how do I down-size my pics...........every one of them that I try to load onto "my page" is too large file size............any ideas?
Thanks!

 

A couple of mine did that before. Not sure what it is called but on my digital camera you can select 8 pics, 20 pictures, or 90 pictures. If I use 8 pictures it won't load, but if I use 90 pictures it will load. I think it has to do with the size of the file it uses in the camera.

 

they have to be no larger than 750w by 750h. also file size 150k max. try re-sizing.

also, I tried loading a pic that was not a jpeg file. it was small enough. but, still would not show up.

 

cpaul, do you have software that will let you resize your pics? If not you will need to get software or maybe your camera has a setting on it that will take smaller photos.

 

1 right click on you picture and select open with Paint or Microsoft Paint
2 under the images tab if you click attributes it will tell you how big your picture is now (needs to be
750x750 or under, try and get it as close as possible so the pic is good size)
3 under the images tab click on stretch and skew
4 change the horizontal & vertical to 60% and click ok (60% is good to start off with, you may have to
try different combinations. I always click Edit undo if its not then try again with a different number)
5 under the images tab if you click attributes it will tell you how big your picture is now
6 save your picture as a .jpg file (.jpg will have a small file size) into an easly accessed folder
7 try uploading again to your page.

 

Thanks everyone!
I will give it a try today.

 

There is a great software called JpegResizer and its free, I can send it to you if you want...

BTW, is there any way to send files through the forum?

 

nice heritage chuck.
