Komputer hassles

G'day

Being absolutley hopeless with modern technology I need some help A few days ago I tried to place a image on the forum downloaded from my digital camera. Apparently the file size of my pic was too large of something to that effect??? How can I get an image to fit on the forum?

Sorry if I don't know what im talking about I am just barely computer literate

Micko,
welcome to the club.
I actually had to get knowledgable on this subject from a different angle, I found that with dialup the images needed to be small enough to send/receive.
It depends on what software you have.
I use Photoshop and the "Save for Web" command within this. I am sure some other and more clever guys will help you here.
Good luck

Thumbs up

Micko, try > www.faststone.org
for Faststone Photo Resizer. Works a treat. Just resize your pics down to less than 100k. I do mine @ around 640 x 480 or 400 x 300, ~10 to 30k, sometimes a bit smaller. L.
