Please resize your images to a maximum of 500 pixels wide before posting and try to keep file sizes below 100kb.

Images larger than 500 pixels cause the pages to blow out sideways which is not very nice for those of us viewing in 800*600

Do not upload images that you do not own the copywrite for.
ie: don't take pics from overgrow unless you have the owners permission.

What file size are images limited to?
Cheers,
Easy

If you look at file attachments where you upload it tells you:-

QUOTE

You may attach a file to this message. Maximum file size (in bytes): 97280

The picture size was changed to 550 pixels wide the AUP above is out of date!

Thanks OT,

my mx fire works has expired,,,so i cant send some bud pics,,,,,,,,anyone got a serial number,,or any suggestions,,,,,,,

I belive MS Paint will do it for you. Certainally any photo imaging software will (i.e. Paintshop, etc. )

This is what I do, it's dead easy, right click on your pic then click on send to mail recipitent. Then it says make images smaller or keep original size. A new email window will open up with your picture in the attatchment bar, just drag it onto your desktop and thats it, It sounds long winded but takes about 10 secs

Its also worth adjusting the pictures dpi if you can, no point having a 300dpi image on a 72dpi monitor, also helps to reduce the filesize a lot too.

adobe photoshop cs2

goto file>>save for web

dramatically reduces filesize for your pics

fek me this thread started along time ago

alo playmates, the problem is trying to send pics and tbh in the past its not been any probs, been through the same routine, get the pics up i want to send, resize them with dell power toys "image resizer"
to about 54kb trying to send, and it just dont happen, when it was working i used to get about 2 green lights up on the readout just above the taskbar, then bang it was there ready to attach to post, but now i go through all the same motions as above, but when i try to attach it to post i get the green readout but it is so slow and only gets up to about 5 digits and just stops there. any idears whats going on if ya put me right i'll send ya a nice pic of a derga mata 3 weeks into flower, cheers t.f.k

try this one for resizing pics m8

my resizer is working ok, the original size of pic is 2560 X 1920 = 1.04mb.

re sized ends up 640 X 480 =53.03 kb.
so i dont think its that. even done a system restore back to earlier date no differance so fek knows but thanks all the same leroy and thanks for your time,. t.f.k.

well i think ive cracked it, just seeing if it will inlarge once posted, here goes [attachmentid=122738]


well it worked but ya cant inlarge little bit moore tweeking spose.[attachmentid=122752]

[attachmentid=122761] well i think i got there in the end, sorry for all the feking about mods, delete this lot if ya like ive saved my settings, cheers , t.f.k

hiya folks.

ok i feel a proper dick asking this but i need to post a scanned image of some leaves in the sick plants forum (i have no camera). i've scanned it in, uploaded it to photobucket and tried to post it but come up with an error saying it is an invalid format.

could one of you kind people please talk me through this from scan to uploading pic here please?

again - apologies for being so dim

what is the file extension on the image? If you have an imagining piece of software then convert your image, post in the most recognised format Jpeg

Don't use external hosting sites like Photobucket - just resize the JPG picture until it's less than 300K in size, and then upload it as an 'Attachment' to your post.

?????????????



eta - cheers lads. dunno how that worked but at least it's there!

i use infranview to resize all my pics in jpg format.

free download, piece of cake, job done, google it !

(im using xp home) easiest way i found which dosent require any other software is:

get the image you want to upload right click on it and select open with, paint.

then in paint click image then select stretch/skew, then where it says horizontal type in say 90% and where it says vertical also type 90%

then click ok. save image as new one then right click on new image thumbnail in the containing folder to get properties which will then show the file size.

if its still to large to upload to uk420 then just go through the above process but type 95% for horizontal and vertical settings, re save and check. i just tried a 4.59mb file and changing the size in paint to 90% horizontal and vertical and then saving that as a new image has reduced the file size to 556kb so still a little way to go with the resize but if i was to try it again resising to 95% of the saved image size then it most probably will be under the 350k mark or whatever the limit is.

I found this keeps the zoom in function and keeps the image large in posts.Click to view attachment This image was 4mb a bit of shufflin l8r and its like 277kb or something and it has kept all the detail and zoom function. The last of my pot of gold for those wondering. and it was lovely! been w/o for months now:((
