Title: Hi , I just joined the Club. Living in Springfield OR. Need help attaching Pics
Post by: DAcat51 on October 25, 2026, 02:07:30 AM
Hi fellow Alembic players in the Northwest and all over the world. I am a relative newbie, just got my Alembic Essence around 2019, and because of my age and economics I have decided to sell this absolutely beautiful bass to someone who will use it. So I tried to put it up for sale on the for sale site here , but I am having real problems attaching pics, I keep getting the message that only 1 image is way too  large and I have to keep starting over . can anyone lend a hand?? Thanks,
Peace, DAcat51

Hey there Russell, yes... there is a size limit on pictures. You'll need to resize the big one to less than the max of 1 KB. That's still pretty big. 

Go ahead and post your thread, we'll talk you through it.

Ahem Greg means 1Mb.  :D
One easy way to reduce the size is to send it to yourself as an email. Many email apps/ clients will give you the opportunity so send the image as a smaller file size, (a thowback from a times when email attachments were not as generous as now), select the new size then send.
Then open your email, and save the image to your device with a different file name.

As long as it's under 1mb. You should then be able to upload it to the forum.

Thanks Alembic members,  I am just now in the process of trying to download a compression  app that will reduce the size of my pics.Also, does anyone else have trouble figuring out the trick letters??

Hi @DAcat51 

The trick letters challenge is only for the first five posts that you make, and in general it helps to keep the bots from attempting to interfere.

Happy posting!
