Q: How do I upload photos with my messages?
A: Uploading a photo is as easy as browsing to it on your computer from the message form. The only requirement is that the image filesize not exceed 40Kb.
[HINT: If you want to upload scans or large digital images, the filesizes are sure to be way too large. We've found that it helps to resize the image so that the longest dimension is no more than, say, 500 pixels. That's plenty big enough to display in a message, yet it won't take up more than 40Kb if you save it at the right amount of JPG compression. You will need an image processing program that enables you to resize images and vary the JPG compression, such as Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or Photo Deluxe. There have been numerous discussions of these matters on the messageboard that are accessible through the Search function of the Message Index.]
