May be a temporary local issue, no problem here from the UK if that helps.....

Nope. No problem here.

 

[BirdsofBC]

No problems here. Wish I had an answer.

I looked behind the scenes but can't find anything wrong.

Error says the file is too large, not the image size. Have you tried reducing the file size to see if that works?

 

[Levina de Ruijter]

B, have you tried just dragging it into Focus? That way size won't matter.

 

[BirdsofBC]

at work now. the file is 44.7 kb.

will investigate later.

That's what I always do. I still revise when exporting from LR to 1500 on the long side. Just haven't had any issues so far.

The thumbnail is, but not the full res file, is it?

 

[BirdsofBC]

right. the thumbnail. anyways, will check later. all I know is I did nothing differently.

Some of my files are rejected as too big here that work fine at POTN. Sam (WC Birder) looked into it and found that the sample file I sent him really was too big. The problem is KB/MB size, not pixel count. My computer sometimes misreports the results of compression. I can't fix that.

An example: https://focus-on-photography-forum.net/threads/post-your-minimal-photos.249/#post-8123
(not the sample Sam analyzed)
For the full-size color version, 1300 x 954 px, Little Mackie says 707 KB, well under the maximum set in Focus's control room.

 

[Levina de Ruijter]

We've set the max weight of a file to 1.6MB. That is more than sufficient for most images. However, if you drag it into Focus you can go way above that because it then uses a proxy and the file gets downsized. Not sure why that is not working right now for BirdsofBC. We have no error reports, nothing.

I don't upload there(POTN), never have. I've only linked from my website, or Flickr sometimes.

anyways, no worries. I figure it out.

Hey, I just found something called Compress. It's in the File menu.

OhLook, that is for creating zip files!

What exactly did you figure out? Might be helpful for others who are having similar problems.
