No thumbnails option for my pictures
-
Hello!
I am having a problem with my pictures. When I upload them according to the instructions, I do not get an option for them to be “thumbnails,” only “full size.” This means they are HUGE when they are put into the post, and I have to scale each one down manually every time.
Am I forgetting to do something? I can’t figure out why I am not able to upload them as a thumbnail.
Thank you in advance. My site is http://hellastella.wordpress.com/, and I have one picture posted that I scaled down manually.

That’s happened to me sometimes. If I don’t see the thumbnail listed when I hit send to editor, I cancel out then hit browse all, find the image and click on it and then the “thumnail” selection will appear. At least this has worked for me.

Good idea… I will try that! Thanks again. My pics are so huge that it will be tough to do it manually every time.

They are… Well… Huge. I can’t seem to figure out how to make them smaller… None of my editing programs have an easy resizing option. My camera uploads them with a really high resolution.
Any suggestions? Is that why the thumbnail option never shows up? They are just too big?
It says 3mb under each pic in my Browse All section.

That’s ginormous. Yes, it’s a problem.
Your camera is taking them at really hi rez, it has nothing to do with uploading. You can change that. If your owner’s manual isn’t handy, your camera maker surely has a website with a manual on line or a way to get help. Your photo editing software must have help, on line or as part of the program.
Resizing alone won’t change the resolution.
Please read this for some pointers:

That is super helpful. Thanks so much. I’ll play around with the pictures/camera and see if that works.

You’re welcome. If you have an uploading problem after optimizing your photos, come back here and let us try to sort things out for you, k?

Oh dear… I looked through the FAQs, and I missed that somehow! Sorry. I’m usually pretty thorough before posting here.
Thanks, and I’ll come back for sure if this optimizing thing doesn’t work out. It sounds right though. :)

Today again I could not get a thumbnail. It worked for the first picture, but not for the second one, though I tried several times. It has happened before. So I simply waited a day or two. There are now only two options, full size and only title. — (Today, also, at one point the “delete” option was out; so I wondered whether maybe my computer is at fault, an old thing, but such a dearie….)

Sorry. Mea culpa. I had resized the image down to 125 KB. I did not know that this would not at the same time reduce its pixel dimensions! It is a strange thing, these sizes. I took it for granted that if it was small in KB, it would be low quality and therefore few pixels. Not so.
Sorry.

It has to do with the actual downsizing to produce a thumbnail with the stuff wordpress has. 2000 px on the longest dimension is the limit.
