Can Anyone Tell Me Why I'm Getting a "Resize Image" Error

I keep getting a "Your video card does not support the image size; please resize to a smaller size before importing".

I've reduced the image to 46ppi and 256px by 256px dimension...how much blasted smaller does it want it?

  • Hi :)
    What format is the picture- .png/jpg/jpeg/gif?
    I haven't used it in years but maybe it's the file size and not the size in px.
  • jpg. and it's at 93kb, how much smaller does it have to get?

    What I may have to do is switch to .png and see if that works. Because evidently it's a problem with .jpg which keeps throwing up these errors. (found this out by googling the problem).

    Edit: In my case, it was better to use .png as a format rather than .jpg. I lost the file-size error and was able to edit the pattern to what I needed.
  • I'm going to open it and see what I get. :)

    *I just imported a 144kb 256x256 jpg -without a problem. :(
    It resized a 435x435 jpg. . . but it imported it at 93.2kb
  • ~sigh~ I guess it's .pngs for me then. :) Because it's weird that it's throwing up errors like that, but what can ya do? At least I was able to get it to work with .png format.
  • I just have to remind myself of that every time I use it because my memory has gone to hell. I'll probably forget by the time I open it next. :mrgreen:
