Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
|
| Q: How can I add my photos to the Alumni web site? |
A: Personal photos that are not related to any Joshua School Event but are related to you and your family can be uploaded to your personal page by going through the Alumni or Employee sections, locating your information by year, by name, and then use the options box to ADD a photo.
Photos related to a specific Joshua School Event should be uploaded to the Events section for the specific event. If the Event has not been added, it needs to be added and approved, then you can upload the photos to the page for the specific Event. |
| Q: How can I scan my photos? |
A: For print photos that are 8.5 x 11 inches or smaller a home scanner works well. Make sure to scan the pictures to jpeg format with at least 300 dpi (dots per inch) with zero compression for decent results. If you do not have a scanner or know someone that can let you use their scanner, plenty of local retail and pharmacy establishments which have photo departments have decent scanners. If you use one of the local businesses for scanning photos, ask the person on duty for assistance with scanning your photos to a CD of photos. |
