Help posting photos

Just posted my DLX in the For Sale section. Could someone please remind me how to post a photograph? The system is telling me my photo is too large. Thanks.

As a general rule, images should be resized (downsized) to close to 800x600 for posting to the forum, as anything produced by any contemporary camera or telephone will have too high resolution for any website or forum use. What software are you using to process the images created by your camera or telephone?

Photos are from my iPhone. Have not been processed beyond that.

I had to download an app to edit my photos down to size. I think Rotor is right. 800x600 seems about right.

I am not mobile telephony user, so I can't suggest a photo processing software for those devices. If you have a Windows computer, Irfanview is a good, simple program that will do all an amateur photographer might need to do with image files. On Linux computers, there is Gimp.

There's a recent thread about picture resizing on a Windows or Mac computer:
Posting pictures directly on the site

Certainly don’t go by me because I didn’t start paying Photobucket when they required it last year for third party pic hosting. But, somehow, all of my old Photobucket pics, whose links were broken since they started charging, are back in my posts today.

Is this a thing and I just didn’t know about it?

OP, you could try photobucket
