Help with photos please.
I am trying to place photos on buy and sell. However, my photos are all over 1 megabyte. Have i done something wrong when taking photos, or is it
something else?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is now turning into a saga! ps. yes i am technophobic.

Hi
You need to cut the file size down using software or host them off site say at photo bucket and link to them.
I use pic sizer, its free and works well http://www.axiomx.com/picsizer.htm
There are many options in Pic sizer but I find that a size of 900 pixels across works good for web stuff.

You have done nothing wrong - cameras take high quality pictures.
My mate just bought a "little" 10meg camera and the pictures are all 5MB's!
Brilliant if you want to print quality A3 sized pictures.
But uselass for posting pictures on the web
As Steve said Picsizer is good.
Especially for doing "directories" at a time
For one off's i use Irfanview - another free ware.
Download both of them
Do a search for " Irfanview " under my name.
Here is a cut and paste of one of my replies
You can use painshop or one of those programmes or i use a free ware called Irfanview
you can download it at http://www.irfanview.com and follow the links or u2u me your
email and i will send it to you.
It really is easy to use this programme for down sizing pictures.
Open picture as jpeg
Click -
Image
Resize – and set at 600 x 400 and nice large size
Then click –
File
“SAVE AS” and click options and there is a slider bar
Set it at 50
That should set the picture nice and big and only about 40kb
IF it is still over
click –
File
“SAVE AS” and click options and there is a slider bar
Set it at 30??
Futue te ipsum!!!

Another thought with the camera - on a lot of cameras you can turn down the quality to make the files much smaller. I have done this with my camera,
as a lot of the photos that I take are of building work we are doing, and there are hundreds of them, so smaller file sizes of the photos show all the
detail I need for this type of work, but aren't too big to email, post, or even just to store them without filling my hard drive too much.
From your ole' mate Jeff
