow one to SAVE certain photos....I don't know why...maybe they only want to sell certain photos. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps94ecc05d.jpg USC page |

You may be able to get a slightly bigger image by pressing F11 to enter 'Full screen' mode before you make your screengrab (works in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome). My laptop has a hi-res screen, which makes creating large screengrabs much easier. This has the side effect of corrupting some of your images. Here's how your recent picture of Santa Monica Blvd. and Highland appeared for me: http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...e.jpg~original At least you include a link to the original image :tup:. BTW, this doesn't always happen, so maybe you could test it by zooming out (press Ctrl- a few times). A well-placed carriage return (pressing 'Enter') will probably sort it out :). Quote:
Another tip for members who aren't that familiar with USC: When you're adding the link for your picture, don't just copy the address at the top of your browser, click on 'Share' and 'Reference URL'. This will give you the option of referencing an individual photo within a set. |

I am also wondering if the stand alone house on the hillside -- apparently with one dormer -- is 2000 N. Gramercy Place. The house seems to be in about the right spot in relation to the background: http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...c.jpg~original Google Earth 2000 N Gramercy Place -- with two dormers -- is at lower left in this 1924 photo (I'll wait while you scroll back up to compare): http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...c.jpg~original LAPL -- http://jpg3.lapl.org/pics42/00070725.jpg (previously posted here: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=17740) I will hazard a further, not-very-confident guess that the intersection in the foreground of er's photo(s) is Carlton Way (1 blk so. of Hollywood Blvd) and Wilton Place (1 block west of Gramercy). |

Railroad Crossing. Also note the warning sign and bell adjacent to the building at the right side of the frame and the track in what I'd guess is Alameda St. before LAUPT was built. Great set of pics, BTW! Thanks for posting! |

Go to your Control Panel Home. Go to Appearance and Personalization Click on Adjust Screen Resolution Mine is set on 1280 by 768 pixels (I think you move the slider to adjust it) Click on Apply, Yes, and then OK to make the change See if this helps. If the kids were around, I might have a better answer for you. I'm still trying to figure out the 'smart' phone I got last week. I think it may be smarter that I am. |
Eucalyptus, I calyptus, we all calyptus

I found a retelling of it on the KCET site: http://www.kcet.org/updaily/socal_fo...alifornia.html Did you know that Abbot Kinney was State Forester from 1886 to 1888? While he was not the one who introduced the tree to this area, he was a huge promoter of it. People were intrigued by its quick and sometimes spectacular growth. People got the idea that the trees could provide quickly the lumber the area would need to grow. This led eventually to a speculative craze wherein people planted every spare patch of ground with the tree, sometimes ripping up profitable crops to do so. The market collapsed once people figured out that eucalyptus wood is worthless as lumber, because of its utter lack of dimensional stability. The tree has endured nonetheless. |
Happy 4th Of July
