Many digital cameras produce images with a 4:3 aspect ratio and which are usually larger than 1500 pixels in width or height. As such, you may want to scale the image your images down before uploading it on this site.

Example of a an 4:3 aspect ratio and 1500x1125 pixels image: [[media:Diego_Suarez_150.jpg|Diego_Suarez_150.jpg]].

When scaling some larger image which has a 4:3 aspect ratio image from some larger size down to 1500 pixels width, it becomes 1125 pixels height. Or in case of a taller than wide image, i.e. in portrait format, it becomes 1125 width and 1500 pixels height. However, many cameras output different aspect ratios and size settings.

A free graphics application to scale images down with and that works well on all operating systems is [http://www.gimp.org The Gimp]. If however you wish to avoid using a graphic application and upload your images in their original sizes and dimensions as they come straight from the camera, that is fine too, but depending on your internet connection speed, size and number of images, the transfer may take longer.
