Best Site For Posting Photos Here???

[glenn bradley]

I agree with Jim that posting the pics to the forum provide a consistency for those coming along later. I do wish you could post 10 or 20 pics at a time like on other forums. I find the awkward posting mechanism here makes me post a minimum of pics and only when I really want to share something. I use PIXresizer (a freebie I have used for more years than I can recall) to locally batch re-size pics to a max of 1200 pixels in height or width and this seems to give a good image with an adequate size for viewing. If only we could post more pics more easily I would post much more well developed journals . . . hint, hint . I know there are work-arounds but . . . why should we?

I don't understandthe photo sizes you mentioned, typically once you go above, 1,000 bytes, you stop listing as KB and start listing aa MB


It looks as if the software reduces everything down to about the 225-300kb size range judging by what has been posted recently.
I wasn't aware the software did that, thanks.

When you look at the file size in windows file explorer it shows file size in KB. I know that 1,000 KB is 1 Mb. I don't know the upper limit of the site software for photo conversion, but the ability to upload at least a 19.5 Mega byte file would seem to cover many photo files of woodworking.

Yes, the software that SMC uses resizes files...there is an upper limit and I forget what it is, but with reason, it does the job. The single thing that folks need to pay attention to is that uploading directly from "devices" (phones and tablets) sometimes results in photo orientation issues because of how mobile devices store them...the SMC software doesn't "read" the metadata properly...which is why bringing them into some other application and resaving them "fixes" that issue.

My file explorer shows the size in kb or mb depending on the size.
Unless you're a professional photographer with the latest gear, 19.5 mb is a HUGE jpeg file, very rare, this is the closest I've seen.

Typically, large .jpeg files are between 8-10 mb. Anything larger is usually a .raw file type
