How do I get Premium Membership?

The first step is to register as a member of AmateurCool from the members page. When you activate your standard membership, you will see a section that talks about upgrading your membership. Click the link (which goes here). You will then be able to choose the length of your premium membership and the payment method. If you are already a standard member, you may upgrade to Premium Membership after you login, on the Your Account page.

Is this site just becoming another Pay Site?

No. As we have continually stated we will not be removing any existing functionality for non paying users. We will simply be adding extra functionality to reward those that support us either by donations that were prior to the introduction of Premium Membership, or by upgrading to premium membership.

How do I use my Premium Membership?

To see the Big Pictures (BigPix) or videos on the site, you will first need to login to the site. You may do this from the top right hand corner of any page. Once you have logged in and you visit the Photos section you will note that there are no banner ads and you will see some text under the photos that have a "BigPix" version. To view it simply click on the photo. Photos that don't have a big version will not be "clickable". You will also be able to view the videos in the same way you view the big pix. You will need to log in each time you visit the site to enable the "Bigger Picture" ;-)

How Big are Premium Membership "BigPix"?

BigPix will vary in size, but they are all over 800 pixels wide. Some BigPix are as large as 2048 pixels wide. BigPix typically now come from 3,4,5 and even 6 Mega Pixel Digital cameras, these pictures are better than film quality.

How do I ensure that Pictures I upload are classed as "BigPix"?

Any picture larger than 800 pixels wide will be classed as a "BigPix". When taking your photos - make sure that your digital camera settings are set to the best possible quality. This is normally called "fine" or "superfine" and the size should be the largest size your camera supports. Your camera will need to be at least 2 MegaPixels to take pictures large enough to be classed as a Big Pic..

I have a Re-Billing Plan, where do I cancel it?

If you chose the super cheap re-billing plan, we email you 3 days before we renew it each month, offering you a reminder to cancel if you want. If you want to cancel it now, you can cancel it here

Videos

Why can I only see the sample videos and not the ones in the thumbnail area?

Because of the cost of delivering videos, we have had to make the videos available only to Premium Members. Premium Membership also allows you to see much larger and better quality photos, so at less than $16.66 per month (based on 6 month membership) it is good value. Become a premium member (after you have become a standard free member) simply by upgrading from the upgrade page.

How do I make Videos to send??

Most digital still cameras now capture movie files as well! Once you have filmed your movie - download it to your PC as you would your still images. You will find the movie has a file suffix such as AVI (Earlier Canons) or MPG (Sonys) or maybe even .MOV (later Canons). It doesn't matter what the suffix is - just upload it here and we will convert it to something that everyone can view easily.
