Doesn't your ISP provide some FTP space for a personal website or something? Typically they'll give you about 5 megs storage with every account.
With any FTP client tool, you can host pics yourself - on your own nickle. That's how I do it. |

Sharing pics on the net that are larger than 100k is pretty bad as it is! Any shared pic should be in the 20k-50k range... pics for keeping and or printing should be the only thing larger and for those, why would ya put them on the net!

The two pics you shared could have EASILY been compressed down to the 30-75k range... and they could have been shrunk in resolution a bit as well to 800x600 or even 640x480...
Go grab acdsee classic ([url]www.acdsee.com[/url]) and use the CONVERT feature to handle your compression... play with the % value and you'll see you wont lose quality during the compression until a certain point. I would also consider grabbing something that lets you shrink your pics down to a more share friendly size! =) |

It's more like saying, your pictures are too freakin' big, scale them down so dial up users and people who hate having to wait on your slow pictures don't just skip them outright and move on to the next auction. Now, saying you don't need pictures would be more akin to your veiled innuendo, but still a pretty distant kin. |

But saying no big pictures/large files is like saying "no flash hider". They are restricting something, but not entirely the whole thing. |

If you will crop the photo the file size can drop dramatically (depending upon settings), if you don't have a program to do such send me the pic and I'll do it. Cropping is very useful in dropping file size but yet the resolution size of the object will remain the same and you can get rid of unnecessary background (such as a person's feet, dog butt, beanie baby collection, etc.)

Quoted: Anybody know of a [b]good[/b] one that will let me link pictures out, post them on forums, etc? Tripod will not let me... I would use AR15.com's, except the server has a 150k pic limit, and that is too small... Homestead's pretty good [URL]http://www.homestead.com[/URL]. They offer a free 30 day account. I forget what the bandwidth allowance is but unless you're uploading video clips you should be okay. Sign up for a free e-mail account at Hotmail or [URL=http://www.myownemail.com/moe4/login/default.cfm]MyOwnEmail[/URL]so you'll be able to sign up for another 30 days...repeat as often as necissary. |

Cropping is one thing to do, but if you ignore compression, then the pic will still be large (file size)
There's two things here... 1 - The actual picture SIZE 2 - The size of the FILE You can have a BIG PICTURE compressed under 150k... you can also have a small picture way larger than 150k. As I've told you before, nobody wants to download a picture that's over 50k in size on average, there's no point and it's a waste of time. EVEN FOR AUCTIONS! Your pics should be crips and clear (like the ones ya had with your kitty) and should be small enough to open quickly. =) If you need more help, email me or sfoo... he's a smart cookie that one. Use the force sfoo... "Mujibar?" |
