gliders Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 I think its a really unfortunate drawback to this great forum, that once you have posted a certain ammount of pics ( even if few and far between) you are unable to ever post anymore due to using up attachments quota. I find it less interesting when you are unable to see pic's of various experiments from the likes of guy's like 'vodkaman 'and probably lots of others, because they are no longer able to illustrate with pictures. Is there no way for old attachments to be deleted , or something else that could be done to solve this ! FREE OUR ATTACHMENTS T.A ! FREE THE VMAN ! (and anyone else it may concern ).. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 Yes, it was a most unfortunate situation were I lost years worth of images, despite editing the images down in size. The problem for image posters these days, is that the modern digital cameras emit such large file sizes that memory allocations are soon swallowed up. Also, the ability of the average poster who is not 'in to' photography, struggles with the reduction technology. It is possible to amply represent a 10 meg image with a file size of less than 100Kb. These days, if I want to post a pic, I first upload to Photo-bucket, and then post the link. Thanks for thinking of me Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Young Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Zooming, over-zooming, and cropping are low tech ways of reducing file size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 I use Photoshop as a photographer. This image was 5.28Mb. I did a little cropping to tidy up, then reduced the pixels to 1000x670 then saved at quality-1. Final size 49kb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be several other posts on image reduction. Probably a Google search will reveal more options. As for changing TU, it is a file storage problem, it costs a lot of $$$.
