I suggest you use your camera's normally (do not use the lower resolution settings of the camera). Then, using a photoshop or picture software, reduce the picture size to about 400X600 pixels. Then, when you save it as jpeg, you can use compression level of about 5 and you will end up with a file of about 35 to 55 kb.<BR> <BR>Hope this helps,<BR> <BR>Marcel Carey<BR>Sherbrooke, QC<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR> <HR id=EC_stopSpelling> <BR>From: surfdog@metrocast.net<BR>To: pianotech@ptg.org<BR>Subject: Thanks for picture advice<BR>Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2008 05:53:58 -0500<BR><BR><BR> <META content="Microsoft SafeHTML" name=Generator> <STYLE> .ExternalClass p.EC_MsoNormal, .ExternalClass li.EC_MsoNormal, .ExternalClass div.EC_MsoNormal {margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';} .ExternalClass a:link, .ExternalClass span.EC_MsoHyperlink {color:blue;text-decoration:underline;} .ExternalClass a:visited, .ExternalClass span.EC_MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple;text-decoration:underline;} .ExternalClass span.EC_EmailStyle17 {font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';color:windowtext;} .ExternalClass .EC_MsoChpDefault {;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in;} .ExternalClass div.EC_Section1 {page:Section1;} </STYLE> <DIV class=EC_Section1> <P class=EC_MsoNormal>Thanks to everybody who has shared their insights on how to get my pictures on the forum.  I’ll try again this evening.</P> <P class=EC_MsoNormal> </P> <P class=EC_MsoNormal>Will Truitt</P></DIV><BR> <HR> à Hotmail Plus et partagez plus de photos avec des attachements plus gros. <A href="http://get.live.com/fr-ca/mailplus/features" target=_new>Cliquez ici pour découvrir comment</A></FONT> </BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
