posting a photo

[Lancsliz]

can someone please advise me
I want to post a group photo it's a post card size but each time I try it says the size allowed is 500kb.
I have posted this size before with two sisters on and that was quite easy and it was the same size (postcard size) that I did before.

What am I doing wrong?

What resolution did you scan at? And what is the file size?

I've just checked; dimentions 1584x972, Jpeg, size 546kb, is that enough

what can I do to post it?

I have just re-scanned it slightly lower it is now 202kb will that do?

Hi
Well done on rescanning /reposting

However, going back to your original scan which was slightly over 500kb, you could have resaved it at a slightly smaller size

ie  In Photoshop Elements:  > Save As > Select JPEG Format > Save > OK > In this box, move slider slightly to the left and wait to see what the new size is (indicated at bottom of box).  Repeat until under 500kb > OK

(nb The initial small movement of the Slider may not show a change.  If not, move it a bit more.  It will suddenly show a largish step-change in size. If very large try going back a bit to the right until you get the largest size available under 500kb.  Unfortunately there are no in-between sizes available, other than the ones obtained )
