Gas Station Audits Question

Yes, I've tried it, but I find it easier to just keep my settings the same for all photos.

On my camera I don't have to change the setting. I just leave it on all the time.

>>>Can't you change the size on your camera settings to avoid resizing later?
Thank you so much MSJudi for the suggestion. I have absolutely no idea if I can change it to conform to the wishes of this one particular auditor or editor person she is a beast when it comes to reports. I have failed yet to please her 100%. I do great with the other people it seems, but not a certain gas station chain . I checked the camera but it doesn't allow a certain size like that.
LisaSTL I do not know what a micro setting is? is this on the camera or the computer. I just use my printer to upload receipts to the computer for my reports.

Re: Laptops in the Car

I keep my laptop in the carrying case, that provides some insulation from the extreme heat. It also rides on the floor behind the passenger seat [the floor of the car is always the coolest location]. I also went with the maximum legal tint allowed in my state [79%, IRRC]. While it doesn't eliminate the need for A/C, it does reduce it.

I haven't ever done uploads from the camera to computer in the car. If I find that I've gotten ahead of schedule by 30-45 minutes, I will stop at a McDonalds and get a drink and spend time on their Wi-Fi or with the computer and camera there just to keep things up to date.

For re-sizing photos, there is always the free software that Steri/Cori has on their website. I keep it on my laptop's desktop.
However, I hardly ever use it now. Like others have suggested, I went into my camera's menu and found the JPEG E-mail setting for photos. They are now accepted by all of my MSCs without having to re-size.
