Well make it smaller, I'd say!  ;D

Save as .jpg or such!  :thumbs:

I do not know why it is 4 mb

Because it is that big, presumably.

Can't you alter it with a graphics application? What's the format now?

You know..  picture.bmp?  or picture.jpg?   what's the extension?

And if it's like, a 4mb .bmp file, open it in paint, and save it again as a .jpg file.

That should slim it down a lot.

Why dont you open the Shonan Maru in what ever editing programme your using.
I.e. Sketchup.

Then take a photo of your screen but pressing the "Prnt Scrn" button.
Then paste it into a new paint document.

And save it as PNG. :thumbs:

I'm sure it would work like that  :)

OK

If it is sketchup, if I may further suggest something.

It's easier if you just go  File -> Export -> 2D Graphic

Then it will save a render of the screen only (not the user interface) and you can select the output image format there aswell.

png would work, but jpg is even smaller, so whatever you need to get under the allowed maximum size, will do. You can always experiment with the various file types.

Allowed file attachments on this forum are: doc,gif,jpg,mpg,pdf,png,txt,zip,dat,img,xls,csv  (obviously not all are image files)
