Re: camera people please help my pics are too big

Tell us what uploading program you're using. Also, are you on PC or Apple. Do you upload direct or via an application on your computer. Details please.
 
Re: camera people please help my pics are too big

I'll give it a go.

Not sure what the limit on photos is but a photo taken with a 10mp camera for example is meant to be printed as a photograph so is very hi-res. For a pic on here you want it sized like a newspaper of magazine so you can see the text around it.

I put my pix in Microsoft Paint or Picture Viewer and then resize (30% is ok for on here).
Alternatively the picture sites like Photobucket also let you edit the pictures by resizing. Then add the link to your sub.

Just make sure you keep a full res copy of the original !

Hope this helps.

Limit on here is around 500kb...search on google for a free online picture editor if you want to change the resolution or if you run windows "paint lets you resize...

Looks like a sony DSC-WX7 photo, I would hazard a guess it was taken on 27 April at 11:33am;-)
You want to look for compression settings and crop the pictures a bit.
This is a bit excessive but it's cropped and compressed 50%, so it's under 10% of the size. The bike frame is the same size.
