Picture Size in Posts
A friendly reminder: - If you are using the tags, please make sure your pictures are not bigger then 640x480. If your pictures are larger then that, please resize them or if you can’t, just post a link. Many people are using dialup. Be respectful.

Here is a link for a photo resizing program to help keep image sizes at a reasonable level. There are many other programs out there. I prefer this one. It's simple to use! I use it all the time! And the best part, it's free.

PIXresizer - Free Image Resizer
PIXresizer is a photo resizing program to easily create web and e-mail friendly versions of your images with reduced file sizes.

In addition, it can convert between image formats (JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG and TIFF), rotate images, convert to grayscale and resize multiple images in batch mode. A great companion for webmasters and digital photographers.

* EXIF support, JPEG compression, TIFF compression, DPI settings
* Runs on Windows 98/ME/NT4/2000/2003/XP/Vista/7

Thanx for the info Sindy! And thanx for the link, I'm not sure if I'm a violator but I'll download the program just in case! :thumb:

I also use it when sending images in email attachments. Not every one has DSL with lighting speeds for down loading.

Thanks Sindy...I have Paint Shop Pro...but it's always helpful to have something else that works. Downloading it now. Thanks for the heads up.

You are doing a great job and I spend way too much time on the site but I need some help. I have posted some pictures on the Gallery, but how do I go about removing one if I do not think it is worth having in the Gallery. I don't just want to fill it up with poor quality images. Thanks :confused:

John!
JonyyB posted a great how-to on that very topic. I hope this helps.
If you need aditional help, I can also remove the ones you wish deleted.

Excellent find there dbarberaz. :thumb: I've got it bookmarked and I'm sure others will do the same. Never can have enough ways to resize pictures. :lol:

Gotta love Imacs.:bow: Iphoto can do the resizing thing. Didn't know that until I looked at the size of the images to see that mine were WAY too big!

Thought since I got a :nono: for some pics I posted I would bump this up for everyone. What is sad I posted a link on this thread about where you can size photos then I posted some to big :eek: :lol:

jx3,

Greetings from another Macaloon! Google for Graphic Converter, a poor man's PhotoShop. It lets you do WAY more than just resize. Its shareware and worth every penny since the author is constantly upgrading the proggy!

Wackaloon (who now has sumn besides his Mac to blow his money on)

I know there are limits on dimensions for images in signatures and posts, but shouldn't there also be a filesize limit? If the concern is loading time for dial-up users, filesize is far more important than physical dimensions.

This thread alone has an 854 kb signature (courthousedeb) and a 551 kb signature (john 11). (BTW, I don't mean to call them out specifically, since they aren't the only ones with large signatures. Since they posted in this thread, it just is an easy example to choose.) By themselves, either one of those signatures would take a dial-up user at least EIGHT TIMES as long as the 588x568 pixel "PIXresizer" screenshot posted in the first post, which is only 66 kb.

Personally, I'd rather wait a few seconds longer to load high-resolution HHR pictures in posts over waiting for unnecessary fading and transition effects in signature images.

BUMP..... reminder about picture size in your posts!

Try to keep them at or below 640x480.

If you host them here at ChevyHHR.net, the forum software automatically reduces image size for you.. and it's free for all members to use. Guests must register to be able to post.

Bring this to the attn of all the newbies and a reminder to those of us who've been here for a while.
Also to help give the mods a little break.:thumb:

I'll be using this from now on. I apologize for any images I linked/posted that might have been too large.

I'll also DL the Pix-resizer on my work PC for use there.

thanks

Just trying to give you and Sindy a little more mod time.

For those that use photobucket..........Please use the RESIZE feature before posting the pics here. It only takes an extra click or two of the mouse to do so.:thumb:

This might refer to me... My recently posted pics (also used for Photobucket) are less than 640x480. Are there file size (compression) limits too?

I tried the Pix Resizer. My wife still laughs about the size. ;) :lol:

If the pics are uploaded to the gallery here, they will automatically be resized!:thumb:

Photobucket has an option for resizing as well.

I was told 800X600 was a good size?? is that ok?

is that ok?

Not even a little bit.

Well, I don't think i could resize every post, so from here on out, I will make them that size. I was told that size was ok from a moderator on the site. Thanks.

It is the size of the file that makes uploading photos slow. Your limit for file size is 97kb for jpeg photos. If I can get a photo down below 97kb and the size of the photo is larger than 640x480, what is the problem? Don't give that poor excuse of picture size. It is file size that makes uploading/downloading slow.

The owner of the site seems pretty intent on picture size limits...even though his other site doesn't.
