Default Sending pictures of orchids?

My camera is Nikon D300. I sized my pics around 3x2 inches, 200 ppi. I use
Adobe 2.0 (quite old, but still works well). There are probably many more
recipes for success, but generally smaller pictures go through.

I tried to send a photo of my newly purchased Phal, but the news server
said
it was too big. I use a D200, download the picture to the desktop and try
to
add it to my message here. Am I not doing something correctly?

Thanks....Chuck.



You just have to resize your photos before posting them. I've found that
reducing the resolution to 72 ppi and the longest axis of the photo to 750
pixels serves very well. You probably already have a photo editing program
to
do that, but if not, there are several free programs such as Irfan and
Agent
which other posters seem to like.
Good luck,
