Photo Section - Please Read

Yahoo Message Number: 13813
The photo section has been trimmed from over 30MB down to 6MB, for the most part by deleting the highest resolution photos from the postings. I left a few of the original high res photos where the additional detail was needed over the yahoo's reduced size.

If you are posting photos, please scale them down to no more than 400 pixels in the longest dimension. If you don't have the tools to do so, go ahead and post the large photo (some were over 1MB in size), then view the thumbnail, click on it to view the scaled down version, then click on Full Size to view the photo which will probably more than fill your monitor. Select Delete Full Size Only, and confirm. This will leave the thumbnail and normal size photo.

Of course, if you need the detail to see some fine detail, go ahead and post the large photo. Most cases I saw, did not require the large version.

Please make use of Albums with meaningful names and caption the individual photos. Thanks.

At least warning that we have exceeded 30MB has gone away, and maybe other error messages. I did not however get any other errors.

Another way to reduce the size of your photo, if you have Windows XP.
Open your pictures files.

Right click on the picture you want to reduce in size and click on Mail Recipient.

This will give you open an email message form. Send the email to yourself.

A box will open giving you the choice of sending the picture full size or making your pictures smaller.
Click on make pictures smaller.

Email the picture to yourself and it will be in the 60 kb area and still have most of the clarity of the original picture.
As I said, this works in Windows XP. I don't know if it works in any of the other programs or not.
