Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS Mark II

All three of the socker images are 1024 on the long side. ?

Yes but what size in terms of kb?

Not the dimensions, the size of the file. Similar to how much the box weighs, not the length and breadth.

Once again.....this image accepted at 450 mp on the long side and refused at 1000 on the long side.
The 1024 mp guideline is confusing me.

There is also a 150Kb limit for attached images. Try embedding them instead of attaching them. (See here https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=194511).

Really Cory? Wow. If I were to sell my Sig 85, 135 and 70-200 F4 I wouldn't be too far from the asking price on this baby...Would I not miss them?

Why did I start looking at this thread

lol! You and me both. I am going crazy over here. The only thing keeping me away is that I have had bad luck with AF-inconsistency on my previous zooms.

I would have rented this lens already, but there is nowhere to rent lenses here in Bangkok - a city of 15 million people, and surely alot of photographers.

Ridiculous.

Whew! Posting Rules: 1024 X 1024 box. My images for submission all have been 1024 X no larger than 850. I changed a bunch just for use on Canon Forums because of this instruction. Guess I do not understand at all why sometimes my image is accepted and at other times it may not be at something less than 1024 X 800 or less.

I will likely need some geek help to understand and learn the embedding process. I can not begin to handle those instructions without help close at hand. I'm 75 and counting. That's my excuse and I am sticking to it. I 'ain't even expected to be here.

I surely thank you for trying to have me understand something that I still do not understand.

Attached images need to be no more than 1024 pixels along the longest edge AND the image file size needs to be no more than 150Kbytes. The file size is how much space it takes up on your hard disk. Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) will tell you this. JPEG file sizes vary according to how much information there is in the image. Some images compress more than others so it is possible to have two pictures with the same number of pixels that have different file sizes.

Scott........nicely stated. Literally I now understand but.....I do PM in Photoshop CS4. Is there a way to compress to 150 Kbytes per image? Right now I am faced with two or three downsize attempts to find one that will be accepted when my 1024 on the long side will not be accepted. I assume if the Kbites per image can be easily read by this site there must be a way to read or prep to avoid multiple down sizes each one which takes a bit of quality out of the image.

I don't use Photoshop myself, but IIRC when you save an image as a JPEG there is a slider control that lets you set the JPEG quality. Use this to control the file size - the lower the quality the smaller the file size. Leave the number of pixels set at 1024 along the longest edge.

One other thing...it sounds like you might be overwriting your original image when you are downsizing. You shouldn't do this. Use File->Save As (or similar) to save the downsized version to a different file. You can then have as many goes as you like at downsizing the image without lowering the quality of the original.

Scott....BINGO! CS 4 does not have a file size slider but there is an equal three or four size choice. I do down size from a copy of the original using save as. Someone misinformed me on the losses statement I made. Same goes for any reopening for any reason. It appears the file size is my problem because I usually clicked on the largest file choice following down sizing before using save as. I need to wait for a PM group of images to this out and set it in my mind by doing. Most of my images are saved as 1024 on the largest side. Only a few of my media submissions remain at full size and I would have to hunt to find them even in the files.

You are way past my coffee IOU. If we ever meet cuff me for pie and ice cream too for sure.

I have searched locally far and wide for someone who would deal with my aged head one step or series of steps at a time to move me up the learning curve. At my age I can no longer do the classrooms of the local schools or colleges. They move to fast for this ole goat. Five or six years ago I swore I never would touch a computer. I lied.
