Question
Is there a way to know in gigabytes the size of a category I have created in PE7?  When I tried to upload a category from Photoshop Organizer to the website PHOTOSHOP.COM, I am told that the category is too large because it exceeded the 2 gigabyte amount of storage available at the Basic level, none of which is currently being used, as I have turned off the Synchronization. There are about 370 pictures in this one category and I would like to know just how much more space I will need to purchase to be able to upload this category to PHOTOSHOP.COM.  I am not using the PHOTOSHOP.COM for backup since I already have an online backup service for my hard drive.  I simply want to share my photos on the internet with friends and family.  Alternatively, do you perhaps recommend a service other than PHOTOSHOP.COM for that purpose?  Thank you for your assistance.  

Answer
Hi R. Mark,

You need to go to your folder where the images are stored and find out how large the overall size is. I have to tell you, that if your images are even 10mb each, you have exceeded your capacity. Saving as high quality jpg will help eliminate this issue.

If you are just trying to show your images to people, and don't need them to edit, I would use Flickr or even Facebook.

Thanks

Kevin
