Welcome and it is interesting that you have gone with an Australian native for your first bonsai, so many congratulations for that decision.
I understand that there are some "instructions" in Wiki about re-sizing photos. I'm not the one to ask though.
I hope you enjoy the bonsai journey.

Hello John,

Welcome to AusBonsai

Regarding attaching photos to threads see below:

AusBonsai has a limit of 1MB per image, so we all must reduce our image's size before attaching to a thread.
A good all round file size for images is around 500KB.
A simple free app for resizing images is 'Image Resizer'. Once loaded onto your phone / computer it's as simple as right clicking on the image, select Image Resizer, then select a minimum size around 800px x 600px.
On a Windows PC, i generally use 'Paint', either will work okay.

G'day John,

Welcome from another pretty new person. One way I have found to resize photos is to use the default photo viewer in windows 10, right click on the image after it's loaded then select resize. I usually choose the M -2mp option. Seems to work for me, as for any other advice on bonsai, at the point in my journey it would only be misleading ;)
