trying to upload to the gallery

I always save my LO's at 600 x 600 pixels and as a jpeg file. I've just gone to add a LO and it's telling me it exceeds the size limit.

Anyone else having trouble?


ok I've looked at it and for some reason it's saved as 305kb & the limit is 150kb. I've never had an issue before and I have no idea how to reduce the kb size.

it also has to be under 150 KB. I use Paint Shop Pro so I could tell you how to save and have it be under 150 KB on it but it is a little different then PS and PSE. Which program are you using to make your layouts?

I'm using gimp (it was free and recommended to me by a friend)

I've looked at previous LO's and they've saved at around 60kb

sorted. the resolution had somehow switched up to 300ppi.

or maybe not

ok well maybe you can adapt this to GIMP because I have never used it.

I go to resize my layout and enter 72 DPI. Then on the dimensions I enter 600x600. After that I click ok. Then I go to save for web and it gives me the option to slide the bar from 1-20 and that will decrease the size of the file while still keeping the layout looking somewhat sharp. Once I get under 150 KB I click ok then it prompts me to save the layout. I name the layout and choose where I want it saved and click ok.

Is there a save for web option on your program somewhere? Mine is under:

FILE-EXPORT-JPG OPTIMIZER

Hope someone who uses/used GIMP can help you out with that particular program.

I usually save mine at 500x500 for upload here, that way they always come out small enough. Hope you got it resolved!
