40plyguy Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 I've tried posting pics of my 40 Plymouth but everytime I get a message saying the pictures are too "large", too many bites I guess. How can someone who is not very computer savvy take care of that problem? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P15-D24 Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 You shouldn't have to downsample large images anymore. It's done automatically when uploaded. This pic of Sunny, our new helper was 2.6 mb, but after uploading it was automatically downsampled to 70 kb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desoto1939 Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 I always set my camera to the lowest possible image size that is made for sending with email attachments and with this setting I have no issues with attaching a picture on the forum.

DrDoctor Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hmmm . . . For an old fudd like me, being “electronically challenged” isn’t all that bad. I can’t send photos, so I’ve never even tried to master the task. Altho’, photos DO help clarify things. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just try dragging it to the paper clip area below this text box when you reply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40plyguy Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I did the paperclip thing and got a message that the picture was too "big". As soon as one of my kids makes it over here, I'll have them show me what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desoto1939 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 trying to post a very large resolution picture get message that you can only upload a 3mb file. tried the drag option and did not permit me and also used the choose files option. so i think that the size of the image does matter and suggest that you take a picture at the lowest resolution.

DrDoctor Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Man . . . I still miss my Big Chief Tablet, and my box of 16 Crayola crayons. Along that same line—paper charts were a lot cheaper, and easier to use, than the EMR’s (electronic medical record systems) of today. Phones were for talking, and cameras were for taking photographs, and televisions were for watching (and they didn’t watch you back . . .). It’s been said that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Well, I’ve never seen an occasion where that holds true. Man . . . I really do still miss my Big Chief Tablet, and my box of crayons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb1949 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hi Res photos are nice. Just pick one of the many FREE picture editor programs to reduce size when needed. I use MS PAINT most often, it's on every computer. Just save altered images under a different name than the original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
