technical puter question?..

[Brock Samson]

 i'm trying to upload some photos to a web site,.. and it says "40KB" is as large as i can go,.. but my photohands program seems to list the measurment only in pixils,.. and 40 pixils is too small to be seen, and other larger sizes i've tried to up load from 70 up all come out too large...
so how big is a 40 KB pic in pixils?... 

"Error

Image uploaded is too large. File size cannot exceed 40KB."

You cant exactly translate pixel size to KB size since it will also depend on color of the picture and believe it or not, whats in the picture. (IE more detail in the picture)

That being said, if the pictures are on your computer, just right click them and go properties. It will tell you the size in KB (or in MB).

i know that, it's just that no matter what size they are or i make them    they generate a files too big error messege...
what could be causeing this?..
   thanks.

Pixel dimensions has absolutely nothing to do with file size

Not quite. A 30x30 pixel thumbnail will always be smaller in file size than a 2560x2048 pixel image.

Dave, try changing the quality setting instead of the dimensions (change the dimensions to something reasonable like 800x600 or 640x480 first). Page 21 of the Photohands user manual says shows the "Save As..." dialog box with a slider for the image "Compression" that appears when you save a jpeg. Change this setting to somewhere around 60-70%. A 40 KB image is pretty small (the limit here is 200 KB).

Sorry... Perhaps I wasn't clear enough... I was referring to the fact that 2 images of identical Pixel Demensions can have 2 different file sizes.

The 2 images below have the exact same dimensions, but as you can see, they also have 2 different file sizes.

[Musicman]

So here again, the smaller image has a larger file size than the bigger image 

[Musicman]

Bottom line... Follow Troy's advice and you should be just fine... Pixel Dimensions combined with Compression, that's the ticket
