Hi everyone,

I love seeing all the wonderful paintings shared here—it’s truly inspiring to see everyone’s work! However, I’ve noticed that many of the uploaded photos are quite large in file size, often exceeding 1 MB.

Would it be possible for us to aim to keep photo file sizes under 1 MB? This would make it easier for everyone to view and load the images, especially for those with slower internet connections or limited data. Reducing file sizes can be as simple as resizing the image or using a photo compression tool before uploading. Since the forum has limited space, smaller file sizes would help us manage storage better and ensure the forum runs smoothly for everyone. You can use the markup tool if you are on a apple, on your phone you can use The Snapseed app. Or online on pixlr.com

Thank you so much for considering this, and I look forward to seeing more of your amazing artwork!

Best regards,
