I've had this Pearson #6 for about a month and absolutely love it. I will add another one to the shop soon. It out sews every other machine I've ever used. The stitch quality is amazing.

How do you post a picture from s phone ?

I Can't Figure It Out

When you write a reply to this topic click on 'choose files' and go to Photo Library and chose the photos you want to attach to message.  You are only allowed to upload 1.46Mb (with each message): if the photo size is too big you need to resize/compress the image.

If you are using an iPhone one way to resize them is emailing them to yourself: select the images in the Photos app, select the Share icon, choose email choosing your own email as the recipient. When you tap “Send” that will bring the resize options, choose one of the following to change the resolution: the options are Small, Medium, Large, Actual size (check medium or large). After receiving the email you can save the photos and try to upload again.

Another way is to use an app from App Store, like 'Image Resizer free'

Pretty much all of the smart phones and all digital cameras allow you to adjust the size of the photos you are taking. Most will default to the maximum size, which is too large in bytes to upload to our server. To compensate, go to the camera app and find its settings icon (usually a cogged wheel, or a 3 lined hamburger icon). One of the settings may be labeled Resolution, or Image Size. Open that setting and select a smaller size from the list. I personally use the smallest available resolution for any photos meant for web page use, unless they are going to be expanded by clicking on them. Then I'll move up one size from the smallest. Basically, you only need 800 x 600 for web use. If details are important in an enlarged view, choose 1600 x 1200. Either of these resolutions will usually come in under our upload limit. per photo. The smaller the dimensions, the smaller the file size in bytes.

If you have already taken photos that are too big to upload, there are computer programs (I use Paint Shop Pro), smart phone apps, and online services that can reduce image files, as well as improve or enhance their quality. The online services allow for larger uploads than most bulletin boards (BBS) and forums.

Why are there limits on upload sizes? It is either a default setting that hasn't been changed, or a choice made by the website owner who pays for bandwidth and disk space used, or their hosting company who divvies out the available bandwidth and disk space among many customers on a shared server. Forums like ours are intensive on a server and its resources. It costs a lot of money to pay for the bandwidth and disk space consumed by our daily operations.

I'm not very knowledgeable on this new phone but I'm trying. I can text pictures but so far that's i . I just moved from a IPhone to a android. I'll get it figured out hopefully pretty quick

Actually (and somewhat surprising to me,) currently neither Android nor Apple iOS have built-in image resize functionality (they both have cropping, but that's not the same.)  I'm guessing both platforms do this on purpose to encourage app developers a to improve app store revenue streams.

A simple, free Android app like Photo & Picture Resizer may be your best bet.
