Pano too large for a Forum post?

[twickers14]

Quick question. I shot a nice basic pano yesterday on my Mavic Air 2 which I tried to post but as I went to attach it, (14.3mb) I got a message saying it was too big. Does that sound right? Sure I have posted panos before and no problems. Any thoughts?

You have a couple of options.
You could:
Resize the image to a smaller size ... or
Upload the image to a hosting site and post a link

Thanks. I’ll have a bash at resizing. Any apps to recommend? I downloaded something called Image Size from the Apple App Store but couldn’t work out how to use it!

Irfanview is a free editing software that is easy to use beside resizing you can do minor color adjustments and stuff like that

Resizing is a basic operation in any graphics software

I believe the maximum size for a single image is 8MB. @clackey should be able to verify the limit imposed in the forum software.

I’ll take a look at Image Size and see how they do a size conversion and get back to you.

Many thanks. I have scoured Apple Support and think I have done it through Preview. Have just posted the shot but unlike previous posts I can’t see the shot but it’s posted anyway. Let me know if this works.

If you posted it here, I don't see it either

Ya, I think it might be 10mb limit for uploads. Really no reason to post anything larger here and it helps us save drive space.

I loved Irfanview but it is not supported on iOS Mac, only Windows

I guess I should have checked the limit but maybe it‘s not in the “rules”. Got there in the end and perhaps this post might help others.

Twickers, I use Preview all the time to do just what you need to do. It's so simple. Drop your image file on the preview icon in the dock, and duplicate it (cmd/shift/s). Go to Tools/adjust size, make sure scale and resample are checked, and enter a value for the width of your pano (typically between 1200 and 1600, for non-panos I use 1200 wide). You can make other adjustments at this time if needed. Then cmd/s to save the new file with a new name and choose a quality level somewhere in the center of the slider to keep the fie size manageable (typically between 150 and 400K). Then just drag and drop the new file right into your post.
