The Gallery seems awfully persnickety about accepting photos. While it will accept a picture 800w by 600h, it won't accept one 600w by 800h. Also, I placed some appropriately-sized pictures in the wrong sub-album, then realised my mistake. After some searching, I figured out how to delete them, then found out I couldn't place the very same photos in the proper sub-album: supposedly "the file size was too large". I checked - they're the same size they were when I originally put them in the wrong sub-album. What gives? And while I'm at it, why are my re-sized pictures (all 800x600, except for the ones that are 450x600) showing as such disparate file sizes? They're all at the same resolution, so what exactly determines the file size?
Thanks for any illumination you can provide.

Image Settings
Upload Multiple Images at a time --- 10
Maximum file size (bytes) --- 128000 bytes
Maximum image width (pixels) --- 800
Maximum image height (pixels) --- 600
Resize bigger images -------- Yes
Maximum-width on
viewing image --- 800
Maximum-height on
viewing image --- 600
Ok - so, if you uploaded something 800 tall, it may not have been able to resize it correctly, since the Width was less than 800.. it didn't know what to do with it.
any image larger on both sizes (Ex. 650 high X 900 wide) will be shrunk down
Resized to approximately 600 X 800. So that's why the larger images are 600 x 800
further - just so they display nicely, we have the
Viewing Image sizes set to.. you guessed it --- 600 X 800

So you're saying that I can upload images
larger than the acceptable size and they'll be automatically re-sized? That would be a real timesaver (and space-saver too, as I'm keeping files of the originals plus a duplicate of the re-sized images on my computer). The ones that were accepted in the wrong sub-album (my mistake) had been re-sized prior to uploading, but the same photos, all 600H by 800W, wouldn't upload when I tried to place them in the correct sub-album.
I try to learn something new everyday, but not all of it really sinks in.

Looks like not! I've just attempted to upload a single, already re-sized image to my "Structures" sub-album. The picture is 600H x 800W, and at a resolution of 230 ppi, the same as all pictures uploaded thus far. A click on "Properties" shows the size to be 151kb. Some of the GERN photos already uploaded are the same dimensions but over 190kb, but I'm getting that "Your file is too big" message with this one. (That one just
begs a comment, but I'll restrain myself.)

Well I thought I might try to add a few photos to the Gallery, but finding out how to do it might take a lot of instructions.
I see guys complaining about the larger files taking so long on dial-up. I can't imagine the time it takes the way these low resolution pictures are displayed. They are slow on my broadband service. IMHO, the gallery is not the best I have ever seen.
a slide show option would be nice too.
