I tried to upload 3 pics but it didn't take. Each pic is about 4.5 MB. Maybe too big a file?

Your screen can only display 72 DPI amd most screens are 14" to 25".
So start by saving a copy at 72 DPI somewhere around 6" to 10" wide.
Depending upon your softwear you might have a "save for the web" option.
This downgrades the image and changes colour to the "web safe" gammit and drops the file size down substantially.

Well the File Upload Manager didn't do any better. I'll have to re-lick that calf this weekend with the iPhone and see how that goes. Couldn't re-size what I have with what is loaded on the computer.

If you are running Micro sloth, download the pictures to your computer then email them to yourself.
Usually MicroSloth automatically resizes emailed images.
People forget that there is a finite limit to the size of an image that individual machines can handle.
Professional photographers are the worst.
They used to send images to the trade houses in RAW format 64 bit files that were anything up to 5Gb per image in order to "keep the depth resolution & colour".
The trade houses all work in 8 bit colour so they downgrade the image do whatever processing was required then interpolate the tiny file back into a gargantuan 64 bit file ,convet it back into RAW format then send it back to the photographers who never ever noticed the quality difference.
It might make one feel great to think you have an image with 2,000,000 shades of grey in it, but the newspapers can only print 8 of them and a glossy magazine 32 and a fine art print 64.
Most men can see about 24 of them and women around 200.

Downsized the pics in Paint and got a popup from the site saying the pics can be no larger than 1200x1200. Aha! Downsized a little more to meet the max size criteria and they still wouldn't load. Converted them to PDFs and they would upload but when you clicked on the pic it would download to my computer. Don't figure anyone wants to download my mower pics. Here's one pic. Still working on it though...
