A Horse With No Name 27 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Tried uploading my Personal Pic (1.4 MB scaled down from the Digital Camera) and it won't do it - Is there some reason apart from size, and if it's just size how can i scale it down more? Same with Pics 'inside' the threads - hows it done! I'm bloody useless at image editing and techy stuff!!!! Any advice???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boab 73 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Upload your picture/s to photobucket.com and then copy the img address into RM of the pictures to get them shown Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_RFC87 764 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Open the picture with Paint (Start > Programs > Acessories > Paint) Hit Save As Save the file as a JPEG or a Gif and this will scale down the file size. It's probably saved as a bitmap right now which is the reason it's such a large file size. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Jadams - didn't fancy downloading stuff to that bucket site (looks a bit dodgy) - i'll see if i can sort it out later using your tips! Got a Optio and the images are BIG so i guess i'll need to learn the act of downsizing for my File and RM! Ta! Tried using the Gif one (as opposed to the JPEG i had downsized to) and no joy - still 1.4MB ish! Will try again some other time mate Cheers anyway!!!
