Photo File Size

[Yamahahoo]

Anyone else having a problem with their photos being too big and thus cannot upload them to this site? All of my pictures are 1280 x 720 and therefore need to be downsized to somewhere around 800 x 900. Best place I have found to fix this is fixpicture.org ..... but it is still a bit of a drag.

pics need to be 640x480 for the site. There is an ad on photo sizer you can use called Power Toys , is very simple and easy.

Microsoft digital image came loaded on my computer. Resize everything with it.

Nice, not the case with my computer unfortunately. I just want to upload some pictures of last snowmobile season but I need to re size every single picture individually online!

Thanks blue, that program works great!

irfanview was also a great suggestion, thanks sxlover!

And MrSled are you sure its 640x480? I'm pretty sure the max is 800x900 which would give the best resolution.

Yeah I did a little searching on the forum and that seems to work best, so that's what I'm doing now, just wish there wasn't a limit of 5 per pics per post if it doesn't take up server space linking from photobucket.

Very nice! It would be cool if you could limit the amount of pics uploaded directly to the site separately from the ones that are linked from other sites like photobucket. Pics uploaded directly to the site take up way more server space.

They are controlled separately.... why would you need more then 10 pics per post... you can add another 10 in the next post??

Yeah exactly, I meant that you should keep the limit at 5 for the pics being uploaded directly to the site, and have the other one at 10, which may be what you already did, I wasn't sure if you set them both to 10.
