I took Randy B's specimen which is over a 1.3 MBs in file size ...

... and quickly zoomed in on the essentials to get a better screen smattering. The resultant file shown here is only about 214 kBs in size and the image quality is still pretty good, or arguably good enough.

Quick sample:



... and a quick sample of Randy B's lump (a mere 123 kBs, but decent enough) ...


... and Randy B's cylinders at just 70 kBs ...

Dang son.
FYI that was taken with a Nikon D610...24.3 mp DSLR.

So, to return to the earlier theme of the thread, I downloaded j3gq's large image and resized it to an image 800 x 577 pixels to see what would happen when I uploaded it to the forum. It's lost a fair bit of resolution, but it is not so large on the screen.

Likewise, I took Randy B's photo (taken apparently with a Nikon D610) and reduced it to 800 pixels across. It seems to fit OK too.

It seems to me there are two challenges for those who don't want to use a photo hosting service: to reduce the file size to less than 250 kb; and to reduce the dimensions of the image in the file to something in the order of 800 pixels or less in width. In this case, reducing Randy B's 6016 x 4016 pixel image to 800 x 534 pixels also reduced the file size to 66 kb.

What program are you using to reduce the image size? Every time I do I either end up with a very small image, or a file that is too large to upload.

Apple's native Preview on a Mac. Not at all sophisticated.

I wonder whether you could also do it easily with the image reducer power tool on a PC?

I generally use paint to resize things easily. Didn't know about this tool.

Jan, 2015 :
My first day pic - riding my 14 dlx home from a fly and ride purchase.



Day 3, spent a few days here researching this University for my son to attend. 2 years later, he got accepted to go here.




Day 7, enroute home pic. That duffle bag contained about 2 cases of wine, spirits, souvenir & gifts purchased along the way.


Going on yr #7 !!! Thanks Guth & all the mods keeping this place humming along - Very grateful for all your work
