can anyone explain to me why my pics which were uploaded with the same camera, same program, same everything, are all of a sudden displaying at a gazillion pixels and bytes? I am not a techi (obviously) but I didn't have this problem before. I can't seem to find any place to change the size before uploading so am I missing something?:banghead:
You might check in the cameras settings, perhaps the quality of the photos being taken was increased... you would see a significant increase between, say, 2.1 meg snapshot quality and 4.1...
Other than that, I know *nothing*. Wish I could be more helpful.
It's likely because your computer screen is 1024x768 pixels and a ten megapixel picture is 3888x2592 pixels....or...about twelve times larger than your screen. When I resize pics for internet consumption, I always try to resize down to 800x600 to keep it forum friendly. If you're not tech-savvy, try getting a photobucket account. You can upload your pics, resize them easily and photobucket will even give your premade 'tags' that you can copy and paste directly into the forums will ease.
I don't know much more than you do ... if I even know that much .. but check the menu on your camera and see if it has an 'email' mode. That is where I leave mine set and it is working well for uploading pics to the forum.
Thanks for the tips everyone. I signed up for photobucket and it seemed to be working now. I will check for the "email mode" on the camera though I just have the simple Kodak easy share. The option may be there somewhere. Even the "easy share" can be a challenge to me:shrug:
