When pictures come off your camera or phone, they're often really huge! Far bigger than needed to upload onto the forum. It helps us save on costs if you can reduce your pictures before posting or adding them to the gallery.
There are loads of ways to do this, but here's a tutorial for one option:
1. Visit
Pixlr Express - a free online image editing software
2. Choose 'Browse'
3. Find the picture file on your computer
4. Choose Adjustment > Resize. Choose new dimensions, make sure the "keep proportions" box is selected so your image doesn't go squiffy! We recommend a maximum width of 500px, it should be big enough for most images to be seen clearly.
5. Choose "Apply". Then "Save" in the top left.
6. Rename your file if you wish, adjust the quality, then save to your computer for upload to TSP
