Hi all
The image attachment size restrictions have been modified as follows:
- All image type uploads (jpeg, gif, png etc) can now be 200kb in size (previously was 150k).
- zip and pdf extension attachments can be 500kb in size (pdf was previously 150k).
We hope this helps to display your beautiful images with less compression and less artefacts.
To help reduce your images to be within the posting guidelines, I encourage the following:
For terrestrial images, use VSO Image Resizer (http://www.vso-software.fr/products/image_resizer/) (free) to resize the image and save as lower quality jpeg. Just right-click on your image files, select VSO Resize, and select the target resolution (eg: 800x600).
For any images, before saving for web presentation, resize your images down to a more visible resolution (eg: 800px wide). The smaller resolution will keep the file size down and won't need as much compression to get the image under the file size guidelines. Just be sure to keep a backup of the original, full size image.
If you use photoshop, use the "Save to Web" menu under "File". It's the best tool for saving a file for web presentation. It lets you adjust the quality (compression), see how it affects your image and see the resulting file size before saving it.
If you have any troubles uploading attachments, please feel free to contact me.
