Can I store my pics 'smaller, on ipad?

10 years ago

Question regarding how I store my pics on dropbox, or any other storage.
How can I make the settings 'smaller', so I will have more room to store more?
On my phone, I have chosen ,small', to send pics. Do not know if they are stored this way also.
Thx

An image with decent resolution that's downsized "for storage" or any other reason will have poorer resolution. Clarity is discarded to make the file/image smaller and it's never retrievable. That may or may not be acceptable to you, I just wanted to describe the consequence in case you didn't know. It's not like folding a shirt to put it into a suitcase, it's more like cutting it in half with scissors and packing just one piece.

An image taken with a "small" file size setting will start out with poor resolution to begin with and will lack detail and clarity a larger setting would provide.

How many files and how much capacity do you need? Storage is cheap, whether you're backing up a small number of files (many, many hundreds) on thumb drives/SD cards or more (many, many thousands) on external drives.

I have settled in nicely at http://www.snapfish.com and now consider it my garden blog, consisting of captioned pics. I could not use any of the suggestions above due to having to either download software or update my browser to use them. Thanks for trying. It has been a good learning experience and now I can carry on a conversation when others telling me about their blogs.

If you touch the photo you want and leave your finger on it, you should get a pop-up option to save the photo. It will then be in your photo album, and you can use it again in your new thread. Note: the quality of the photo will probably not be as high as the original you uploaded, but for the purposes of the forum, most likely fine!

I'm happy for all of you. But fixing whatever was messing you up, seems to have broken my ability to upload photos from my computer (Windows 7). I haven't been able post a photo since August 26! Cleaning out the cache made no difference. I click on the post photo button and go to the folder with the picture. But when I click on the photo....nothing. If I copy and paste it into the post, it shows up on the pre-submit. However, the post won't go through because then it claims I have too many characters. Frustrating!

My cuttings of stem-and-leaf mandarins appear to have failed this spring. I think they just get too dehydrated in the store. Whereas a bud (for grafting) probably has enough energy in it and is easier to 'hydrate' once grafted. I don't know. I would have grafted mine, but didn't have enough window of time to do it. Need to pull out all the tools; find the appropriate rootstock; make sure its bark is slipping, etc. etc. Crazy with a kid at home and wife working full time. My time is not always my own to pursue my hobbies!
