There has been several suggestions above on how to get the right size of fabric pictures for uploading into the library on EQ. You can read mine and the others above and decide how you want to do it but you will need to crop and make your file smaller or you will run out of memory far too soon. That is what happened to me. I couldn't add any more because it kept telling me it did not have any more memory room. I didn't know I had to change the size.
I'm no tech whiz so I don't know if the resolution being smaller makes your picture the right size without having to crop. Maybe someone else knows the answer to that. I only know what I do on my scanner. I scan then I open that picture with Irfanview and crop and change the size if I need to.

I have even scanned in a little scrap of fabric that was probably 3"x3" so I had that fabric in my library to use. I use to always make sure the whole area was covered in fabric but I find it works just as well with smaller ones. I had a little piece that I can't get anymore but I put it in my library and now I can at least see it when I play with designs! Such fun!

I tried scanning from photos when I posted Kaleidoscope pictures but my pictures I post look fuzzy when scanned from a photo and the color is not as good as scanning the actual fabric. Maybe I am not that good a photographer!
