Can only attach one photo to each post?

[old vetter]

Help needed,
I cannot attach more than one photo to my posts.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
G.

It might be that your single photo uses up the allotted maximum total size.

Your picture is huge when it's clicked on.  If you resize it to about 35% of it's current size, you should have better results.

You can re size and lower the resolution of the photos to make the picture file smaller. Many of today's high resolution digital cameras take nice shots but they are large files

this program will allow you to do this then post the lower quality images to your post

There is probably a proprietary program in the operating system of your computer that has the ability to manipulate the image. In Mac it is "Preview", Windows has a picture and fax viewer that has limited capability.

If you launch the picture from your desk top the computer will automatically open it with the necessary program. Once it does, look for the drop-down menus for "Tools" or "Options" along the top of the window or hover over any icons to see what they do. You should encounter an image edit feature or a re-sizing tool. Click on that and then change the pixels to 640x480. In the case of your photo (attached), it changed from 2.3MB to about 156KB.

Another option I use quite a bit is to attach them to an e-mail message. When you select the photos for attachment there will be an option to resize them for sending. In Windows OS, it's a check box, in Mac you can select small, medium, large, or actual. Go ahead and have them re-sized and attached then save them to your machine from the e-mail message instead of sending them. Drop and drag them to the desk top or just do a "Save As". I'll use this when I have multiple photos I want to re-size, it'll do 'em all at one time.

In windows the program for resizing, adding arrows, cropping and other editing is Paint.  You find it by clicking on START > ALL PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > PAINT     

Open the photo in Paint.  On the tool bar at the top click on IMAGE then STRETCH/SKEW.  Enter a percentage you want to reduce the photo to. 

My camera takes 4Mega Pixel pictures; I reduce the picture to 30% or 20%. 

If you don’t like the results (too big or to small) click on EDIT > UNDO and the picture will be returned to the last size. 

Or you can click on Attributes and insert the width and height.  But if you don’t keep the same ratio the picture will be distorted. 

When I click on your picture above all I see is a small corner (see picture 1 below).

I can scroll down but I can only see a small part of the picture at any one time.  (see picture 2 below). 

The third picture below is reduced to 20% of the original size.

Confusing as it is not the size/dimensions of the picture but the total of 5000 KB of information that this forum attachments mode can accept. Resizing will not change the dimensions of your post, only the clarity and 5000 KB total divided in a few pictures provide enough clarity for this format. When you re size them your computer will tell you how many  KB's in each picture as they are re sized, and just keep the total under 5000 KB (5,000,000 bytes total)
