awsome thanks, very helpful

 

Okay, Speedy, but what if my file is too BIG? How do I fix it so that I can attach?

 

You need to make your photo smaller...

I use Photoshop to reduce the image size. There are other programs out there. You could try a search of this site.

 

1. open the picture(with MSpaint or whatever program)
2. click File--->save as
3. when the save screen pops up change the --save as type--- window to JPEG

upload the new version of the file.

 

Thanks, guys! It worked!

Hi,

I haven't looked at all the posts on the forum but has anyone suggested or tried putfile or photobucket ?

 

sorry forgot to mention but the site addresses are
www.photobucket.com and
www.putfile.com


both are free and image hosting is a breeze.

 

thanks for the advice

 

I know this is old but it comes up a lot on forums. For many I think Microsoft's Power Toy is the easiest way to reduce the size of pictures for forums and email. It's free... Find picture, right click, choose size, done.

This is what you want...

Image Resizer
This PowerToy enables you to resize one or many image files with a right-click.

 

thanks

 

thanks that helps alot, But what if you use Linux the free software?

png is actually better for the archived copy of a photo you have. To get the photo under size for uploading here, you are better off THEN converting after to JPEG after resizing. The JPEG format is called a LOUSEY compression format because it looses image information each time you alter and save the image.

PS - This is one reason why it is better to just copy and rename a graphic from a digital camera rather than saving it under a new name with an image program.
