I can't get the picture to compress enough to upload. Are you taking the picture with your phone? If so, the camera screen should have a 'settings' button (usually a gear wheel). Go into the settings and you should be able to reduce the resolution of the picture it takes; 3-4 Mp should be good. Then take the picture again and see if it's small enough to load. My phone is a LG Stylo 2. It's a non-contract phone that is meant to be cheaper. As a consequence, the camera isn't that sophisticated. There aren't that many settings to choose from and the pictures themselves aren't as good as other cell phone pics unless they're in HDR mode.

Well, another way to do it (less precise) is to back up a bit and zoom in on the document. Basically you're cropping in real time when you use digital zoom. Probably sounds weird, but it works.

caseyrook AKA Mechelle If you still have GIMP I can walk you through the downsizing. Let me know. EDIT: If you can get the picture onto your PC, that is.
