Tips to avoid 1000 Photo limit - TravellerG

[TravellerG]

Dear All,

As you know, that there is a limit of 1,000 photos for LGs, if you use the ‘photo upload’ option, directly from the Connect Posts. But if you use Google Photos and use the ‘Copy/Paste’ option, explained in the post “Solution for the Limit of 1,000 Photos”, we can overcome this barrier. (Kindly read the previous post before reading this post, for full clarity).

Here are my personal recommendations, to use the method, effectively.

Remember:

1. Do NOT ‘Copy & Paste’ from ‘Private’ Album; it will be visible only to you – it won’t be visible to the public.
2. Also, after uploading your photo to a particular ‘Shared Album’, DO NOT MOVE THE PHOTO from there.
3. IMP: After ‘Publishing’ any post, make it a habit to view your POST in ‘Anonymous’ mode. i.e. Open any ‘Browser’ (Firefox, for example); but, do NOT sign in to the Browser. Then open LG Connect (do NOT sign in to LG Connect also) & then view your post. This is the way others see your post.
4. Personal Suggestion for the number of Photos: Using at least one photo in a POST will be good, to make your post more impressive; also, the first photo of any post becomes the cover photo of your post, which will be visible on Connect Board. A minimum of 1 to 3 photos will be appreciated in any General Post, whereas Photo-Posts of Zoo, Flower-show, etc. can go up to 6 to 10 photos. If you have more collections, then I suggest creating ‘Collage’ & show it. Creating a Shared Album & providing the link also works fine.
5. Showing LINKS in bright colours will helps to get more viewers.
6. Bigger Size Photos will take more time to upload and the same way, when the person reads your post, it will take time to download the photo too.

Solution: Resize your Photos to 1980 X 1080 Pixel Size (most of my photos are published in this size only –in Google Map & LG Connect). These photos will be very good for mobiles and good for computers also. Use a good software to ‘resize’.

• For Desktop/Windows, I use ‘Image Resizer for Windows by Brice Lambson’ (Right click on selected photo/s to get the option to RESIZE)
• In mobile, I use, ‘Photo & Picture resizer by Farluner Apps & Games’ (free & powerful App in Google Play store)
• NOTE: You can use images of full resolution, in this method; kindly remember the pros & cons and take your decision.

Dear friends, @PoliMC @sonnyNg @MashaPS @HimsBoss @Siddiqui-BA @BeatrizAguilar @Shailz @Laofdez @Shahneywaj @Venky_lightbug & all, is there anything we can add to make Connect more LIVE?

Thanks.

Hi @TravellerG ,

Thank you for the additional tips. I also resize my photos when I post them on Connect but the quality remains the same to the naked eye.

Using colours in the posts is a fun way to make the selected text to pop. I should try it too.

Thanks for sharing @TravellerG

I never knew we had a photo limit

[PoliMC]

Hi @TravellerG ,

Thanks a lot for the tag!

Your post give us very good tips and it’s very useful for the other Local Guides as well! I hope the other Local Guides will take these advices!

[sonnyNg]

Hi @TravellerG ,

Thanks for letting us the next part of the tip. : ]

I remember some parts that you have mentioned in the end of the post, where I have also learned from your previous topics Photo Tips - Megapixel & Megabytes - TravellerG and Photo Tips - Megapixels & Megabytes - TravellerG.

[Siddiqui-BA]

@TravellerG , thanks a lot for your detail informations and tips on photo limits, also the resizing photos before posts. It will be very helpful for the local guides like me who do not know about the limitations. One question from me, Is this limit is for attachment of photos. with posts only? Thank you.

[TravellerG]

Yes, dear brother, @Siddiqui-BA :

1. You can post any number of New Posts or Answer any number of posts, too, in LG Connect.
2. Photos, if attached directly in the POST, like this, then you have to limit within 1,000 photos.

3. Also, NOTE that you cannot delete the old photos, as your post will miss it, if anyone reads it, later.

Previous post clarifies, many other points, dear. Hope your doubt is cleared fully.

Sincerely yours

[TravellerG]

Great to know that, dear @MoniDi - “…quality remains the same to the naked eye…” if we use a good software (using efficient compression algorithm), what you told is very correct.

If time permits, you can try the software, I have suggested.

Both the posts, referred by our @sonnyNg will be of good help to you, if time permits.

Thanks

[TravellerG]

Yes, dear friend, @OmerAli ,

We have a Photo LIMIT (of 1,000) and each photo should be LESSER than 3 MB, in size, in LG Connect, if we use the Connect POST option.

If you use Google Photo method, which I explained in the previous post, then there is not Number Limit or Size limit.

Hope, you are clear.

[OmerAli]

Thanks a lot brother.

I had absolutely no clue, but from now onwards, I will use these handy tips

cheers

[TravellerG]

Thanks for your kind words, dear @PoliMC & happy to note that these posts are useful.

“…hope the other Local Guides will take these…” God alone knows this… Many times, I feel that I am wasting my time & boring many… honestly.

Another helpful post @TravellerG

Thank you for sharing with us.

[TravellerG]

Thank you so much for referring my posts here, dear friend @sonnyNg ; that gave me an opportunity to correct few typo-mistakes, in the old post - thanks, once again.

As rightly expressed by @PoliMC “…hope the other Local Guides will take these…” - I really do not know…

[Siddiqui-BA]

@TravellerG , thank you very much for your detail informations.

[sonnyNg]

Perhaps I remember the posts as specific lessons, that’s the reason I could recall them, @TravellerG .

Ah, the mistakes must have been minor, I am glad to hear that. : ]

[AdriansyahPutera]

[mrmillennial]

Awesome, informing post

[DavidTito]

@TravellerG is there any suggestions for us to recheck our own photos to make sure they are in the right perspective?

[TravellerG]

you are always, welcome bro @Siddiqui-BA - its my pleasure to be with you all, by grace of God…

[TravellerG]

“…as specific lessons…” that is a nice compliment & hug for me… thanks, dear friend @sonnyNg - you are a keen observer - God bless you.

“…mistakes must have been minor…” but still - thanks.
