The last pic I uploaded through tapatalk was 3 MB and that wasn't a problem.Sent fra min FRD-L09 via Tapatalk
I shrunk this 12MP photo to 3MP. 3150kB to 395 kB.(Image removed from quote.)You simply don't need that many pixels if the important part of the photo takes up most of them.
Great shot Pabs but I'm with KG, what did you use to do that, was it an app and if so what app? What was the procedure you you used, etc...?
Tapatalk resizes them and puts them on their own servers, not MTO. It's like photobucket in that regard.
I am trying to avoid using a service like photobucket or Tapatalk. Don Pablo, What did you use to shrink that picture you posted above? I usually just attach my pictures with the provided attachment option under the rectangle where you type each post.
You're approaching the problem from the wrong side. The problem is your phone being set to take pics in a too high resolution for a internet forum, or any online site. Go to your phone camera and reduce the size to 4, 5 even 10 Mp will be better. Or use an online picture hosting site and just post picture links here that will show up as pictures. FLICKR, IMGUR, ...
Reducing the file size by adjusting the camera resolution was actually the first thing I tried. The options seem to be 15mp 17mp or 19mp. However I am looking online now, and a website im looking at is talking about another way to adjust the settings manually. But the instructions don't seem to match what I am seeing. Anyway, work in progress. I don't want to use a picture hosting site.
Why don't you want to use a image hosting site if I may ask? Imgur has privacy settings so only you can see your images and only you decide who you share them with, for example on MTO. Look at them as a free backup. And it allows you to use larger sized images than when you store them on the MTO servers, and you keep MTO's hosting bill lower. If you love MTO, you use an image hosting website.
