Subject: Reminder about pictures

From: "Steve" <alienrelics@...>
Date: 2005-09-09

I know I keep reminding everyone about not uploading larger than about
300x400 in the Photos section. And not to upload files that are
available on their own websites (like PCB programs).

I'd also like to ask if you are uploading to Files, please crop the
image and resize it to something that will fit without scaling. The
Files is up to 89% of 20M again, I just deleted some off topic files
(previously warned I was going to) but there are a lot of On Topic
good images that are over 2000 pixels on a side! Often half of that is
just the table under the board. In a few cases, the image of the PCB
is only a couple hundred pixels wide while the whole picture is
2500x1500 pixels!

I don't want to pick on anyone in particular; but some examples of
what I mean are in the PhotoEtching folder.

If I could easily click a few buttons and take care of it, I would,
but it's a monumental task to expect one person to fix these when I
must download, crop, reupload, delete the old file vs having the
uploader just crop before uploading.

Thanks,
