Size of pictures.

[postman]

What is the maximum size of picture that can be poste.I have just used Shrink pictures a great free site .To put Scrooge and Bob Cratchett on for a poster.200 x 200 .And i thought when i clicked on it it wouls enlarge in another window.But it didn't so for me it failed to show in full definition who it was.So is therte a new max size.

The forum software will "fit" large images to the current width of your browser window. If they are larger then the visible screen width, clicking on them will expand them to their full size (exploding them past the right of the browser window).

If you've uploaded it at 200 x 200 pixels the forum software won't enlarge it because it doesn't exceed the screen dimensions.

Cheers,
Shaun

Thanks Admin .I have just been practising and got a bigger picture.Not as numpty as i thought.Great thanks.

But despite that - please don't post your pictures at their original 16 (whatever) Megapixels. They look stupidly big when expanded and unnecessarily gobble up bandwidth. Shrink them down to no more than (say) 1,200 pixels maximum width/height.

Would it be possible to put in a maximum size limit for images?

There's a physical size limit of 1MB ...

If it's a picture of cj then the smaller the better

That's fine for a bitmap file but it is huge for a jpeg! My 1MB jpegs are about about 2,100 x 1,575 pixels.

I'll have you know that people have paid good money for pictures of me!


(Okay, they were my school photos and it was my parents that bought them ... )

Yeah, and presumably I'm the one with a big bottom who is not flat-chested!

For those of us limited to 0.5mb lines because of distance from the exchange, that would be better if it was 100k. And for those on phones.

Actually, I'd limit it to that anyway, I've yet to see an image that deserves any more space than that and there is nearly always an inverse relationship between size and quality.

In pictures, that is, for human males, the two are in direct proportion. Obviously.

Half a millibit - blimey, that's slow! How far do you live from the exchange, about 200 miles?

The only way to deal with 'that' photo is get my waist back down to 32" and post it myself as the 'before' shot to compare to the slimline 'after'! (And no potsy - that isn't an invitation for you to post it again!)
