Hi All,
Is there an easy way to resize (or more specifically "downsize") images so that they don't exceed the 1024 kb attachment limit?
I don't know why but all the images I've recently tried to attach have exceeded this limit...which has never happened before (same camera...)
Thanks,
Simon

open the picture in paint. Find the button thats called Resize. Should be to the left in the menu(Atleast in W7 version). When clicked, a box will appear, choose pixels from the bulletpoint. Resize to around 1024px width, and u should be good to go.

NP! ofc u could resize to another size, as long as the picture doesn't exceed 1024kb. Its just my opinion that a picture of around 1000px in width is more than enough sizevise for ppl to see  I hate to have to scroll both vertical and horisontal to be able to see the motive in pics that are like 4000x3000px |

If you want to reduce a lot of pictures, FastStone Photo Resizer works very well and as for free.

Gilles,
If there is a copyright on a picture, it means you are not allowed to use and post it without its author agreement ?

But it is strange as you said in your other post that : On a visit in Guanaste province, north of Costa Rica, I took a picture of this beautiful insect ! If you took the picture yourself, there should not be any problem  A+, Michel |

I recommend reducing your images to around 800 pixels wide or less. That should do it, but dimensions is not the only consideration. Color depth also has something to do with it. If the image is saved as very high quality you could still exceed the file size limit even after reducing the dimensions. If this happens try re-saving it at lower quality.
Don't know about the copyright issue. That sounds like an anomaly.
