How to upload pictures

I have uploaded pictures from the media card in my camera before, but for some reason the details of this memory fails me, because I have tried for two days to figure out how to upload these pictures. I can't remember. I have read the instructions on the FAQ and also on Picnic but it keeps saying that my download failed after I finish with my picture. Anyway, I need to resize my picture so that I can put in gallery to post. I went to gallery and it said picture was too big. Now what am I supposed to do. I've done it before, but forgot. Sucks getting old, first thing to go is the mind.

 

On the edit tab of picnik there is a 'resize' option. Use that.

 

I did that, whenever you get to the save part after creating, it said that it failed to download???????????????

Not sure what happened.

 

There is a size limit, 100 kb, I think...If you are downloading directly from your camera without formatting it I am sure it is well over the limit. When I take pics with my Olympus they are usually 5 mbs. I have to open them in Photdraw and then save them as a .jpg file. That at least cuts the size down to less then a mb, and then I resize the file...You could also using another hosting service such as Flickr or Photobucket...

 

Sorry, missed that. Are you behind a firewall at work? I don't think it is the size of the photo that is causing the fail.

 

I take the pics from my camera (which are already .jpg, but 2-3 mb) and use MSpaint to "stretch/skew" the image to about 25% and that makes it a great size.
