Hi all.

I'm pretty sure, like a lot of us who use this website, we have items that
are not within this catalogue's database, and would like to submit images
(like stickered parts)

I have tried so many times in the past, to re-size images to get under the 800x600
pixel limit, and have failed.

I can understand why the limit IS there, but with this day and age of high resolution
cameras on mobile phones, I have found that I still can't re-size images
to a size suitable.

Is it possible that BL's programmers will understand that this limit can
be lifted for image submissions ONLY.

for example, I submit an image of an item, and it's too big to use within
the catalogue, the CAT ADMIN can use that image, and re-size it suitably, as
not all of us are knowledgeable of various programs that will allow this to happen,
as this will really 'encourage' people to submit images, because I have
often 'given-up' trying to re-size images, and I'm pretty sure that
I'm not the only one.

If this isn't a suitable thing to do, then maybe someone can point me in
the right direction so that I can do this?

Regards,

Paul
