Garden Frog

**andy b** · 28-10-2007, 11:33 PM

hi all, i've tried to upload an attachment for the first time.
it's a picture of a frog in my back garden,taken last september.(2006).
around late september/ early october we seemed to have an unusually high number of visitors.
i tried to upload , in my opinion, a better photo than this one but an error box appeared, telling me that the file size was too big.
apparently with my kodak easyshare jpg pictures, the biggest file size i can upload is around 570 kb. most of my images are 1 to 2mb in size. is there a secret to sending larger file sizes or am i snookered?
i only use a bog standard kodak easyshare 4mega pixel digital at the moment.
any tips would be gratefully recieved.
regards andrew.
p.s. hope this works!!!

We had to restrict image sizes to half a meg Andrew, but if you download pixresizer (a free program, just google) you can resize single or multiple photos at the click of a button, pretty much instantly, I use it for my website photos.

You can also download The Gimp, it is a free image processing program, works a little like photoshop and great for cropping images, etc.

I used to use a Kodak easyshare camera as well, so the ability to crop the photo was essential, but you can get some good results.
