This is a test of photo sizes

 

test 1365x748 The upload will only allow a 640 x 280. what is taking place is that it is crunching the photos GIF

 

1048x600 620x280

 

Please edit your post as you attempt each image upload.

I am trying to determine if file size trumps dimensional adjustments that the forum software uses to 'downrez' our uploaded images.



If you look at the attachment popup, it shows a 97.7KB maximum file size for .JPG extensions, so as long as it doesn't exceed that, we can upload any size (dimensionally) that you like.

For any other file type shown with a dimensional size limit, it automatically gets reduced.

This image was originally 800x640, with a file size of 42.5K (It started out as a 2MB file, reduced to meet the 800x600 dimensions, then saved as JPG with about a 50% compression factor.)



This next one had the same approximate LxW dimensions, 800x574, but its file size was 413 KB (no compression in jpg saving), so lets see what it does when I attach this...



It kept the size, but reduced it to 48.1KB, mainly on compression I assume...cuz quality really suffers.
---------------------
So, here's what I learned...I suggest doing your own image saving on your home computer, use the JPG format, as it doesn't have a dimensional size limit...just keep the size around 1MB to avoid the forum software downrezzing it poorly.

 

Gus, 2nd one uploaded just fine...any chance you're uploading a GIF as in your TSB link? If so, it could be reducing it to meet the max sizes allowed.

If you have a choice convert to a jpg on your end, the it should result in the same success as your second pic. yeah!

And, don't forget to the attachment, so we don't have to hover over the thumbnail or click to get a big one, it'll be included in the text like I did with your examples above.

 

This is another test

 

OK so how do i get the photo into the body full size?

 

Well, X is a little hard to see. Try scaling it up closer to this X

 

When the thumbnail is created, or the link is shown in the attachment popup, simply right click on it, 'copy link location' and then the link.

You will now get a larger (original) version in addition to the thumbnail.

 

What?

 

maybe this will shed some light



Then INSERT IMAGE using the

OR if you see a thumbnail, you can also do the right click



so that you have this...

 

Another try!

 

Detached Thumbnail

 

Now gus, make your thumbnail big in your Post #12.

 

I’m going to make this a thumbnail big…. I am going to hit it with a big *** hammer if this does not work AGAIN!!!.

 

Gus, your 12 looks fairly clear to me. I can easily read the parts no's and descriptions, with the Selector diagram clearly numbered.

 

Another test.
