Down Sizing Photos


Bobj

Recommended Posts

Experimenting with my Panasonic DMC FZ7 camera and tried using picture size and quality; 3.5 MB, are too 'big' to be uploaded to Photobucket...How can I downsize to be accepted by said photobucket, please?

 

Have been using the lowest form of quality in the past and no troubles uploading.

When I use Photobucket, I will usually have first cropped a pic and then quite often re-sized it, this in itself make the file size smaller but also when I resize a pic I can choose to save it at a lower compression - 95% makes a much smaller file than 100% and is perfectly good enough for the internet.

 

Just as an experiment I went off and found a pic larger than 3.5mb (it's 3.94mb) and uploaded it to Photobucket without any trouble.

 

It's not the best pic in the world, just the first one I found larger than 3.5mb.

Thanks for that, ayjay. Will give that a try.

 

Got around it by downloading to my 'useless' computer (full of virusessss) and using Picasa, then transferring back to my laptop.

I have given up trying to post pictures or upload videos ,you take a nice raw picture of something then bugger it up trying to reduce it to a few k so you can upload it on here and do a nice 1080p movie and see its filled a 16 gb memory after half an hour card then theres either no where to upload it to or your bloody connection breaks at 98% 2 days later if you do.

 

Strange how cameras have not gone the way i want ,the pictures get bigger but i want more detail

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle
