Cant Figure it out

Postby NDSP » Thu Feb 15, 2007 3:56 pm

How do I upload an image  :-? :-? :-?

I tried making it a Jpg, but what I really dont understand is why they keep saying all of my files are too big, when most of yours are more detailed

If anyone can help, then thankyou

Come and visit the Studio and look in the tutorial library, there will be a  tutorial for using Irfanview, which is software that allows you to resize and save so that it is under 100kb.

I do it like this:

-Open a new document.
-Paste the screenshot into it.
-Save it as bitmap (*.BMP)
-Then size the pic (you know the rules in here ;D)
-Save it again.
-Now you should save it as a JPG, now set the size at about 100K

That's how I do it, and it usually works fine. :)

Hope this helps a little.... ;)

Yeah, you saved it as a bitmap (.bmp). That way, you can't make the images any larger without going over the 100K limit. It's better to save in .jpg (or .jpeg). That way you can make the image larger and still be under 100K.
