Question
I have one of your new sites with the bulk uploader yet every time I upload an image it says that the file I have uploaded is too big and may be slow loading even though the image I uploaded is tiny.
Answer:
Please know that the bulk uploader does most of the image sizing and web optimization for you, however, this only functions properly if you begin with a larger image than what the size allows. If the image is smaller than the allotted area no web optimization will occur and you will end up with an image that is small in dimension but large in file size. A good rule of thumb is to size your images to be 600 pixels high (whether they are vertical or horizontal). At that size your images should upload nice and quickly and it will also allow the database to do it's work in sizing and optimizing the image for you. You may still encounter the odd image or two when uploading images that does not fall under the recommended file size of 70 K or less - in these cases a warning will appear in orange that the image is large and may be slow loading. Orange warnings are not too much of a concern if you are catering to the broadband user, however, if you are catering to dial up users you will need to size and optimize the image by hand and re-upload it. Red warnings will tell you that your image may not load at all - these images should be resized and optimized by hand as well by using the save for web feature in photoshop - exact dimensions will be given in these cases.
