Photo sizes

[lionheart500]

I have been on eBay for about 12 years and loading photos without a problem now they have to be a certain size and I have been resizing them with Picasa but I cannot alter to the size eBay now accept.

The best advice I was ever given from a friend, when I first used a digital camera, was to shoot the pic at the highest resolution. I used to take them at the highest 2480 x whatever...but now with ebays policy I lowered the camera resolution to 1600 x 1200 pixels and I just upload them at pretty much that size...after briefly editing them in iphoto (i use a mac)....I never get the ebay alert messages anymore. They do take longer to upload, I usually hit the upload...then tidy up the sock drawer in between photo uploads. Take a look at my photos..they seem to comply and are a good size for buyers...and if you get the photos right the first time, you hardly have to edit them anyway...jilly

I think thats sound advice Jilly re shooting them at highest resolution

I list via Inkfrog so I take my shots and edit them in Microsoft Office picture manager and then wipe out most backgrounds in free clipart program (still in beta testing), upload all in bulk batches to inkfrog and list from there. 

The link to ciipart is here http://clippingmagic.com/  for anyone interested, very simple program, FREE and best I have struck on recommendation of another ebay poster, that I am forever grateful to.

Hi,

I use a few different tools

GIMP

http://www.gimp.org/

Microsoft Picture Manager (QUICK crops and resizes) [also: program not available in Office 2013, another way to get it is via Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2010 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=16573)

and

IRFANVIEW

Microsoft themselves provide a small and totally free image resizer for every Windows version from XP onwards which will resize your photos to either a predetermined size or one of your own choosing, either individually or in bulk (batch processing).

Simply enter "Microsoft Image Resizer" into Google and select the one suitable for your version of Windows.

Did I mention that it's totally free of charge? 🙂

I'll have a try at this also could be a good option for me, I really want a program that isn't expensive, does a simple resizing and a good system of filing which is important to me.

I havent sold for a little while but have a few thousand photos in my library

& now have found I can't use them. I've never had a complaint about my photos.

I'm really peed off & not at all tech savvie.
