Another question about file sizes-when I look at the computer file info, for this picture it says 13.2MB 6016 x 4016. When you say 1000 pixels, is it one of these numbers?
The first number is the width (in pixels). The second is the height. For ATP, the maximum width that will be displayed is 1000 pixels. So when you upload a photo, it shrinks it to 1000 pixels wide and adjusts the height proportionally.
The 13.2mb is the file size. How much space it takes on your hard drive - and how much info is in the picture. If you were to drag an ATP photo to your desktop, you'd notice that the file size is significantly smaller. The one I'm looking at right now is 1/2 of a megabyte.
One thing you can do to save yourself some time and frustration on the uploading (as well as saving your bandwidth and Dave's) is to save a copy of the picture at 1000pixels wide. Most photo editors and even some viewers have the option to do it. Just make sure that you don't overwrite the original picture with the one you're trying to shrink. That would be (and has been) tragic.
