Image size
== 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.
If resizing Many digital cameras produce images with a larger image which has an 4:3 aspect ratio down to and which are usually larger than 1500 pixels width, it becomes 1125 pixels height. Or in case of a taller than wide image (i.e. portrait format) the resulting image size will be 1125 width and 1500 pixels or height. HoweverAs such, many cameras offer several different aspect ratio settings and you may want to scale the image size options that are usually much larger than 1500x1125 pixelsdown before uploading it on this site.
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.
