Fiona Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hi there I'm new to Alamy and just nervously uploading my test. It accepted 3 of my images happily but has rejected the fourth and I don't understand why. The file was a tiff of 195MB uncompressed. I then compressed it and changed it to jpeg, as I had all the others. But when I uploaded it the computer stated that it was not a big enough file and that it should be over 24mb uncompressed. What have I done wrong? Or is it a technical error on the computer's part? thanks so much Fiona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Not sure what you did wrong, but that sounds like an awfully big TIF. Are you sure you converted it to eight bits before saving it as a JPEG? Alamy SizeCheck is a useful little program. You can download it here.

Alamy SizeCheck is a useful little program. You can download it here. Newer versions of PS don't need conversion to eight bits before converting to jpg - done automatically in the process. Can also recommend the SizeCheck programme for a quick check. Are you sure, Fiona, that you have saved the jpg as Baseline (Standard) in Format options??

John Mitchell Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 "Newer versions of PS don't need conversion to eight bits before converting to jpg - done automatically in the process." Perhaps, like me, Fiona is using an older version that does require conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
