Photo too big

Trying to upload a photo I took today but it keeps getting rejected for being too large. Can anyone offer me advise on how to down size it.

Cheers Ken

Right click on the picture, 'Open with...' 'Paint', go to 'Image' on the tool bar, click on 'Stretch/Skew', then reduce accordingly. I normally take my pictures down to 20% and that does it. Click on 'File', then 'Save as...'. Job done. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

You can download a little programe called PicSizer byAxiomx.

You can take a whole folder of huge pictures and reduce all them in minutes.

You select the source folder and then create a new folder to send them too.

I also use this site for single pix.... http://www.shrinkpictures.com/


One tip - Never reduce or crop an original picture - always copy it and play with the copy. There is no going back if you make a mistake.
