Help! I attempted to upload pictures of my recently acquired 96 C4S
for all to see, with no success. Apparently the file was to big (412kb).
I tried to compress the file with no luck. What am I doing wrong? Any
suggestions? Pictures were taken with Olympus D-520 and downloaded
onto my computer as I,ve done many times before with no probelms
emailing pics.

steve,

What are you using to compress the file? If you would like to email some pics to me and I'll do it on my photo shop software (I am not an expert either). My email is anthony.a.young@gmail.com

You can not 'compress' .jpg files. You must resize your files. Look for an option to resize the mages in your graphics or camera pc software.

You may consider taking pics using SQ2 (640x480) or equivalent, then resize as suggested above.

Thanks a million Tony. The pics look great. Now how do we use one
for my avatar.
I do plan on attending the New Years Day rally. I look foward to meeting
you there. Maybe you can educate me on computer usage.

Graham,

You are the guru of avatars (sorry Alan). Still savoring the one you did for me.

Thanks again, and wishing you a wonderful year to come.
