Gary, that was helpful about sizes. My photos are about the same size as Bjays. My daughter's are over 5 Mega, so now I know why I have so much trouble opening them when she sends an email. My photos take 1-2 minutes to put in these posts (is that uploading or downloading, what's the difference?) Funny thing is when I did my first photos on this forum it worked much faster, so I thought something had gone wrong when they didn't come up.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I have just had a look at a couple of free sites for image resizing. The first was dire but the second - resizeyourimage.com - was easy. The only problem for me is that I'm used to deciding how many kb/Mb the final image is and the sites ask you to choose dimensions in pixels; however, if I used a site like that I'd soon learn. Gary's pic was 900 pixels wide so that's a good guide.
The original was large - 2.78 Mb or 2560 x 1920 pixels, the resized one is 85,1 kb or 479 x 359 pixels and uploaded in a flash. (It's the view across the living room to the garden!!)
I'm just grateful to have any connection at all to be honest!
My photo editing software lets me change the size of photos - and I mean the file size, not the actual size although it does that as well!
Very grey here today, and the traffic was a nightmare on the way in - caused by a closure on the M3 motorway meaning all the traffic was coming through the town instead.
-have checked my speed and I kept below 30mph all the way
Just had a tootle round the 99p, poundshop and Wilkinsons-going to get all my seeds from there and going to do all gardening on a budget-have spotted Charlotte seed potatoes for 99p, 6 packets of sweet peas for a £1-Wilkinsons are doing but 2 get one free-at most I can see me not reaching £10-the expensive part is going to be the compost
Lottie, I use photo editing software too and like you, change my image sizes in that.
Road problems are often a pain round here. There are three main-ish routes through and if one has an accident on it (usually the notorious 'spur road') it pushes all the traffic on to the other two and clogs everything up. If two of the three have accidents then no-one's going anywhere!
Liz-I think you just need to be brave and keep experimenting with the downsizing -there is load of information out there-if you crop a picture on you camera before putting it on the computer that does the job as well
Flo-has the dog got an exclusive comntract with Hello Magazine and you are not allowed a full frontal?

Another thing, how do you make photos smaller? Geoff sent me something on it but My daughter and I tried it but it didn't work.
Should have asked nicely. Please
I tested my speeds - thank you Gary. I think they are slow. Download 1037 kbps or 130kBs. Upload 261 kbps or 32.6 kBs.

Sorry forgot-downloading is when you take something -say like a cd or kindle book-uploading is when you put something on a site.
So you upload a picture onto an e-mail and the recipient downloads it to open it
As clear as mud
