Sorry about the huge photo files... I forgot that I'd modiified my
settings in IrfanView and didn't check the file sizes prior to sending. As a general reminder, here's a copy of an email I usually send to folks
who submit full-sized photos whose file sizes exceed 100kb/photo.
""" As discussed countless times on the LML, photos intended for posting
with LML messages should be no larger than 800x600 pixels and their individuall file sizes may not exceed 100k... 60 to 80kb file sizess are
preferred and easily achieved by making them into JPG images set to a quality level of 60-65. If you haven't done so already, please go to
www.irfanview.com and get the IrfanView program, then use it to resize your images before sending them to the LML. The program is exceedingly
simple to use and makes photo resizing and renaming tasks completely painless by allowing you to modify photos individually or en masse
through its powerful, yet easily understood, batch processing module which can be found in its "File" menu . Once you have resized your
photos you are welcome to resubmit them to the LML for posting to the membership. Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your participation. """
There you have it. Please try to keep this in mind when attaching photos to your LML
postings. I'll try to do the same.
BTW, on a happier note, Sun'n'Fun is coming up next week and I'm hoping to see as many of you there as
I can. I'll be working at the Diemech Turbine Solution booth on Thursday and Friday and plan on attending the crawfish boil Friday night as
well. See you then.
