How to reduce images to upload onto forum

Unfortunately we have to put a limit on the file size as all those files take up lots of space on the server, the files alone stand at an impressive 1Gb of server space. You can certainly get good pictures at that size, in Picasa export try exporting at normal setting and playing with the image dimensions.

I've saved Admin's attached pic, 012-1.JPG [554 kb], quickly resized it in Irfanview (free at http://www.irfanview.com/, one of several free packages of the type) to 45% and quarter-size, and saved each as a new file, also in JPEG format. Here are the resized versions.


Original: 2200 x 1650 pixels 554 kilobytes

45% size: 990 x 743 pixels 94 kilobytes

25% size: 550 x 413 pixels 45 kilobytes


My browser even rescaled the original to half-size of its own accord, to fit it all within the screen, but some may not. I doubt that, for most purposes here, uploading anything above a single screen resolution is going to add value, and it's potentially going to make things less easy for anyone using a smaller one. I guess that many users are using 1024 x 768 screen resolutions, and that some may still be using 800 x 600.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!
