Since we now have this fancy attachment system, it seems a waste not to at

least try it.  This was taken yesterday while flying between Langley, BC

and Chilliwack, BC.

Awsome picture Rob.  The list seems pretty dead this weekend, must be some event going on somewhere.

We've always had the ability to enclose pics on the RV-10 list but please

consider the problems associated with the increase in message size when you

enclose pics. I reposted the formation pic (very impressive) after using the

powertoy suggested by Matt and with one click it reduced the formation pic

from 200K to 50K. I think it would be a good idea for us to reduce pic size

whenever possible.

Of course, sending a message with a more highly compressed picture twice 

cuts down on the amount one saves by compressing the picture...  I know, 

at least in my case, I would rather have a picture that is twice as 

large rather than two smaller copies of the same picture   ...

When I saw that I had sent that message twice, I knew I 'was in for it'. For

penance, I went out in the garage and drilled out 35 acceptable rivets, all

of them in hard to reach areas. Previously I used Photoshop to resize

pictures but this resizing tool works great, is fast, and the price is

right. I used it on the photos I've been taking of my RV-10 project and it

reduced them from about 400K to about 50K taking about 30 seconds to reduce

35 pictures. Now, out to the garage to set 35 rivets.

I think Rob's higher resolution photo was very appropriate for an aerial

photo of a formation flight with a detailed background. The lower resolution

is great for closer-up photos like we might take of an engine or airframe

detail, but when there's a lot of information or maybe for a photo of

someone's new paint job, at least for me I prefer the higher resolution. I

might not feel the same if I had dial-up.



By the way, great photo, Rob. I saved your message awhile back about taking

air to air photos. Good stuff.

Boy, you really must have felt guilty if you drilled out 35 good rivets!

I promise, you wouldn't feel the same if you were stuck with dialup.



The file size generated by 'smallest' using the MS software is plenty 

for viewing on a computer screen & the larger ones really hurt, when you 

get a few dozen every time you download email (multiple lists).



It's easy to check file size before attaching the photo to an email & 

the 60% of us still stuck with dialup would be grateful.

Well, Matt has just given us carte-blanche to post items to the 'list.  If

you think a 200k image is bad, you might want to consider what will happen

when someone thinks their vacation photos would be appropriate.  For anyone

on dial-up, I would say that this list has just stopped being a viable

resource for you, and that's unfortunate.



Someone posted that I should use the Microsoft "Resize" powertoy.  If that

person had been a little more observant, they would have seen that I *did*

use the powertoy, to create that image.  I'm assuming nobody wanted the

7.5MB raw image posted to the 'list, so I compressed it to 200kB.  Any

smaller, and I believe the image loses too much of its impact.  I'm sorry

if you disagree, but as the artist I prefer that my image reflect the scene

as I saw it and the smaller images just don't do it.



Finally, i'll point out that I have only received *two* of the replies to

my original post.  The reply with the smaller image never reached me, the

suggestion to use the powertoy never reached me, and two of the other

messages referred to elsewhere in the thread never reached me either. 

Maybe this attachment thing has messed up some other part of the

distribution mechanism for the list...
