As most Camera’s these days are 6MP or above they tend to create large files, the maximum size of picture that can be uploaded by a user is 2MB, to get around this, I advise the following:
In windows do:
START>ALL PROGRAMMES>ACCESSORIES> and select PAINT or
START>RUN> and type PAINT or MSPAINT and press enter
Once paint has opened, the USER needs to select FILE>OPEN and select the picture they want to Upload. When the picture has opened, inform the user to select FILE>SAVE AS and in the Named box, that appears, change the SAVE AS TYPE to “JPG or JPEG†and save the file with a new name. (I recommend the user saves the Picture to their Desktop,,, easier to find when uploading)
That’s it,, the file has been reduced significantly is size with very little loss of quality and should now be ready to upload onto the site.
