Size restriction on photos

Post by tommie987654321 »

Help please :?: :!:

I'm trying to upload photos of Samantha, but it's not working.
After about the 100th attempt, I noticed a message telling me something
about pixel size. My photos are apparently 4608 x 3456 .
I know they are about 2.6 MB,
Are they too high a resolution ?
How do I fix this, because I have so many pics of Samantha I would like to share.

You need to adjust the photo size with a standard to your operating system photo program like paint (i have Vista) or a add on program. If you are doing it on your phone only then you will have to select a lower resolution setting on the phone before you take the picture.

Mine are all 6000x4000, which I resize down to 1500x1000 in paint.net before uploading them for linking.

Not sure what the forum limit itself is though.

Just recently we increased the limit to this. For most images posted on TDF this is really unnecessary; it is more than a 4K image. Unless your photo is meant to be a very high-res image, this is unneeded. Mostly about 1000px on the longest side is more than enough for an image on a website.

But many smartphones have 4128 pixels as the longest side. So now we support this. For those using a device having an even bigger resolution, please use an app or program to resize your image.

Most phones & digital cameras should also allow the user to select photo quality thus the final size or resolution on the device.

Yes, that an option. But then you don't have the original full resolution for further use. Who knows, maybe in a few years someone wants to have a better resolution of an old photo.

I´ll usually go with 2048 x anything and 20% jpg compression. Gives me decent quality at reasonable file sizes (~0.5 MB)

so the The configured limit of 4128x4128 pixels is the answer, not the size of the file in Mb?

I use Photoshop. You just click the image tab > Image size.
