HAVING A PROBLEM UPLOADING PICS FROM MY COMPUTER. IT SAYS MY FILE IS TO BIG1.32MB AND WHAT IS A KB? THIS IS KIND OF NEW TO ME. THANKS FOR THE HELP.

if you right click the pic and click on edit, you should be able to resize. thats if you have a photo editing program. or you can upload onto a photobucket account and resize there.

KB is kilo byte ---the total size of the photo, usually for forums and emails i keep it around 600-1200KB....someone correct me if im wrong

32MB is way too big for screen resolution. If you have PhotoShop or some
other photo manipulation software, save it out at 72 dpi (as a copy, not
over the original) for use on a computer. Saved as a .jpg file, a full
screen image could be anywhere from 300kb to 1.4MB in .jpg format.

Yeah...

The Gallery software stores images in up to x800 pix format. If you try to upload bigger picture, the gallery will attempt to size it down for you. This works up to a point... But if you're trying to upload over 1 MB in size file or over 1800 pix resolution picture file, it is likely to fail/time out.

The best thing to do is to resize the picture down before uploading it to your gallery. It is faster, it will work for sure. You can size down your picture using many different software applications, or you can even do it on line.

I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager. It is part of MS Office, I'm used to it, I like it.

People use many different apps for this, it's the matter of a personal preference.

Irfan View is a good free software for this (not because another Bosnian wrote it ):

Microsoft has Image Resizer, a part of PowerToys for XP (free!):

Or Google resizing images on line, play around and pick a site you like:

One thing I would suggest - always keep your original picture - create a copy of it that you will size down. You don't want to loose the high resolution of the original.

Hope this helps.
