Re: (ET) An image of my deck bracket brace
HI,
OK I’ll keep the format old-er school. I thought that I was old school
already as my iMac is 11 years old running a 5 year old version of an OS.
The odd part was that the file had a .jpeg suffix so I thought it would be
OK. Even if it wasn’t, I read that Windows 10 and 11 can open HEIC pics
but admittedly didn’t go into all the details as to the steps to make that
happen. My understanding is that Android devices can also handle HEIC
going back to 2019.
Anyway, Try this new one which I exported from Apple Photos. I’m hoping
that email isn’t converting it back to HEIC. I had the email scale down
the jpeg file from its “actual" 17MB (HEIC was only 4.2MB) to a “Large”
pic of 477KB. If you don’t see it this time, that must be the reason and I
will send again after I massage the HEIC to a smaller size in order to
create a reasonable jpeg which the email will not have to manipulate.
There was also a question about using the factory side chute. On a normal
lawn it would be fine. However, this deck is pretty much a brush cutter
which I use in vineyards and other tall grass and the side chute would
clog as well. I have no baffles installed and want the grass to get out of
the deck as fast, and wherever it can. I found this configuration to work
the best for its intended use.
Question on PostImage. First off, I’m admittedly leery of “free” services
- especially on the web. Yup, I’m one of those guys that believes that
there no free lunch. My question is this. When uploading does the service
automatically dumb the pics down to jpegs or would I still need to take
the steps to export and possibly shrink the files prior to upload? Thanks
for your help as I didn’t see in in their FAQ.
Take care,
Dean
