Suggestion to Net 54 sellers

[Leon]

Pics from phones are usually way too big for our system to host them. Anyone can always PM me for help and I will help. But downsizing them is key.

Personally, I think part of the reason phone pics are so big is because the tech companies want you to buy more cloud storage faster (that is just my hunch). Isn't the answer almost always "money"?

Here's what I do to get photos down to Net54 compliant size:

I've got two Google Accounts. I take a phone pick, send it from one account to the other via Google Hangouts. Then download it from the Hangout thread (I download it on the computer, but doing it on your phone will probably work too). Don't left-click on the picture, just "right-click --> save as", and the resulting picture is the right size for Net 54. Then when you make a post, click on the paperclip icon and attach the photo.

There are also a zillion websites that will shrink photos for you, but this is quick and easy.

Actually, on this point I sometimes take a picture with my phone when I am not happy with the quality of the scan from my Canon scanner. I then text the picture as an attachment to my e-mail. From the e-mail, I open the picture with my Paint program and save it as a jpeg. Never any problem with it uploading to Net54 under the size requirements.
