    I probably knew the answer to this at one time, but it's been so long since I've uploaded any photos that I no longer remember. And now that I'm starting to work through the backlog of all my summer photos it brings up a question.

    Does the RI software automatically resize uploaded photos to max 640 pixels? And if it does, does that mean that I don't need to carefully resize before uploading?

    or

    Does the RI software actually store a copy of whatever photo I upload, and just resize the displayed image? And therefore in the interest of saving space should I carefully resize before uploading?

    or

    Some other combination of actions?

    Thanks

    Ed

    It will automatically resize it down for you. Keep in mind the initial image can not be over 2MB in size before you try to upload the image.

    Thanks. Just what I needed to know.

    Now that I have your attention, how about a recommendation for a free photo hosting site for my non-railroad photos? Ease of operation is the only really important factor.

    Thanks again,

    Ed
