Hi David,
We appreciate that many members have trouble with resizing large images to attain the Board requirements of below 125Kb per image.
We have provided a "Techie Tip" for resizing in the "Information, Help & Announcements" section of the Board.
See:
https://www.glassmessages.com/index.phptopic,34093.msg154302.html#msg154302The final post (as at today) in that thread has my preferred recommendation for an online resizing routine. It still works well but sadly is now subjected to Ads overlays and the stages of operation can seem a little trickier than they used to be!
However, I tried one of your images through the picresize routine using cropping to reduce the left side and then setting width to 800 pixels. It provided a good image at 130Kb. With a small touch of manual optimising I finalised the image to under 125Kb (if I had set the width in the online routime to, say, 700 pixels the Kb size would have been below the 125 limit).
I also did a fully manual tweaking via Photoshop Elements (old version) and it produced a result as good as the online routine. See the two images below - firstly the online routine (rsz_dsc_0041.jpg [105Kb]) then my fully manual efforts (Cropped-Copy-Resized-800pix-opt.jpg [112Kb])
