Wish I knew whether there was a maximum size for photos to upload successfully. I failed to upload any for weeks - after many successes previously, then an email from GW suggested the JPEG files might be too big. They were right! But what is the maximum size? It all seems very odd because I'd never had a problem before....has something changed, I wonder?
I use photoshop and click on the 'images' tab and scroll down to image size, then make the long side of the picture 2048. The short side will then be calculated automatically and you can then save as a separate file if you want to keep the original photo. As long as the photo doesn't exceed 3 mb they upload and can be enlarged by everyone by just left clicking on the picture when it appears on the forum page. In photoshop, when you click 'save' a dialog box pops up asking what size you want with the picture's megapixel size underneath and you can easily adjust the final pic size before saving.
Of course, you do have to have a version of photoshop to do it that way. There is a photoshop programme you can buy called photoshop elements which will work perfectly well with most PCs that is by no means as expensive as the full CS (Creative Suite) software.

Thanks for asking the question, Pete. I had no idea there was a toolbar! You learn something new every day
Shucks ! 'T'waren't nuttin', Marm !
I don't speak computer and I don't know what I'm talking about but my pics from camera are 3648 x 2736 (will they be pixels?) and 4.34MB.
I resize with the Paint programme and reduce to 30%.
I don't have problems uploading those but I do with the originals

If you can and want to reduce the iages by Photoshop, go to image resize and take 'em down to 750. This is a good general clubbing to fit !
Mind you, the images I have put in above, are thundering gurt images , so t doesn't seem to matter really. Play safe and go for 750.

Now that's my idea of a proper garden
