Re: Donetta
 

If that is the complete name, then the forum uploaded will give an error message that it doesn't recognize the file and wont upload the file.



The file name should be IMG_8360(3).jpg

Re: Donetta
 

Rename the image file to include the image type extension:.jpg; jpeg; gif; BMP; pnp


The type extension is a MUST for other paint & photo programs and the forum uploader to be able to correctly read the file format.

Re: Donetta
 

It's still too big.

In terms of length and width the largest dimension should be 720 or less.

Re: Donetta
 

The app I have is called Gallery and I just crop them on that app.

Re: Donetta
 

So you are using a smart phone or tablet. The Gallery app on my phone (if it is the same) doesn't have resizing abilities. ...You need a photo or paint program on a tablet or PC to resize. Paint.net is free and very good.

Re: Donetta
 

I just did a search and found Photo & Picture Resizer on Google Play. It is free and works with Gallery. I think you only have to input height & width or may be only one, as it will maintain the aspect ratio. ... It looks to be very easy to use.

Re: Donetta
 

I use ImageShrink on my Android phone.

Re: Donetta
 

I have a smart phone, don't know if its the same one? saw I had a mistake in spelling. I have to crop it smaller and it really lowers the pixels. Should check into that picture resizer. Would be nice to use the entire photo.

Re: Donetta
 

The forum member has allowed me to share the photo that will not upload because of file size issues.
Forum member also says the plant came from Hawaii.


Here are two of them.

Re: Donetta
 

It looks like Orinoco to me.


Did you resize the pictures? The top one is only 198kb.

Re: Donetta
 

This is what I just figured out with Mari's photo.

• I resized to 2.4mb, it will not upload. No red 'Process' button; but states the image was successfully uploaded.
• I resized to 2.06 Mb, it will not upload. No red 'Process' button; but states the image was successfully uploaded.
• I resized to 1.99 Mb, IT UPLOADED! ... After clicking the 'Process' button' the picture was place into the Gallery.

The forum's stated size limit is Wrong or has been down graded at some time without changing the instructions. The limit is about 2 Mb or 2,000 Kb.

Re: Donetta
 

What size is this one.. compared to a smaller one?
i have no idea??


Here we go
just curious.

I did find a window (right clicking on the photo) that has a 'Resize' to it. Can do S, M, L. I will post another thread (?) of a different plant that needs identifying tomorrow after taking a picture of it using the S (small).... I had two tags in it...one reads Dw Iholena and the other Musa Ensette. Both may be the same ? Hope to figure out this posting somehow. Thanks for all the help...couldn't have done it without you.

Re: Donetta
 

After you figure this all out ...treat yourself to something good.

Not an ensete..

From Hawaii a good chance a Iholena.


The West Coast fellas will set it straight.

Re: Donetta
 

@cincinnana


817Kb vs 29 Kb

Re: Donetta
 

Flickr breaks them down pretty good then.
Thanks for the great information.
Forum members can use that as a possible example.
Thanks

Re: Donetta
 

The next picture I post (hopefully) will be a different type of banana plant that I have, not the one pictured above. It will be the one that had two different tags in it. The one pictured here (Orinoco?) was given to me by a friend that had a friend give it to her...kind of like a hand-me-down. It was said it was bought back (probably as a corm) from Hawaii. Whatever...all banana plants are beautiful and different in their own way.

Re: Donetta
 

Many forums photo processor will resize a photo to their forum standard. This is to minimize their storage space on the hosting server and/or maximize the number of photos being stored in a limited space.


I believe the Bananas.org forum also does this. The 1.99 Mb photo I uploaded was resizes to 97 Kb in the Gallery. Thus, I see no reason for the upload limit on the photo size. ... I don't use this forum's Gallery so I had to make test uploads to find the limitations.

Re: Donetta
 

Bump....what kind of banana plant is this:)

Re: Donetta
 

Still looks like an Orinoco to me with the sliverish powder on the back of the leaves and the outside of the bud. ... Another picture or 2 of the fingers to verify their shape would help.
