Downloading photos using Flickr
This year the Hamilton Dante Center will be using the Photo sharing site www.Flickr.com to host pictures from the Summer Credit Course in Italy 2010.
For those parents and students who wish to obtain high resolution images from the credit course activities we suggest that you use the following instructions.

Locate the Link to the Flickr website
Click on the "flickr" link and you will be directed immediately to the Flickr site. The photo you want to download will be the first picture you see in the Hamilton Dante Centre photostream.
Locate the high resolution version of the photo.
Above the upper left corner of the picture is a magnifying glass and the text "all sizes." Click on term "all sizes." and a new window will open with a list of sizes from which to make a selection.
Choose a file size to download
Select a file size for the picture you wish to use. The larger the numbers - the larger the file size and the higher the resolution of the picture. For viewing on your computer the medium size works well. For printing pictures, choose the large or original size. In some cases, the large size may also be the original.
