I tryed to do it and it comes up with 'Invalid file format. Valid files are jpg jpeg gif png JPG GIF JPEG (Wild_One.bmp)'

[imported_admin]

As stated - Valid files types are jpg jpeg gif png JPG GIF JPEG

You are trying to upload a bmp file.

You will need to convert it to one of the allowed file types, I would also suggest you take out the underscore "_" in the file name.

Sorry to have to ask this guys but I'm tryin to resize a pic of the boat, But for some reason ( i have asked the computer whiz son and the wife) but can't seem to get it under 20kb. The pic starts out at 2.88mb i have got it down to 33kb but it is sooooo small, using infraview as per this thread. Can anyone shed some light on this for me ( not computer minded ) give me metal and i'll make anything you want but computers i got no hope....lol

Hi

Sorry but not much I can do to help you. If you have followed the instructions to the letter it will work. Maybe you have missed a step or done one step slightly different. Difficult to help when I can't see you do it.

Maybe post up the pic you have here, resizing it to at least post on the foums, and I will see what I can do for you.

This is as small as I can get it.

Looks like you missed a step, maybe din't do a save for web or didn't adjust the compression. Here is your file and is about 10% of teh file size of the one you sent
