<p>Richard - Thank you so much for your response. I am always keen to get my head round all this technology so I will have a go! I'd like to understand more about using my camera, etc. Tomorrow I will try your suggestions and see how I get on. Watch this space! I am keen to upload a photo of a new tenant we have in our garden at Passmore Edwards House - a toad! (or is it a frog?)</p>
<p>Many Thanks - Kathleen</p>

<p>Hi Kathleen</p>
<p>It may be because the photo files are very large - depending on your camera settings the files may be up to 10MB and will oten be 2MB or 3MB in size.</p>
<p>Threre are two issues: image dimensions and image quality. Many cameras will have default settings to capture print quality images (high resolution 300 dpi - or "dots per inch") and often large images, you could adjust your camera settings if you know the pictures will be used only for online display.</p>

<p>Hi Kathleen</p>
<p>It may be because the photo files are very large - depending on your camera settings the files may be up to 10MB and will oten be 2MB or 3MB in size.</p>

Many cameras will have default settings to capture print quality images (high resolution 300 dpi - or "dots per inch") and often large images, you could adjust your camera settings if you know the pictures will be used only for online display.</p>
<p>However, if you have existing pictures to upload, photo editing software will allow you to reduce both the image dimensions and quality. Often free editing software is provided with your camera. I would recommened that where possible photographs should be reduced in size to 900 pixels on the longest side and lower resolution (for on-screen viewing a resolution of 72dpi is sufficient).</p>
<p>If you dont have additional photo editing software <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPWMXkheL8E&feature=watch_response" target="_blank">this video on YouTube</a> suggests a way to reduce file size of an image using standard Windows components.</p>
<p>God Luck! ... do let me know how you get on - and if I could help futher.</p>
