love to sew

I had my computer guy here in hopes he could help me post a picture. We went to my pictures and tried to upload the;picture and it "failed to upload" he said it was probably because the file was too large. I used to be able to down size the pictures with a side bar pop up but I no loner have that on my new computer. He said is was a program called picasa but that google bought it and closed it. He said I had to get a new program (probably buy from google) that will allow me to resize my photos. What program do you all use? I love this board but unfortunately I have not posted pictures for a long time and I do want to participate in that way. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

There's a thread in the help section dedicated to answering your question.

Preparing (Resizing) Photos For Successful Upload and Viewing

I use Paint to resize my pictures. It comes with most Windows programs.

thanks, I have a Mac. Is there something similar that is easy to use? I don't post many pictures either anymore.

I take almost all my pictures with my smart phone. Then I email the picture to myself. Part of the email process asks if I want to send it as small, medium, large or actual size. I usually use Medium. I don't find any difference in the quality for posting online. Save that smaller version to your computer or your phone and upload the smaller version.

Barb; after you have emailed picture to yourself, how do you then post to the quilting board? That would be so much easier than taking a picture with my camera, taking out card then inserting in computer and then resizing on paint then sending to q/b.

I go to my photo gallery and edit and save a smaller pic to post on other sites.
