Image size of images uploaded to gallery

Hi

It may answered somewhere already but couldn't find it so here goes. The FAQ/Guideleines clearly state that images should be no bigger than 800px and below 200kb in size. However, several are beyond this.

So, when entering competitions (like the Fuji one) should I keep to under 800px and 200kb or upload full-size? Its relevant as larger images have more impact and so I may be at a disadvantage uploading within the limits recommended.

What is the official policy as I wouldn't want a potential winner being deleted as it was too big!

Hi

We did set the limits to stop our servers filling up, but in practice we have never policed it. I believe the system was meant to not allow images above this file size to be added, but it doesn't seem to be restricting images. You won't be penalised for adding a larger image (if you are able to).

I believe you do have a max amount of space on your account, though, so if you add lots of large images, you'll soon run out of space.

i just hit that exact issue. i cant upload to the competition. maybe i'll just make them all 800px and see if it lets them through.
