[MERGED] Can't load photos

[Boris]

Before someone says that the picture that they're trying to upload is only a few megabytes I'd like to point out that a JPEG picture in a file is in a compressed state. PDSquire sent me a 3.1Mb picture that when uncompressed is over 10 times the size and during processing has error out after using more than 80MB of memory..

So to keep it simple, if you want to use the XRV gallery you can resize your pics a bit smaller and you should find that they will work. If you don't have a resize program then try google as there's lots of online image resizing websites about.

There is some really good free software that will resize pictures out there. For windows users there are a couple of free tools that will do the job from within windows explorer. For microsoft XP fans we have Microsoft's Resize digital pictures quickly

My favourite is Free Image Resize Software Import organize resize photos- VSO which works in XP, Vista and Windows 7

Whealie has also come up with this gem for Windows or Mac users

The fastest way to resize it to email them, and just before you send, change the size to smallest possible. You don't actually even need to send the email. just save the smaller images. Works in Outlook on a PC and Mail on a Mac.

Well it now seems to work, seems to take forever to upload one picture at a time but working at last

You can try uploading more (even in a zip file) but you've gotta remember that the forum software is behind camera technology and is designed to cope with 1-2MP pictures and not 10MP
