Thanks Island I edit my photos in Picasa. Once you have compressed the photos can re re-size them back up ? If not I would need to take a cope to compress. Yes I always crop the photos down, especially when people send me photos of craft things with a lot of surplus background.

Just checked a few of my own latest photos and the largest was 2.9MB

Ann, you would have to reduce them before posting on blogs, FB etc.
My camera is set at highest resolution so I have the option to crop quite a lot off the image without losing quality.
Uncropped they are usually in excess of 3MBs which is very large but reduce when cropped. If I want to keep the whole image I select 'compress'.
I edit my photos in Microsoft Office (for no other reason than I am used to it) From the toolbar select 'edit picture' (not just 'edit') New panel appears - select 'compress' then choose which medium you want, I find 'document' is a good size, not too small. Then you have to click 'ok' (?) and 'save'.
I always do a copy of the original to play with in case I 'save' too soon.

I hope this makes sense :-D You could always replace some of your photos with a smaller copy rather than delete them - if size is indeed the problem.

I'm not sure Island, don't think the craft photos are very big, and haven't noticed if it gives you a chance to downsize them. Will have to explore that possibility although it all sounds a bit technical Lol!

Ann,
Just a thought. What size are your photos? could you have used up memory with large files that way?

Sadly I have run out of space on my craft blog apparently. So, until I can sort something out can't accept any more for the moment. I have to admit I had not realised that free blog space was limited, I am not prepared to pay a monthly fee to extend the memory I'm afraid.

I might see if it works if I go back and delete some of the very early ones.

thanks Jean, I have done some but only fairly small ones and not complicated (I lack the patience, and these days the eyesight.)

Nudging this up as it would be nice if the cross stitch people let us know about their hobby on here if they want to. :-)
