Photo Size-Upgraded to 5 mgb

Now upgraded to 5 mgb. That should take care of 90% if the size issues when posting photos.

That image shows no departure from your usual quality, Wood. I use an old version of Photoshop Elements to resize my photos. Although it has a setting to optimize photos for the web, they still come out a few Mb in size. 

I use image compressor.com and it works well and is easy to use. The compressed phots are high quality buy usually under 1.5mb.

Folks... just to be clear.... a 5MB photo limit is MORE THAN SUFFICIENT for our needs.  In fact even that's an overstatement.  And here's why:

I understand people just wanna capture photos and upload them straight from the camera for convenience sake.  But in a way, that's a terribly INEFFICIENT use of resources.  Good gosh... with a typical high-resolution (300dpi) 5MB file, print shops can produce HUGE poster-size print enlargements.  We really only need low- to medium-resolution (72dpi) files that are often well under 1MB -- sometimes even below 512KB -- to see impressively sharp images on our computer displays.  And mobile devices can get away with even smaller sized files.

I'm accustomed to tweaking images I capture anyway, so the step to resize them for efficient online viewing is a non-issue for me.  Try it, and you'll be surprised how small your uploaded files really need to be in order to look impressively sharp and colorful on the forum.
