What's the trick for posting pictures now?

Screenshot of the pic on any phone

 

Not for me. When I screen shot any pic it is still wayyyyy too large to upload.

 

I tried the screenshot method, usually had a black top and bottom border. I hit edit tab, resize to 40% (1200 × 1600) and it loads fine and resolution is good.

 

Resizing to 80% on my Android phone, gets my pictures postable.

 

I've had some at 60% that were still to large.

 

Curious how large your pics are. I have a 12MP cam. Most pics are around 4-5MP. Screenshot usually reduces them by 75% size...1-1.25MP.

 

Something is goofy I just resized a pic to under a meg and it told me it was too big. I gave up...
