Use a site like photobucket (it's free) and attach the photo from there and then the size will not matter. After uploading the photo to Photbucket just click on the area where it says Img (forth box under the photo) and you will copy the img to your clipboard. In your dialog box on cointalk press Ctrl+V and the image link will be pasted into your post on CT.

Ask questions if you have any.

 

First convert it to a JPG. If still too large, and that is hard to believe, email me and I'll give you some room to put your pictures on.

Not a problem.

Like Ruben says, convert it to a JPEG. Always works for me.

 

It was the photo size that gave me a problem. Anybody care to comment on grade I'd like to compare with my own quess to help me learn. Thanks for your help guys.

 

Mine does that to because my mom decided to go overkill with her camera and buy one that has 12.4 megapixels. :goof:
So her pictures are 2.9-4 megabytes each.
So what I do is go to photobucket upload the pics, and then click resize to 1 MB.
Then there is a button you click to get a direct link to it so you upload it here.

 

First make a copy of your photo, and then do the following to your copy. This way your original photo format and resolution will not be changed.

Open your copy with Photo Manager.

Select Edit Photo

At this point, you can crop, brighten, re-size, etc your photo. In order to compress your photo to a smaller file size, select compress photo & select one of the file sizes.

Select OK

Exit Photo Manager. You will be asked if you want to save the changes you made to the photo(s). Select YES if you like what you did.

Genuine Net Xf

The Morgan's luster looks to have been cleaned-away. My guess at the photo is GENUINE NET XF.

Yup same problem with my camera. So I downloaded Picasa photo shop from google and you can export photos to another folder, when you do that you can resize them. Seems to have worked pretty good. I do appreciate all the help though!

 

Its a morgan I picked up as a kid so I dont have any history on it so it may well have been cleaned. Lack of experience on my part but I'm learning!

 

This post is a mistake sorry!
