I can't upload a full-resolution D7100 picture; DPReview please fix!

NikonMan09

I tried to upload a full-resolution, JPEG Normal D7100 picture (between 6 and 7 MB) to my gallery and couldn't.  Even though I was below the 20 MB limit, I suppose I exceeded some other pixel quantity standard.Since 24MP cameras are so common, it makes no sense to me that DPReview is so stingy to not allow a full-resolution D7100 picture to be uploaded, even though it is not the maximum MP such a picture could be.  As far as I know, uploading to the DPReview gallery is the easiest way our able moderator Mako can access a picture to investigate technical questions.I know I perhaps am not in the right forum to make this complaint, but I feel other fellow Nikonians with 24MP or more cameras should be aware of this issue.  I don't want to spend processing time downsizing my pictures.

You have to crop or resize so that lenght x width is less than 20,000,000 (20.00MP)For example 5475x3650 (19,983,750=19.98 MP) is the highest possible resolution (to upload) with a 3:2 aspect ratio.Since 24MP cameras are so common, it makes no sense to me that DPReview is so stingy to not allow a full-resolution D7100 picture to be uploaded, even though it is not the maximum MP such a picture could be. As far as I know, uploading to the DPReview gallery is the easiest way our able moderator Mako can access a picture to investigate technical questions.If you want all the EXIF data intact...use ViewNX2 to crop the image below 20.00mp and then upload.I know I perhaps am not in the right forum to make this complaint, but I feel other fellow Nikonians with 24MP or more cameras should be aware of this issue. I don't want to spend processing time downsizing my pictures.I think they are working on it but the solution (not sure) is harder to implement than we think.
