Dear Alamy Contributors, My wife and I are 'old school' photographers with 35,000 or so 35mm color slides using Nikon equipment and lens. Most are Kodachrome 25 and 64. We digitalized 1000s with the end result we have images with 150 to 250 megabits...too large to send by email. Have any other ALAMY CONTRIBUTORS asked about submitting images in such large megabits and if so, what happened? Also, there is an inherent loss of image fidelity between the original 35mm Kodachrome 25 and the digitalized results. Any Contributors asked these questions? cheers, Flo and Paul

Hi. I'm wondering if any of you can id this tree and the lichen growing on it? I took the shot on a cloudy day this past Sunday on my way home from opening our family cottage near the beach in Connecticut. It is growing by the backwaters, a tidal salt marsh fed by the Long Island Sound close to where it meets the Atlantic Ocean, just off the coast of Rhode Island. (We used to "surf" on a friend's canoe where the waters would get rough when I was a kid - a bunch of us balanced on the benches, winner was the last one standing). Anyway, I think it could be a fruit tree of some sort - the leaves are barely sprouting. If you can ID the lichen, but need to see the leaves, I can take a look later this summer (in a month or so when I'm back- late May or early June) and see what the leaves and buds look like and post a new photo. I loved the gnarled bark and lichen so it would be great to id them. I'm reprocessing the photo because I realized my last pass with chromatic aberration reduction made a mess leaving a border around the branches that I missed. Anyway, here's the link - if you need to download a large size image, lmk. I'll set it up and leave the password here. I think you can see enough online with the full size image at PS. Public Link It's a Tiff so it takes a few seconds to load. If it's too slow, I'll upload a jpeg. Thanks much!

I have sent my stock photos many times, but always rejected with "soft due to size" error and I don't understand what it means, someone please help me
