 I've recently saved some scanned photos on my PC, but can't seem to get them to upload on the web, anyone have experience with this?

Thanks

Open the file and just resave it as a jpg.

They probably are to big to save into the gallery make a copy of them so you can keep the original and resize it smaller to meet the gallery size limit of under 2000kb. I have better luck with photos around the 500kb range and 800X600.

smdave, that's probably the recommended size (500 kb each). Someone behind a thick internet line might be able to upload larger images but they might start experiencing problems when they become larger than 1000kb.   

Bottom line - there rarely is a reason to upload an image file larger than 1000kb into the photo gallery. Usually photos of this size are too large for most 15 or 17 inch monitors and most can see what is in a majority of photos that are 800 x 600 pixels.

Wow..1000kb
I rarely post anything more then 90kb usually with 640x480 dimensions. It makes for faster loading pages and will ease size and maintenance issues down the road.

Somewhere in your scanner software you should be able to crop your scan. Here is a link to some scannng tips. http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/scanning/Scanning_Software_Tips_and_Help.htm
If not, here is a link to Picasa. http://picasa.google.com/ It is free editing software that allows you to crop, rotate, lighten, etc.

croppping is easier if you scan them square.  meaning.......when you scan them, have them squared with the corner of your scanner.  Some scanners (Canon for instance) will auto crop your image if you put it in that corner and have it squared up.  If you put it in the middle, then it will not  and you will have to manually crop it.
