Checking
Image Size
 Now,
having resized and compressed our image, we need to make sure
that it fits within the size limitations set forth by reefcentral.com.
To do this, first locate our image file. Since we
saved it to the desktop earlier, we minimize our IrfanView application
to view our desktop.
Once we have located our icon, simply right-click
on it and a popup menu will appear. From this menu select "Properties."
A dialogue box will appear containing some information
such as the date created, modified, etc. We are interested
in the file size. There are two sizes "Size" and "Size
on disk." Depending on the storage medium, sectors, block size
and type of format, the later value can differ between different systems.
The true file size is the first value, "Size," and this
is what reefcentral.com verifies when a file is uploaded.
Make sure this value is under 50 KB. If not,
then we need to go back and resize/recompress using smaller image dimensions
and/or higher compression ratios.
