== Image size ==
A good recommended image size is minumim 1500 pixels height or width ([[media:Diego_Suarez_150.jpg|example of an 1500x1125 image]]). Many digital cameras produce images with a 4:3 aspect ratio and all modern cameras produce images larger than 1500 pixels in width or height.
Images with a 4:3 aspect ratio will automatically fit into the [[#Image_gallery|standard image gallery]]. Example of a 4:3 aspect ratio 1500x1125 pixels image: [[media:Diego_Suarez_150.jpg|Diego_Suarez_150.jpg]]. When scaling some larger image which has a 4:3 aspect ratio 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 good free graphics application to scale images down with and that works on all operating systems is [http://www.gimp.org The Gimp] It is free to install on all operating systems. If however you wish to avoid using a graphic application, uploading and upload your images in their original size sizes and dimensions as they come straight from the camera , that is fine too, but depending on your internet connection and the speed, size and number of images, the transfer may take a long timelonger.
