Question, I've noticed many qparts (prototypes/unreleased colors of genuine
lego) in my collection having no picture here on the catalog of bricklink, I
see regular people updated pictures in the past. Can this still be done after
TLG took this site over? If so how can I do this to contribute to the site? Also
is there a max of size for pictures? Anno 2020 I would think not, but not every
site is that modern I noticed.
Regards,Matth

Ok I was afraid for this, I've downloaded an app to size my pix to JPG format
or the other but still too big, I went from 900KB to 25KB and still my picture
is too big, and the quality already was beyond at this rate. I knew it would
be a hard one to do as this site is as old as F***. Too bad, I had few hundred
colors I could added... But too much drama and work

You should create a 600 X 800 PIXELS image and than you can upload it.
I uploaded today few images for the catalog. It's not difficult at all.

Please try again! I found this images is very helpful, specially with q elements.

Hello, after someone was so kind to put a link of a convertor in chat I finally
managed to resize a picture (lol), I did 2 tests now on a black large leaf partnr
2518, was my first test , something went wrong with the shape of picture, then
I uploaded a bright light orange cook hat headgear partnr 3898. Both are not
shown yet in the catalogue, I guess they need to be aproved first? Does this
take long? About the 2 pictures they are ok? I took the leaf from the underside
up bec it's released in small version in black, inside shows the difference
better. If needed I make a new one. But I like to know all the info before I'm
starting on my other stuff...

Kind regards,Matth
