AlexC94 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Finally got my red boots at last. I even wore them out in public for 2 hours. I would post a bigger photo of how long they really are if the 500mb rule wasn't implemented. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shyheels Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) I honestly can't understand the troubles people are having posting at under 500kb. I shoot with a full frame pro-DSLR with a 30+ megapixel sensor and the (high quality) images I post to my blog or on Instagram are usually about 300-350kb, and never more than 400kb. It's really not hard to render images under 500kb Edited July 31, 2019 by Shyheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect with the jeans, I am so envious.....Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Since your using an i-phone, try to mail it to yourself and use the sizing in the mail program to resize it. Most of my pictures start in to 8,000+ kb and it bring down to under 100 kb by a combination of cropping with Windows Photo Gallery and resizing in Paint through the WPG program.

Shyheels Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) Use Lightroom. Export - tick the box that says limit size to 450k, then resize to, say, 800x540 and you’ll be well under. Done and dusted. Edited July 31, 2019 by Shyheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
at9 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I think you have to pay for Lightroom. Irfanview (Windows only) is free and will do the job quickly and easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyheels Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Yes, Lightroom costs money, but it’s excellent. Even so I am thinking of going over to Capture One because I’m not keen on Adobes subscription business model. With Capture One you can just buy the software outright.

Yep, mail it to yourself, it will offer size reduction, works well and maintains suitable definition. Not sure why smart phones don't simply allow reduction without mailing? Should be a simple option on the crop set up, or maybe I'm not smart enough for my smartphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, the files from my camera can be huge - up to 180MB in a TIFF file - and I’ve no trouble at all exporting jpegs of under 400kb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

at9 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I do my image resizing on a PC using Irfanview or a "right click" app called Image Resizer fo Windows. If you're on a phone there are loads of possible apps. Here's a review of some for Android: https://photo.wondershare.com/photo-editor/best-android-apps-to-resize-images.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy1986 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Hey, lets get back to talking about boots ;-) Great ones @AlexC94 - enjoy! Hope you can work out more pics! (and yes - I find it easy to resize/render images to a good size, but certainly understand that those working solely off phones, or some who are less techie will have trouble - it IS quite annoying to have to do this... but I guess that's what we get from a freebie forum (that we are all happy to be a part of!)

Shyheels Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) I always swore I’d never involve myself with social media, but with the photography business the way it is these days I relented and got an Instagram account - I must have been one of the last photographers on earth not to have one. I dislike it though, and think I will probably delete my account. Back to the topic though - nice boots! Edited August 3, 2019 by Shyheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
