I just posted my first band interview with a bunch of pics.

I’m pretty sure my graphics, while definitely not hi-rez, are too big. I’m choking the system when I upload them, and they don’t render during page view very well either.

I’m just taking pics with my crappy cell phone.
I upload them by opening the pic in MS Paint, select all, copy, and then paste it directly into the post.

Just given the results I’ve had so far, and my intent to post a LOT more pics, perhaps I should tune this process up.

How would you do it?

    Thanks.

    I do use an advanced camera app called ProCamX, because the default Android Camera app was was modifying my pics. I’m sure it has all the settings I need.
    I guess I should start there. Learn to use my camera.

    As for the PNGs, that’s what you get when you paste a graphic into a post. It makes it a PNG. No choices there.

      Don’t paste then? It should take whatever file you choose via file manager (on Lemmy it’s image>browse when creating a post, image icon in comment box etc).
