HI guys,
I have some awesome new pics I want to share everyone but the kodak program loads all the pictures up at once then the site tells me the file is too big!
Can anyone help me out? How can I up load them individually?

Grazie,
Michelle

Download this free image editor and resize them:

I recommend you resize your pics to around 800 pixels wide on the large side, and 600 pixels wide on the short side. Keep the files at 72dpi.

Hmmm... also, make sure you are selecting individual files in the "browse" window. This site has an auto-uploader that will let you browse your folders and upload individual files. Look under the upload tab in your "my stuff" section.

You know, I really don't know. I've never used ACDsee or picasa2. I use Adobe photoshop for almost all my editing, but I found Irfanview to be a fast and easy way to do certain types of editing and batch processing. It is a tiny file size for the amount of editing it will do - cropping, resizing, etc. It supports .gif files and has a handy thumbnail preview.

I often use it to scroll through files since it's faster than Photoshop, but the editing isn't even close to PS.

That's what I am having trouble doing selecting individual files....could it be the way it was sent to me? Or am I just having a hard time?

I use EZthumbnails, when I didn't have ps and even now if I want to batch resize without editing. I also think 800x600 is a bit big...600-700 on the longest side is better for viewing in small screens.

you can use Paint which comes on windows. Just go to Stretch/Skew. You can go to attributes and change as you see fit.

I just sent you an email, Michelle. smile

What type of file are you trying to upload? It should be a .jpg or a .gif to work here, so you might need to convert it from a Kodak picture file to a .jpg file. Your Kodak software should let you "save as" a jpg, or you can probably convert it with Irfanview.

Send me an email and let's see if we can figure it out, OK?
