VoigtlanderImages message board

If you upload photos and don't see a lens to assign the photo, please let me know and I will add it to the list of lenses you can add to your lens collection.

As you may or may not recall, Voigtlanderimages.com was originally dedicated to host images taken with Voigtlander / Cosina lenses. There were quite a few members sharing their work on the site. The one day it was removed by mistake along with its backup. Ever since it has been non existent. However, just recently I managed to find some old backups and together with some Sherlock Holmes work, I put together what I think we had before.

If you come across any issues let me know so I can address them.

So I have noticed that my images look fuzzy on the website. The reason being is because I have a 4k monitor and my display settings on the computer is set to 150% so things don't look so small.

Lightroom knows about this and handles the pixels density and ratio properly. However, the web browsers do not. Therefore, in my case, images look 150% and pretty bad.

having said that, If I export from lightroom and save as a 4000 pixel image, the its scaled down in the browser a little and it looks decent.

Here is an example of the image exported in 4000 pixel

compared to 2000

I can try and code around this but I thought this would be a temporary solution.

This is what lead to the ability to replace existing photos.

Creating a story still lets you present your a photographic story using your photos from the gallery. The process is quite simpe.

Go to your dashboard and click on Manage stories from the Manage options menu on the left. Or, use the top menu under Stories.

If you do not have any stories started yet, you will get a message. Simply click on the Add a new story button to create a story.

Give the story a title and some content in the form that you see. Then click on Submit new story.

Don't worry. Its not published yet.

Now add the photos you wish to include in your story by clicking on the Add photos link on the manage your story page. Clicking on this link brings you into the familiar edit edit photo options you have already used before. All your photos will be displayed in order to assign them to stories. However, to minimize clutter, only the Stories option is available. Your are simpl;y selecting the pictures you wish to include in your story at this time.

Just make sure to click on Apply edits under each photo to save your changes. If you want to make changes afterwards, just refresh the page.

Done adding photos to your story? Just click on Manage stories from the top menu and you will be back at the basic story management menu.

You will now see Edit photos link instead of the Add photos link.

Click on it and from, there add the content you wantto display for each photo, set the display order or remove photos from the story.

As you hover over each photo, the edit options will appear. Just make changes and click on Submit edits.

Use the Display order field to set the order in which the photos appear. 1 would be at the top, followed by 2, etc ... If you messed up and want to stick another picture between 1 and 2, give it a display order of something like 1.5.

Also you can use any number values, you can start with 10, and increment to 20 or 25 ot whatever. Just remember the display order in the story is based on the numeric value you assign.

If you check the Publish checkbox, and apply changes, your story will be published and visible to others.

To view stories, simply click on Stories from the top menu. Click on the title of a story to view the story.

Layout of the images on the story are balanced between left and right of the page. This is automatically done for you and you have no control over that.

Here is an example of a story on www.leicaimages.com .

Ever wanted to replace a photo with a better quality version of it or higher resolution without losing links, views, likes, comments etc... ? Well now you can. I added the ability to replace an image.

Simply click the edit options for the image and Follow the link under the "Replace image" option.
