I did take some and tried, but an error message kept saying that the pictures were too big. Any help would be appreciated.
I don't remember what the genvibe attachment size limit is, a quick test seems to point to maybe 512 KB. These days, cameras and phones take huge pictures. I have to resize my pictures before I can upload them here. Loading a modern full res image in the middle of a forum post can force a browser to add horizontal scroll bars, which I hate.
I have never owned a single item from Apple, so can't say how to resize a pic on one, but the hype is that its so intuitive nobody needs instructions. I have a windows 10 computer, and use a free image program called Irfanview for things like a quick crop, resize, etc and use a different more powerful image software for when I combine pictures, and add circles, arrows and a paragraph to each one.
Windows 10 has a program called Paint3D. I don't use it, but its can be used to crop and resize pictures To resize an image in Paint, load the image, then click on "Canvas in the top menu bar. In the canvas pane that pops up, change the width to something smaller. I tend to use widths of 640, 800 (throwbacks to display sizes of yesteryear) After changing the width, tab to the height entry, which should change to match the scale of the new width. Then under the top Menu, save the resized picture as a new name (so you don't overwrite the original.) Then use explorer or other to check the file size of the new file.
Sometimes its also useful to crop an image, trim it down to only show the part of a picture that matters. If you crop the pic to remove randowm background on the edges, or perhaps something you don't want to include in the publicly posted image, then the part you keep wiil be larger and show more detail after the resize than it would if you included the unrelated extra background
