About posting photos MSN Groups provides an easy way for you to share your pictures with family and friends. Before photos can be uploaded to a group, however, they must meet certain conditions: - All pictures for posting to a group must be in the form of a digital image file. These can be created directly, by using a digital camera to photograph the subject and editing software to process it, or ordinary pictures can be converted to digital image files by using a scanner .
- Individual image files must be no larger than 1 megabyte (MB) in size. Large image files take a long time to upload, and quickly use up your file storage allotment. The MSN Photo Upload Control software has tools you can use to optimize the file size and viewing characteristics of the pictures you want to post.
- Image files must be in a format supported by MSN Groups. Format type is indicated by the extension (suffix) at the end of the file name. The most common file name extensions for pictures are .jpg and .gif. However, MSN Groups also supports .tif, .bmp, and .png files.
How much storage space is available for photos? | Each MSN user is limited to a 3 megabytes of total content (photos, files, and message attachments ) for all MSN Groups he or she belongs to. For example, if you belong to a group about your family that has an album and an appointment calendar, and you add photos also to an album in a separate group devoted to pets, the content you have added to both groups will count towards your limit. | | On the first attempt to upload a photo, users of Microsoft Internet Explorer and MSN Explorer are offered the oportunity to automatically download and install the Photo Upload Control tool. This software makes it easy to preview, rename, rotate, crop, and adjust the contrast and brightness of your photos. If you choose not to install the Photo Upload Control software, you can still upload photos and files individually by using your browser's standard upload tools. | |
