Howto Autopost using PicPosterous v1.1

PicPosterous v1.1 for the iPhone has added some very useful improvements.
  1. Images can be *Deleted* from any Album managed by PicPosterous.
  2. Images can be added to *Any* of the Albums managed by PicPosterous, not just the most recent.
  3. You can Autopost an Album when it is *complete*, not just when it is created.
  4. You can *choose* which sites to Autopost to rather than Autopost to everything.
  5. You can share a link to a Gallery by email. The email includes a link to the Gallery and the first image.
Whilst 1. and 2. are obvious e.g. add a photo, Select Album, job done or tap Album, move to photo, tap Trash icon; I couldn't work out how to use the Autoposting (and  thus the email option), at first. These are the steps:

ipadio: Sends Directly To Posterous

After the initial success of the first SpinVox transcription, this one is a bit more flaky; or maybe it's my slurred speak. Still it's all quite magic.

Posterous required that I Confirmed the post before making it public. ipadio added the word 'ipadio: ' to the start of the title, so I've deleted my use of it in the title above.

Note: it does a "post@posterous.com" so the post appears on my Primary Posterous blog AND it is auto-posted to all auto-post accounts e.g. Twitter, WordPress, Tumblr.

How to send more than 5 photos using Mail on the iPhone

1. In the Camera Roll: tap the Forwarding button
2. Tap to on the photos to select then tap Copy
3. In Mail: Tap and hold down in the message area of the email. When the Magnifier Lens appears, release and tap Paste.

You can send upto 5 photos using the Share button but for more than 5, use copy and paste. An advantage of copy and paste is that this method will send the original sized image and avoid the photo resizing problem.

Note: There is a limit to the total size of the attachment sent by the iPhone 3G of 5MB. So if the photos are all taken at full resolution 1600x1200, it is likely that you will not be able to send more than 5 photos because the sixth photo would make the attachment greater than 5MB.

I described how to send just one original size photo on this post:

Update Note:

This was my first experiment sending iPhone app images from the iPhone to Posterous. What I learnt:

1. If you send an image from the Camera Roll using the Share button, the image may be resized either up or down from the original size, depending the size and image type of the original.

2. If the image is a PNG screen capture it is *not* resized. e.g. Corkboard by Catalypstwo - Pick from Today

3. If it is a JPG image saved by an app or camera to the Camera Roll, it is resized to 800px high even when the original is 480px high. e.g. this Monkey Island Montage image and Color Converter App

Therefore, to send iPhone screen captures, I use copy and paste of the Camera Roll image into Mail
