re:posting images

[mezzogiorno62]

i'm trying to post documents on occasion-standard 8.5x11 inch size-but the pop up says images can be no larger than 2mb-whatever that means.but every document i try to post,for whatever reason,is too large.all over 2mb.is it possible to crop the documents somehow?if so how does that work?no experience in this.makes no sense.any any document in the standard 8.5x11 will be too large.and i never have a problem with size sending them out as attachments.

What is your operating system? Windows 8 or apple system

Save to the photogallery and crop with the edit feature to resize your records A lot on times all the black on the outside of the record increases the resolution thus bigger file size

Please do not crop images; it just makes it less likely that we will be able to zoom the image sufficiently to read it.

Instead, many of us use the free/no signup required site, http://postimage.org/. Just visit the site and click the Browse button to locate the image on your computer. Be sure the dropdown is set to "Do not resize my image" and the radio button "Family safe" is checked, then click the Upload button.

When the upload is complete, copy the "Thumbnail for forums (1)" link and then paste that link into your forum post.

What I am saying is some records with distortion on them tend to be over 2 meg and this website and postimage (If you don't join the website) will not upload that size of image so you have to crop to get the image under 2meg

I had never encountered a filesize limit at postimage.org. I've never registered there but I was just able to successfully upload a 2.37 MB (2,492,308 byte) image file; maybe they have changed their rules?
