A6-
when you resize your pic.... instead of chosing the units as inches or cm; choose the pixel as the reference unit.
Then make it 400x400 pixels or so and it fits nicely on here.
You can also right click on your pic and view its [properties] to check and see how many bites it takes up. refer to TS's post on the maximum allowed. 1000 kilobites(kb) = 1 megabyte(mb)
Also check to see your setting for the -pixels per inch- also called resoultion quality,etc. Sometimes a pic that is scanned is scanned at 400 pixels per inch or greater so even a small picture in size is still a large amont of pixels in computer memory usuage. For example a 2x2 inch photo is still 1600 pixels or 1.6 mb in size. Well, that is how I understand it anyway.
Hope that helps
Or you can send me a PM, and I will give you my email address for you to send the pic to me. I will resize it and post it for you. Your choice. I look forward to seeing your med thread
