The maximum file size for images is 2Mb. This is smaller than most cameras or smartphones so you will need to reduce the size with your photo editor application (scaling to about half size in both dimensions is usually sufficient).

It can be a bit daunting at first because it is so feature rich, so here is a step by step guide to scaling your images: * Choose menu option File|Open * In the Open dialogue panel, locate the file you want to edit and click ‘Open’ * Choose menu option Image|Scale Image * In the Scale dialogue panel * Set the width to about half the value shown. The height should adjust automatically * Click the ‘Scale’ button * Choose menu option File|Overwrite That’s it. You should now find the file is less than 2Mb and you can upload it. PLEASE NOTE If you want to use a picture you found on the Internet If you have found a file on the web (and have checked it is copyright free) just include the web address of the image in the comments section above.
