Posting Photos

[Spence]

It's been awhile.

Last time I posted photos of my work, I got chewed up and spit out. So, after a few years, I've decided to try it again. I hate lurking.

Anyway. The photos of my current project are too large for this forum. They are about 3+ megs. I wanted to post 6 of them but they all got rejected. I've never had trouble with facebook.

Not sure I know how to shrink them, but if I can, what is the size that I can upload?

If I can't get it figured out, it's back to lurking. lol

Facebook automatically reduces your large photos to smaller sized ones. If you have any "photo" software, you can reduce the size. I think it can even be done on "window paint" which is a basic program on most windows driven pc's.

I reduced my pictures down to about 1 MB (2000 X 1500) and they uploaded fine...

This is what I use, it is free and easy. http://www.shrinkpictures.com/ Step one choose file from your photos, step 2 click on 50% leave the other steps as they are click on shrink and wait. Depending on the size of the picture it might take a minute or two. once your picture shows up click on download and save where you want it. THen wha you want to upload a picture here click on more reply options then choose file.

Thanks all. Camano Ridge, I'll try that program.

I've got some old photos on Photobucket but haven't accessed them in years. Found it too inconvenient (but that's just me). I tried the shrinkpictures.com thing and it worked just fine. Thanks!
