Thread: Photos too large.

You should be able to reduce the size of the image in Paint if you're on a PC. I wouldn't change the file quality settings in your camera.

Perfect. Thank you!

Most all cameras come with the ability to "shoot" the photo with a less dense setting,,, it's in the menu section of your camera,,, just dial it in when you want smaller, less dense , photos

or,,,,,

go to download.com & download a free photo editor, that will shrink the size for you,,, then you can post the photos,,,

As Hirlau Stated: Go into the menu setting of your camera. You can reduce the image size of your photographs. If you're only taking pictures to post on the web a 3 mpeg size file is sufficient. Also check into storing your pictures on one of the free online storage sites, for example photo bucket, picasa, etc. You upload your pictures to the storage site. When you post to SRP, you only list the URL address of your picture on the storage site. You do not have to upload your photograph to SRP.

An easy way to reduce the picture file size is to crop it. That is what I do most of the time. Just cut of the outer edges of the photo. The program that I usually use is Windows Photo Gallery that came with my computer. I have others that I will use if I need to adjust certain aspects of the photo, but that one seems to be the easiest for simple things.

The down side of that is when you delete your pictures off your file service they stop showing in your posts.

You could get a smaller camera,,,

Saves a lot of disk space on the SRP Server when their not hosting your images.

yes, but 'third party' pic hosting sites go MIA faster than my edges! If we want to save our forums for future shavers and posterity, it's better to have the pictures hosted with the posts here. I've been searching the forums a number of times and was disappointed when and interesting post with missing pics popped up
