pleeeeeease help!!! I have been trying for 3 nights in a row to upload 2 pics and it will not work. I have resized the pics twice (40%) and still i get the message :"exceeds space". I'm starting to drive my hubby up the wall as we share the study, he works on his laptop and me on the pc.......man am I grumbling. I don't know what to do anymore - have followed the advice on site assistance and still no luck. I desperately want to post 2 pics of my attempts at l&p on short nails and realy would like other geeks to comment. Any help is appreciated!

Have you tried IrfanView, IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide ?

This should let you resize the images and also select the JPEG compression ratio (about 75% is a good compromise between quality and size).

Thanks for the tip - still hasn't helped after 75% compression - still tells me I have exceeded the limit.AAARRRRGGHHH, 10pm in South Africa, think I'll call it a night and try againt tomorrow - my brain feels like sponge bob! Thanks for the help

Oh, but did you resize the image in pixels? When it comes off the camera, it will be HUGE - but for the web you probably want nothing taller or wider than 600 pixels max. And if you set the compression to 75% but don't resize the image, then it will still have too large a file size to be able to be uploaded...

If you're using Windows try the following tutorial I did re how to resize pics.
