In reply to the discussion: Rules change: longest side and file size for Contest Submission photos [View all]Mira
(22,507 posts)2. I'm too ignorant to change them,
so I'm going to need help with that. I thought all I would have to do is click on a different size for importing the image. I will have to research this, because I will be happy when all our photos are larger which is what I think the outcome of this exercise will be.
I'm delighted mnhttnbb is taking this on - she understands it - I don't. When she ran the contest she is referring to my photo was too large and I did not know it, but she alerted me to it. It turned out I could not see the size the photo was showing in because "my account" setting here at DU was set to Standard, and when I switched to Classic the real size showed up.

OP
A lot of the distress about longest side is due to the Standard/Classic account setting

If your image is in portrait mode, it will mean scrolling, even at the old standards.
