jpeg files

[huddo]

Is there anyone who can tell me the best way to attach files( studio plans and details) ? Even when I've compressed the jpeg files, they're still too big. There are only four drawings I'd like to submit.

I believe the size limit is 150K, so they have to be smaller than that.

Make sure they're sized no greater than 700 pixels wide. One of the reasons it's limited to 150K is that many/most images that exceed 150K are too wide to be displayed properly on the forum.

You can usually "decrease the quality" of the JPEG, which allows the lossy compression algorithm to be more aggressive. Size vs. quality is the balancing act.

You may also host your images outside of the forum and "include" them in your posts, using the [img]http://urlforphotogoeshere[/img] tag.

gif will be much sharper and smaller.

Doh! Right you are. JPEG for photos, GIFs for line art!

And I is a Web Developer!

Thanks for the info guys. I seem to have ended up with these compressed jpegs doing the job. I rescanned my drawings as gifs but didn't know how to resize them!!!!!!! Doh for me!! I think I need to do some 'poota study
