Anyone know what to set my digital camera to..........
for our auction?It says my pictures exceed the maximum size.

Ron, it doesn't matter what size your camera format is, just downsize to less than about 800 pixels wide.
There is usually an Image size option in most photo management programs.
My Nikon takes pictures about 3200 pixels wide and I just use the crop tool to get rid of excess edges and then simply downsize with the image tool.
If this makes no sense just ask someone you know who posts photos and they will help you.

When you bring the pics into your computer, use MS Paint to downsize them......
For the auction, I suggest 640 by 480 pixels (approx).

750 X 650 is the max archive size that usually get used for the auctions.....
If the picture is letter rather than postcard, 650 is max width

Set it on Stun!
I've been digital since the late 80s and I still marvel and am confused by the digital camera.
The digital camera world is absolutely amazing!

What I like is you take 100 shots, keep the best 2-3 and delete the rest, and there is NO developing costs.......
