One way is to open paint, click edit and paste, then save the file ensuring it doesnt exceed the max size allowed. Then upload the image via managed attachments.

Another way to reduce image size in paint is to do it with the image attributes option, and change the size to the max allowed. This trims the image though, it doesnt scale it, so you have to ensure the data you want to show doesnt get trimmed. This method doges lost image clarity due to scaling. Its not great if you use a very high resolution though.

PROBLEM SOLVED!

From the last experiments I suspected the SPL meter and sure enough; replaced it and all works reliably. I want to thank all the many writers that helped narrow this down. An intermittent electrical problem is the worst and most frustrating.

THANKS ALL. With a fixed tool I can now fixate on the acoustics!http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/images/smilies/t.gif

Not sure if this applies to you, but if the meter bangs of its limits a lot (clips) it will mess it up. It can also happen if it gets left on and picks up sounds that cause it to clip too.

No Worries :T. We all do that from time to time :R

Ive never done it myself, but have been warned a couple times from others that constant clipping knackers the meters up. Occasional is ok though, it happens. I suppose its just like with amps and speakers, and doing your best to make sure you dont overdrive them.
