Back by popular demand, GFAR is holding another webinar open to GFAR and CGIAR partners as well as other nonprofit organisations and individuals working in agriculture, agricultural research eco-systems and sustainable development.
The online webinar will be held on June 22nd at 13:00 CET (and will last about 1.5 hours).
The topic will be “Pictures: a website’s blessing or curse?”, a practical webinar, showing how to find, and process pictures which are a blessing, rather than a curse, for your website or blog.
Part 1: How to find appropriate pictures for your blog/website (or web content).
This means pictures which are:
– appropriate in topic
– good quality
– and most importantly, are not copyrighted.
Part 2: How to process pictures before uploading them
Here we want to share some of the inside workings of a web browser, when viewing pictures, and explain, why so many blogs and websites are slow, just because of the pictures they use.
We’d like to show the one and only (free) tool we use, to process (edit, enhance, crop, shrink and compress) pictures before uploading them, while maintaining an excellent quality. (hint: and it ain’t Photoshop!).
Register now!
