I have been attempting to do a recap for the past few days with our pro pics but I cannot upload them. The upload will just stop and sit there forever. I eventually get fed up and then abort it. I have used the photos on other sites such as FB and Shutterfly so my issue is just on WB. Obviously, everyone and their cousin is doing recaps, so I am doing something wrong. Help the computer illiterate pweeeeeeese.

Something similar happened to me when I tried to do my recap, the problem was the size of my photos. Took me two days to figure that out! The photo can’t be any bigger than 5MB, so if they are bigger, you’ll have to resize them first. I hope that helps!

I’m with @Cherylmarie2818 — it’s likely the size of your files! Try opening them & saving them as “compressed” JPEGs a couple of times. Or you can crop them. (But be sure to go to “save as” & change the filename, and not save over your good quality propics!)
As an alternative (and I have no idea if this’ll work or not!), can you “embed” in WB using the HTML code from Shutterfly or Photobucket or somesuch?

yup it has to be because they are too big. has happened to me before. i never knew how to resize them myself so what i did was upload them to facebool (in an album that “only me” could see), then download them and fb will have resized them for you.
