Uploading images

[nightshade]

I cannot seem to get files to upload to WAB unless they are too small to be seen.
I am using .jpg fine and reducing image size in paint shop pro,this has always worked before,so what has changed or should I use another method(these are images taken with a D70s)

How are you doing this ???

I either do mine in Microsoft Photo Editor and resize to 800x600 and drop the JPEG image quality by a couple or in Photoshop and save for web.

Does Paint Shop give you the option to reduce this quality or save for web ??

Weird, nothing has changed as far as I know. I usually resize to 800 on the largest side, save as jpeg mid range, and that's it. Can't see how your doing anything wrong..

Thanks for the prompt replies,I have tried again since posting but still no good, e-mailing is no problem even for full size images

Make sure the images are at 72dpi, as jpeg fine will probably be 300dpi. As said, photoshop does this for you in the Save for web option. But it is still best to check!

What is the size in kb of one of the images that failed? The limit seems to be 500k and if you re-sized it to 800px then I can't see it would exceed that but always worth a check.

Does the gallery give you any error message when the upload fails?

In PSPX I do the following when convering an image for the web.

Re-size to 800px
Save As...
Select jpg and in the File Req I click on Options
In the Options window I click on Run Optimizer
In the Optimizer window I change the compression setting so that the Compressed Size (under the right-hand preview) is less than 100k.
The I click OK, name the file and click Save.

The DPI value doesn't make any difference to the pixel size of byte size of the image. DPI is just a value used define how large an image would be if printed - the printed size is pixel size / DPI so:

800px @ 72 DPI would print 11 inches
800px @ 300 DPI would print 2 1/3 inches

Applications use the DPI to work out the default size of an image when you import it, etc. So if you imported the above examples into word, the first would fill an A4 page, the second would sit in the corner of the page.

When I typed dpi it should have been ppi or pixels/inch for the resolution. My mistake.

You often, or you used to, get it thrown in/boxed with printers and such like. You don't want to be paying for it!....or am I thinking of Photoshop LE!

If you would like to upload an image similar to the ones which have been rejected, I will look and PM you the reason for rejection

Huh I uploaded a seal pic last night and it worked fine - as far as I know it was accepted by the mammal gallery

I did have some early issues but I think that was me being thick as Stu couldnt find anything wrong

I didnt start this thread, so I think you need to extend that offer to nightshade instead
