I think it has to 2mb or less in size.

Yep as Oldboy said the max file size is 2MB but I have had problems with files over 1MB so I keep them under that now , not that it makes much difference as the images seem to be limited to a max pixel width of 900px no matter how many MB it is .

Based on the above it all seems straightforward enough but ...

I was uploading to the latest challenge " B&W Landscapes". Magazine says click on that category and then simply press the Upload button. But there are two upload buttons or even three if you count the Quick Upload at the bottom of the screen/page.

How can I be sure that I've uploaded to the challenge and not just to the general gallery - there doesn't seem to be any identifier on any of my pictures - some of ecah uploaded with one of the two buttons?

BTW - yes I know I should have read the T&Cs but who holds the copyright to the uploaded photos? I was concerned to see that I can email anyone's photos to anyone at all!

I attempted to upload some images for the B&W Landscape challenge but was rejected due to being closed!! Is there a cut off time for submissions? It's still the 15 Oct wherein it states today is the deadline.

Unfortunately I only bought this issue on the weekend past so it was a bit of a scramble to gather my images... sigh, but I must have missed something somewhere about the timing.

Can anyone enlighten me in this regard? I did read the Terms and Conditions... perhaps too fast to have absorbed sufficiently. ;-)

Cheers.

Hiya, new user and can't upload my images to the monthly competition. I have followed all the advice and guidance given here but keep getting an error message.

There is a size limit I believe, people tend to restrict images to 1MB generally which seems to sort the issue out.

New to this forum, most of my images are over the size limit of 900x1600 can someone advise me how too reduce them so i can download my shots

Use flickr or imageshack or some other photo sharing site as its a lot easier
