Kooshmeister,
You got the dimensions correct, but the file size is still too large (or as antp calls it, too “heavy”). If you right-click on the image and look at the properties it says the file size of 133570 bytes (130 KB). The maximum size allowed to upload is 80 KB, but recommended maximum size for DVD-quality is 40-60 KB depending on the image height and amount of detail in it. This means there needs to be compression of these images to make the file size smaller.
I don’t know what program you used, but in previous instances like this antp has recommended that compression be set to 20 or 25% (or quality to 80 or 75% depending on the program) when resizing. The only program I have experience with for doing this is http://www.xnview.com/, and for that I just leave the compression on the default setting and enter the maximum width or height depending on which aspect ratio.
I should be able to compress these at home tonight so you do not have to re-upload to the photo-hosting service (unless you would like the practice), but for future reference this info can be found here:
