Every time I try to post a pic it tells me the same thing, Is there some way to fix this (my) problem? Could it be because I'm using a 2.1 mega pixal camera?? The pictures are smaller then the ones being posted.

Firefish,

What file format are the pictures that you are trying to post in? (i.e. *.jpg)

Hi Spasse, This is the path that appears in the attachment window.

If you take a pic using "High Quality" on a digital camera, even in JPEG format, it is going to be fairly large (My camera comes out at about 1 MB per picture).

The BB only allows 100K (1/10th of that), so you have to use Photo Editor or something of that nature to shrink the picture in size or quality.

Keep in mind that monitors only display at 72 dots-per-inch, whereas your camera is probably taking pictures at 300+ dots-per-inch, so you have a lot of room to shrink without losing much.

HTH,

Rob

When I send pics via e-mail using MSN, it tells me that the size of the pic is about 420k....My camera allows me to choose between 3 photo quality settings, basic - fine - superfine. Even on basic it says it's too large. I'll try cutting the photos down to thumb-nail size (if I can figure out how to!)....

[Firefish]

lets see if this posts....ooops, sorry guys, I'll try to shrink it!! Looks like crap though Huh? I had to lower the quality from 90 to 17! It's my 72 gallon AGA bow front, pics about 2 months old..... I can't figure out how to shrink it!

You could start reducing the file size by reducing image size.

I cant figure out how to reduce the img. size!!

[Firefish]

Ok, I deleted the last pic and I'll post it again, I hope I got it to shrink!!
.....Well, I got the pic to shrink but the field is still too big, This is such a pain in the a$$ I'll keep on tring...

Thanks SHOG, I'm tring to get the photo to fit into the field...I'm having a tough time doing it, bare with me here... Ugggg! I give up, now the pics big again, I'm going for a walk!!!

[SomeHairyOldGuy]

Here is a old proverb for yeah.
IF IT AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT!
seriously if the pic is showing up then i would not worry about it. unless you are the perfectionist type and just wont be happy until it fits in the field?
Good luck,
SHOG

Firefish,

You can edit the pic using an online photo editor. www.myimager.com

Firefish,

The reason we limit images to 100K is because hosting charges for any BBS are influenced by how much space that you are using.

Big graphics really chew up space.

This is why a free web site space like homestead.com makes such sense.

Then of course, Reefland itself is not “burdened” with all of those files.

I will send you a shareware photo editor that I use a lot.

Scott

Firefish,

My file size limiter spit out the file attachment I tried to send you.

Here is the path to this editor, PhotoSuite : http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0...lst-7-1.874217

[Firefish]

Thanks Scott, I'll check it out right now....Also, I wasn't complaining about Reefland, You Mods are doing a fantastic job Nothing but luv for this place

[SPasse]

Firefish,

Don’t worry, I didn’t take you post as a criticism. Direct photo posting rather than using the link method is just something that can grow into a monster, real quick, as far as a storage concern.

Scott
