File sizes of pics

bwhite · 07-30-2003, 04:18 PM

Alright, I need help.:( I've been trying to post some pics, both attached to a reply in a thread as well as upload to the gallery. Each time I got a message saying my pics exceeded the size limit. I've got them saved as JPEG files in Adobe. Is there a way I can resize them so they will fit?:BadPC:

you got a scanner ? some scanner programs will shrink or enlarge

If not and all else goes screwy. email to me and I can shrink and send back to you. Either that or print, take to local copy machine and should be able to make smaller, then rescan and go from there

Thanks Ghostrider. I'll try the scanner method. I took the pictures with a digital camera. Maybe the resolution was set to high. I may try to retake the pictures using less resolution. Would that decrease the file size?

Have you tried using Photoshop to edit the pic. Don't edit though, just tone down the file size a little. I've had to do that with several pics I have made from my cam.
