This little (ha!) project I’ve started to sell my ponies already feels like a proper hobby. Real escapism! I can see why you all do it... Who needs to earn a living / do laundry / be an adult all the time anyway, right?!

Was up bright and early this morning to glorious sunshine, and the light was perfect for another photo-shoot. A proper fashion-shoot this time, Ponywear!

I was looking forward to sharing some pictures but for some reason it’s saying the files are too large, even though I’ve done nothing differently to yesterday. Any clues please?
 
Hm, I'm not sure what the max. size allowed is to be honest (I'm sure someone can shed light on this), but I use a batch conversion tool to reduce my files' size to 25% before I upload them here and haven't had any problems with uploading pics since.
 
Some people screenshot and upload the pictures before uploading (cropping off any excess of course)
For me, I import it into my drawing app (ibisPaint X if you’re wondering) and saving it as JPEG

I think screenshotting is a much easier way to go but I feel better to watermark my pics

Forgive me, I’m not very tech-savvy! Will screen shotting reduce the size? I was just thinking of trying to use an Instagram type layout app to get more photos on one, then if any buyers are interested I could pm them the proper photo...?

That’s a good idea and I think so since it seems to let screenshotted versions upload

Using the Insta layout app may probably work too. I don’t know the max size either since I’ve never had trouble with to before
 
I tend to upload mine on another website, such as deviantart, download the picture on my phone and then print it here.


Looking forward to seeing your pictures however you manage to do it.

Thank you. Appreciate the advice. However, I’ve taken the photos on my phone, it has to be straightforward for me where tech is involved!! :)
 
I’m not tech savvy either. My iPad has an option to pick size when you go into attachments and add them that way.
