Re: Unnecessary Reformatting

That was quick! Thank you, Markus.
My file (attached) was shown as 33k on my computer so I don't think it
was a size issue. At first, by chance, I had an image 150 x 99, and
I wondered if the 100 width was actually a MINIMUM, so that it would
be resized to X x 100 and then the excess of X trimmed back to 150.
So I resized to precisely 100 pixels wide.
While I have your ear, I do think you might allow landscape as well as
portrait orientations. That would allow me to produce a better image
still...
Thanks again,
Roger
PS Hmmm. I think I've found the problem. I believed the PhotoShop
estimate of filesize (33kb) but when I checked the filesize in the
directory, it was over 40kb... I've resized it before sending it,
but will be quite happy to upload it again myself if you confirm
that must have been the problem.
