Another picture question

[Carolyn]

Trying to upload pictures to my gallery, and they're all too big. I know they have to be under 500 (lol, I don't know which letter goes behind the 500), but none of the resizing programs I have tell me that. They all ask for dimensions, sooooo.....what dimensions should my photo's be?

Please put the directions in idiot proof format.

There are step-by-step directions about using Gallery in the FAQ section.

I can't tell you a size, it could vary from picture to picture and the type of camera used, etc. If there is no "Resize" option under Edit on your photo editing program's menu bar, you'll need to choose a size and see if it works. On my photo editor the picture resizer is under "Picture" on the menu bar I use "large web size, which is 640 x 480 pixels. For better picture quality you might be able to make the size larger.

You would always choose to do a "Save As" rather than overwrite your original picture. You might need to try making a couple of copies, but once you know what your camera requires to make it uploadable here it will probably be the same setting every time.
