Resize the photo. CF has a limit of 1000KB or 1 MB (I think). So if your photo is over this it won't work. Also E-mailing photos that are over 1500 KB in total is asking for trouble. Do a little at a time.

Thanks.
You can open the photo in Microsoft "Photos" by right clicking the photo, going down to "Open with" and selecting "Photos". After it is opened in "Photos" click on the three dots in the upper right hand corner and chose "Resize". Pick "M" (2 MP for emails and messages). Save it under a modified name so that you still have the original. That should do it.

You're welcome. I use it for all the photos that I post on CF. It's quick and easy and "Photos" is built right in to Windows 10. For the good stuff, I use PhotoPad Image Editor by NCH.

You can also resize from your iPhone when loading the picture. When you select the picture to attach, click where it says “actual size” at the bottom of the screen and switch it to large.
Here's another thing you might want to try. You could download a free photo editor, for example Pixlr here: https://pixlr.com/e/#home
I don't use it much anymore because I have Affinity Photo (almost as good as photoshop but cheaper), which as in any photo editor you can also re-size your pics.
Anyway, after you signup, open a picture, do whatever photo editing you want on it, or do nothing to it. Then 'save' it. When you save it you have the option of how to save it, how large the file or pic is in KB or whatever. Again if it's too large just downsize it a bit.
Realize that when downsizing an image you are also degrading the image and sharpness. So it is often a balancing act. How much resolution do you want vs. how big the file or pic is.
