I guess you are uploading enormous files. On SRP they get reduced and over 95% is thrown out, so you are not gaining anything by that other than the convenience to keep your camera settings to the max values.

You will also likely get better quality images if you reduce the image size on your camera. Right now you're doing the equivalent of using 3'x6' (yes those are ft) sized hones for your razor work.

I've increased the default value for the filesize cutoff again, but I still don't think uploading giant files is a good practice.

I upload at the lowest settings my camera has which is 4:3 VGA? no clue as to what that means.
Never an issue until today,seems to be resolved tho.

Well, VGA resolution is 640x480 and the picture above in post #14 is larger than that. It is 667x500 which is the maximum that SRP allows, anything bigger gets downsized to it.

Plus you had problems uploading when the maximum filesize was the default 2MB and didn't have problems after I increased it, so I would say your original files are too big. The picture on SRP is 40KB, check the size of the copy on your computer and I bet it is over 2MB.

Not a clue how to ck size,have been using the same settings with the same camera for 3 yrs with never a problem
Am just Glad it works again,thank you.

Thanks Gugi....I'll check pic size from now on.

Yea, I'm with Bill, not very "techy" my file sizes hadn't changed either same camera ????
I do, however get that the files are downsized. Just don't get why they had a few days in limbo ?
No matter now its working and i will start downsizing my pics to make it not puke out
Thanks Gugi
