Information regarding photos/images usage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The photos/images files presented on this website does not intend to infringe on any copyrighted material. Its intention is to present information for personal use.
To Save an image/photo:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right click on your mouse and select 'Save Image As', then save it to a folder in your computer. If you'd like, please name the image to a file name that you are familiar with (tony-2013.jpg).
File Format:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In general, the internet images are in jpg (jpeg), or gif. Sometimes you will see extension ends with png, tiff, bmp, etc. If the file takes forever to load, you can either click on X (the very right corner of the URL window) to stop it from loading. If all things loaded correctly, a refresher icon will show up (a clockwise arrow). In general, most of the web images are less than 100kb.
Some of the images displayed on this websites are IMAGE LINKS. So if the file doesn't show up. It simply means the other site is slow (or encountering some traffic problems). When in doubt, RIGHT CLICK the image icon on your mouse, and find "View image info." It will tell you where the image resides.

Please Note: these files are mostly for internet usage. In general, they are good enough for digital prints (4X6 inches color printing). If you want something better looking, make sure to save the file in higher resolution (better definition) for printing purposes.
Please Note: if you are involved with filming, media, photo printing or other commercial outlet. Please double check your digital resources (digital storage) and its capacity for conversion (digital file size, touch-up, hue, saturation, color range, etc), migration (file formats, display formats), and other issues that might be involved.
The images in the photo galleries are displayed as thumbnails. To open it, click on it once. It will display a browser friendly version of the image (usually larger than the thumbnail). If you want the full-size (original copy) of the image, click on this 'browser friendly version of the image' again, a pop-up window will display the full-size (generally larger than the browser friendly version of the image).
Hence, there are actually three sizes of the same image (thumbnail, display image, and full-size). Please note, the full-size image may only be slightly larger than display.
The original copy that was sent to us may already been shrink to fit the browser which it displays. With so many items on the website, and potential of access issues, speed matters! |
