Title: quickie pictures
Post by: underdawg on March 08, 2013, 09:37:04 AM

I tried to post my new assembled quickie and the limit for a picture is 512mb, why so low.
My pictures are 2.4 mb and I cannot reduce them to post.
What can I do?

There are two ways of posting pictures.  The first that you tried has a size limit.  The other one doesn't.  Look at the FAQ Thread (http://bottlehead.com/smf/index.php/topic,2408.0.html).

Faststone photo re-sizer is a good program - free - you can pick any number of sizes.

I use photobucket for all of my projects.  You can specify the size when uploading or resize later.

Tell me about it. I feel your pain. Let me see, if I remember right, only certain programs that I used would be user friendly enough to work with.  In my case, my Olympus camera had a program that was much easier to use. The Windows program on the other hand, along with others, was a bitch. I can only suggest that you keep trying programs until one makes sense. Good luck, it took me awhile. As suggested, Photobucket works pretty well also.

If you are a PC user...

1)   open the picture in the program called "paint" or "paintbrush"    ... (it is in the accessories folder in your program list)

2)   resize the image from (100pixels X 100pixels) to (25pixels x 25pixels)    ... if the file still ends up too large, go 20 X 20

3)   go up to file, click "save as"  then click on the jpeg format

4)   give the file a new name... so that it is easily distinguished from the original   ... (and so it won't overwrite the original)

5)   upload picture


if you use mac, I have no Idea... but I am sure they have a similar program to paint.

When you figure out the best way to do these photos(it takes practice), I really want to see some close ups of the underside of your project. This little guy is one of the best buys in audio, period. I am sooo hooked on it's clean sound, it has ruined me for a LOT of other expensive gear.
