File Size Upload Error for Pictures - Exceeded 2MB

[wmcaskey]

Am I doing something wrong or is there a better format for pictures? Simple pictures akin with the phone can’t be uploaded because of a file size error.

Morning Will,

I shared this earlier this morning;

Pix, for those large pix's a technique I use is the 'snipping tool'. Bring up your original shot on the monitor - open the snipping tool - crop exactly what you want or the entire thing. Save to desktop rename then upload. Uses a substantial less space that way . . .

This is a great tip. To resize photos for uploading, I use a photo editing program (Olympus Master) that I've had for years. I was unaware about how the snipping tool could resize. Very good to know, as it looks faster than using Olympus Master.

If you have a PC it comes with paint. Open the picture with it and click on resize. You don't have to crop and loose any of the picture. If the file is 4 meg, you can resize to 25%, save and the file will be less then 1 meg usually.

I posted this link in another post regarding pictures. I use it and it is dirt simple and you do not lose aspect ratio. You can make them KB size vs MB's. Big difference when you want to send by email or even post here.
