HELP NEEDED TO INSERT PHOTO

[lindajo]

I cannot seem to insert a photo. I follow the instructions (insert file attachment etc) but once the photo has been uploaded - which does take a few minutes - I get a message saying 'Page cannot be displayed'. I note that the maximum is 97.66kb and my photo is 458kb - do I need to reduce my picture size - if so, how do I do it.
Thanks

Hi Lindajo

If you open your photo in any reasonable graphics package like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro you should be able to go to a menu item such as "Resize image" and adjust the size to a smaller size. Good Luck.

There's loads of ways to resize/make the picture smaller in kb but it depends on the software you have on your pc.

I have searched for this website where you can resize on line http://www.resize2mail.com/
Not too sure how it would handle really big photo's or how it would work over dial-up but it worked for me

If it is deleted then please DM me for the link but I don't think it rents/sells any Florida type stuff.

Test



I've just used the site above to resize the above pic from 368Kb to 29Kb, it was very easy to do and quite quick (on Broadband anyway - not sure how it would be on dialup though), basically you go to the site browse for your picture then click to resize as required then do a save as back to original folder.

Try renaming it from xxxx.jpeg to xxxx.jpg, should work fine.
