Graham0127 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Can someone please help ?Tried getting rid of silhouette put up with my postings.When I go on my profile and try to add picture ,I`m told file too large..not a clue what this means..I`m a builder !!! Could someone advise me as how to do it please? Quote
Norman Verona Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Well a builder will use a bolster and a hammer to make things smaller. You need to reduce the pixel size of the picture. Give me a minute and I'll see if the standard photo editing stuff on windows can do it. Back soon. Quote
Captain Colonial Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Email me the photo (see below) and I'll sort it. Quote
Norman Verona Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Thanks Scott, I've had a root around it it would seem that none of the windows editing stuff allows size reduction (no comments please). I came back to say what you've just said. Quote
mr spoons Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I was struggling too, in the end this worked... Right click on image you want select open with open image using MS Picture Manager click Picture on Menu Bar and select Resize resize image so that file size is below 50KB, something around 200 x 300 worked for me Hope this helps 1 Quote

mr spoons Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 no probs, now waiting to see what they choose for you! Quote
Norman Verona Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 My system hasn't got MS picture manager. Quote
Norman Verona Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 OK, thanks, I'll have a look. I've found a Photoshop 5 disc with a serial number on it and loaded that. Probably all I need. I've also got a Photoshop Elements 2 but no serial number. Quote
pistonbroke Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 The easy way is to Email the picky to yourself . Windows mail asks "what size would you like " select small size , send the mail , close windows mail , open windows mail , save pic to a file of your choice , copy and pace into Westy forum thingy . Simples 1 Quote
Norman Verona Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I tried to download MS picture manager from 2 different sites. On both attempts AVG reported something nasty so I gave up. I've never been asked what size I want when emailing pictures, I'm going to try that. Quote
