Uncle Jays Fishin Shack Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hello everyone, I am trying to upload my profile photo and I am not having much luck. I guess I need to shrink my image to only 50kb and I can't figure out how to do it. I have a mac and a Toshiba computer and can't get it smaller than 147kb. Does any body have any suggestions?

gone2long Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Not sure if you can do it but I have mine on photobucket and linked it on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt - NC Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Instead of trying to upload it, try hosting it somewhere else, such as Photo Bucket or www.bassfishingphotos.com, and link to it from there. This way it's not taking up server space here at Tackle Underground so the 50k limit shouldn't effect you. You can also try using a free online site to re-size and optimize your image to make it meet the 50k size limit, and then upload it to Tackle Underground: http://www.imageoptimizer.net/Pages/Home.aspx Give one of these options a shot and let me know if it helps or not 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Jays Fishin Shack Posted September 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hi Curt. Thanks for the info. I am going to try that. I had to shrink this one so much you can only see 3 of the 8 lures in the picture. I will give it a try this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt - NC Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Trying to fit 8 lures into a tiny profile pic is going to be touch. The image can be shrunk in regard to resolution, without having to crop everything out of it, but it will be hard to distinguish 8 lures in that tiny photo. Go over to www.bassfishingphotos.com and setup an account. It's free. And then upload you image there. Then let me know here when that's done. Sometime during the next few days I'll grab it and shrink the file size for you and shoot it back to you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffond Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 The other place you can put photos and link to them if you want them public or private is if you have a google account... you can either put them in your google drive area or add them to your google plus page and then open photo on google plus page right click photo click "copy image URL" and paste it in the photo bar that comes up when you click the photo icon. If you use google drive you can click the share button and it will give you the link to copy and paste... I know other Email providers have this option as well I am just not sure how it is done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Jays Fishin Shack Posted September 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Thanks Curt. I will try that this weekend. I am using a pic that isn't very good right now. But I would really like to use the same one that I use for my ebay and you tube accounts. Just to keep everything all the same. If you can believe this one, I am 45 and I just bought my first computer only 2 years ago so I am still learning. I will let you know when I get my good pic uploaded to bassfishingphotos. Thanks again, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Jays Fishin Shack Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the info Griffond. I do have a google account and I will look there as well. I will have time Sunday for sure. It is supposed to rain all day here in Ma. Looks like a good day to spend in the fishing lure workshop! Thanks again, Jay Edited September 21, 2013 by J.

Uncle Jays Fishin Shack Posted September 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Hey Curt, Thanks for telling me about bassfishingphotos. I just uploaded an album of some of the lures I carved this past year. Its under jgriffinglures. The first pic I loaded is the one I have on EbAy and you tube. If you can shrink it for me that would be great! Thanks a million! Jay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
