Image sizes
I appear to be having problems uploading some of my images - the site thinks they are too small saying the need to be at least 640x480 pixels.
The images in question are portrait shaped and have the vertical side that is 800 pixels, though the horizontal is well less than the 640 limit imposed.
In order to hit the 640 limit on width, the height would be well in excess of 1500 pixels and therefore not fit on a screen without scrolling.
I deliberately size my images to have their longest side as 800 pixels for optimum viewability in any browser.
Also would it be possible to add the feature that allows you to enter the camera settings for the shot, or would you prefer this added to the description?
Can anyone help?
Regards
Tim

Can't help, sorry, but I've encountered this problem before.
We all have different ways of doing these things but, after cropping &c, I resize to 1000 on the longest axis and see what size the file is then reduce bit by bit until size goes below 500k.
The problem is when you've cropped to a long, narrow picture (as with a snake, lizard or millipede) and the narrowest side goes below 480 ...

I use the save for web option in Photoshop CS2, after all image enhancing, cropping, etc, at about 40% quality having set the longest axis to 800 pixels - usually gives somewhere around 30-120Kb file size which load nice and fast even on a dialup connection.
The size restriction is not in place on the WAB site.

Tim
