I am trying to upload a photo, and it fits according to the specifications. I am choosing to upload a bigger file, and it is no more than 1100 megapixels and the size of the file is 432Kb which is less than the maximum allowed, which is 500. Everytime I try I keep getting Error: The file you are trying to upload cannot be found. How can it not be found when I'm pointing it right to the photo? :mad:

sorry, I meant 1100 pixels.

hmmm, try moving it to a different folder and try again? Check its a JPEG? Never seen this before.

It is a Jpeg. I moved it to another folder. No change.

Hi Hal,
I had this problem when i tried to work from photoshop. The solution for me was to save it for web. When going straight out of Lightroom, I haven't had a problem.

I am using Lightroom, and the other photos I posted went up with no problems.

I tried uploading the same photo from another computer and it worked. Strange indeed. Not sure why, but maybe it had something to do with the way I resized the photo the first time, or maybe it has something to do with the version of Windows I am using. When I tried to upload the photo the first time, I did it from my laptop at home, which is running Windows 7 64 bit. I have never uploaded from that one before. The first Snowy Owl photo was uploaded from my laptop at work, which is still running Windows XP Pro. I can only guess. :confused:

Very odd indeed Hal. I've not heard of that issue before. I usually save anything I want to post, straight to my desktop, browse for it using the browse button in the gallery and upload it with no problems.
If it happens again send either myself or Nate an email and we'll look into it further.
