Author Message   Jpfive Posted on Sunday, October 19, 2008 - 10:19 am:        I am having a problem loading photos as attachments to forum messages. They always seem to be too large, even though I take them as 640x480. What software is best for reducing photos in size? I have Adobe Photoshop, starter edition. Thanks Jack   D_adams Posted on Sunday, October 19, 2008 - 10:28 am:        Gimp http://gimp.org/ it's free.   Ccryder Posted on Sunday, October 19, 2008 - 08:54 pm:        JP: It is a file size issue as well as an image size issue. You need to reduce the image size to below 800x600 and the file size below 71kb. JPG file format can use compression to reduce files size. Let me know if you still have issues, I can play with them for you.

Adjust the quality till your under 70k Or you could upload to photobucket and copy paste the [IMG] code
