Fussy fotos

[Catllar]

So I'm trying to load my pix onto the Autumn sewalong page.  I have managed one so far. Total rejection of the one showing my  coat and trousers. Is it a style thing? I am getting the message: This page is not working currently and Sewing Forum.org.uk is unable to blah blah blah.
Could the photo itself be corrupted? I know nothing of the inside workings of the little people inside my pooter! Has one of them tipped coffee over my photo?

Are the photos in .jpg format?

I always have to export photos from the computer's photo editing software format into .jpgs  The exported versions go onto the desk top and get deleted leaving the original safely in the original format.

@Catllar , as Brenda said be sure it's in .jpg or .jpeg format. Also check the size. Some people's phones/cameras take pictures suitable for showing on a Jumbotron. That might also be an issue.

Some computers are just selfish jerks and don't want to share.

They're all jpeg ( I've been caught by that before) and all the pix were taken at the same time, so if some will load why wont' the other one? Humph

Some photos have a bigger file size simply because they're busier. I had to turn down the resolution of my phone camera to be able to post them here.

I have trouble with photos that have come from my daughter's phone, which is not an iphone. I find I have to open them first in Paint or similar software and then resave as a jpeg before I can do anything with them. I give them a different name eg Rev_paint_WxM26y705.jpg. For some reason I think the jpeg formats created on different platforms are not exactly compatible, so not all software can read them. Paint seems to be able to read anything, so that is worth a try.
If they are all from the same source, have some been edited and not saved on the same platform or machine? The Paint trick might still be worth a go.

@sewing grandma I have real problems transferring from the phone.  I send it to myself as an email and then can open it very easily on the laptop.  I agree that Paint seems to be the most open to taking all sorts and opening it without having a hissy fit.

Hiya
I'm having same trouble . Posted 1st photo with out a problem but cannot post 2nd although same phone etc
Is there a solution please?

[Bodgeitandscarper]

If I try to edit pics on my phone then upload them here, it just refuses them.  I have to email them, open on the laptop, then use something like Pxlr to crop and re-size - but Pixlr now only lets you do 3 per day, the meanies!

[Bumblebuncher]

@Bjay I often have trouble uploading the pics if there is more than one, it seems to repeat one and knock out the other!
I now check when posted and if it has done it again delete all the pics and replace them how I want it (hope that makes sense).  For some reason it works better on an edit than on the original posting.

@Bumblebuncher @Bodgeitandscarper

Thanks Ladies = I eventually emailed it etc and it is now there

What a performance!

[Bodgeitandscarper]

And of course I now realise that if you just open a photo on the laptop, it's in something Windows that lets you edit it.
