I keep on getting "Message rejected, file is larger than 5000k."

Anyone else have this problem?

How LARGE are your photos ?

I am doing the usual thing: clicking on a photo, which is NOT a large thumbprint size. These come from MY Pictures" in my PC, and I've never had to deal with this before.
I repeat, I've done this very thing over and never saw messages like this. It must be a software glitch.
Oh well...

Thanks, I am excited about how it looks since I was so nervous it would be too much that I almost had them install it as an accent behind the bar area which meant it would have to be made into a long pattern. I really wanted my island slab in Before I decided about putting it behind my cooktop. 'twas not to be with the crazy timing of my workers; so I took a deep breath and said ,"go for it"! I'm now basically wiped out with all the decisions. I am really on my own with all of these decisions since my DH has abdicated any responsibility ( except for the all important money aspect). He gave me a good budget if it only covered the kitchen but somehow it needs to cover a face lift of most of the house, including ALL of the flooring. I hired a KD for 5 hours as a sounding board for my vision of my kitchen. she gave me a few sketches with no dimensions. Beyond that, she's been available by text.... Hoping we'll be finished with the kitchen next week. My DH has been awesome and uncomplaining throughout. I guess I am one lucky girl. It's been sort of a dream to finally try out all of these ideas floating around in my head for the past 12 years in a kitchen I never liked. Hope it turns out . A fun adventure that I am so enjoying sharing and learning from all the GWers here. Thanks! . Heres Another shot. The mullions above will have antiqued mirrors.... No wonder I have been afraid to post photos. There's a lot of "clowns in my kitchen" And i hate clowns! But I love beautiful things that appeal to my eye.

Did you know that you can set your folder display to "details", where your files will be listed, along with various file information, including size.

To do this, select View on the folder menu, and select 'Details".

Then you can see how large your files are.

Hi aegis,
Thank you!
I think I need to check the menu in my new camera, to see if I can resize the photos. I guess I need to take the pictures again after they are resized.

I really love this site - you get your pic loaded - and you tell what pixel size you want - I think for this forum you need something like 60kb - try may be 500pix - and if it is still too large - reduce it. It is a good idea to crop the pic before you resize it - so you do not waste your pixels on something that is not relevant.

Most photo software (photoshop, microsoft office picture manager, etc.) has the capability to resize photos.

Phots are, typically, quite large directly from your camera.

Aha - I work with Photoshop on a desktop - and use www.photosize.com - on a gutless wonder Netbook if I am on the road.

Hi all,
Thank you for trying to help, but I just downloaded the photo editor and it isn't working.
I follow the steps, and the pics in the folder reamin HUGE.
I had another Fuji camera I bought in 2002 and everything worked fine without having to go online and download things.
Why cant things be simple the they used to be!

I found out how to resize the pics in my camera. It wasn't in the instruction manual. (!!!)
I went to a forum that is linked to the MyFinePIX software. I found the information there. Problem solved!
Ok, I will be able to import the images again and later post them here when I have time.
Thanks for the attempts to help. Really appreciate it.
