uploading image problem

[alge]

hello all, any help would be great.

I've recently embraced the world of macs and i have a new camera phone-sony C905 but im finding the file sizes are too big to up load. I've tried to reduce the image file size to around 1meg and tried them as tiff's rather than jpegs but i'm still having no joy. what am i not doing correctly or missing out?

i have some bolete images that i need help with and a new amanita i'm stuck on.

I remembered this very helpful thread:

See if that does it
Good luck with the ID's

Many thanks Loripo, i reduced it to just below 1 meg jpeg in preview and that did the trick.

Hi Alge,

If you're using iphoto I find the easiest way is to select all of the photos you want to upload then file>export or share>export (depends what version you're using). In the dialogue box there is an option to reduce image size and I usually find a width of 1200 does the trick.

Hi laura,

thanks for your advise its a great help, i have to say the mac make such great sense in soooooooooo many ways but there are a few knacks to get around.

Awesome avatar by the way, still the highest genus on my wish list especially living in kent, but alas........ the closest i've got was a probable mitrophora possibly semilibera??? but one day probably when i least expect eldorado will be on my doorstep.

thanks again alex
