Recently I've been able to post photos from my new phone without the need for resizing down to 500. Today I've had to resize all the phone photos. Has anyone else discovered the same? I wonder why this is happening?

I wonder why too, the present system just isn't up to the job, which in this day and age isn't value for money.

By the way although people talk about using sizing apps everyone should be able to do this on their phones in export and on your own pcs in edit. One thing for me having to find ways round this site to get things posted has improved my own limited knowledge.

Don't know about Android brue, but all using export on my iphone does is bring up various options, none of which relate to resizing.

To achieve that it is necessary to amend the settings so an appropriate App appears in export. Also of couse if you don't already have one, this would need to be downloaded.

In my case that is the image size app. This can also be used independently of course. However, it's a bit quicker if you tell it to appear on the export options screen.

On Android go to the three vertical dots on photos which brings up a short list including export. Export should then bring up size/mb, reduce the 0 x 0 size to 500, press done and use this for CT. I am surprised that Apple haven't got a similar set up, is it under "more" ...? 

On pc just now will do a test via Android next.

Test. Montacute House resized to 500, android. It has lost the sharpness when expanded. Recently when no resizing was needed it was perfect when expanded.

Just looked up resizing on ipads, so you can't do this without downloading an app, one of the reasons I like android! I assumed wrongly that ipads were invincible....laughing

No the more is what allows you to add Apps like image size. 

However, apart from the fact it does not seem to come with a reduction program built in, once you have downloaded one, it works much the same. Literally taking only a few seconds to resize.

It does depend of course on what you photo started out as, but it does seem to have lost a lot of sharpness. This similar photo taken on my phone at 4.2 MB has been reduced by the App to just under 500kb and still looks reasonably sharp.

Your photo was reduced by CT from 1230x922 pix to 350x262 - an odd ratio! That's a further 69% reduction.
