My grandson Harry made these all on his own,

The picture of the girl in the balloon outfit and the pics of your grandson look fine to me. A good size and good quality... i think you're getting the hang of it Graham!

Yes I thought one or two of you would like the girl in the balloon outfit
It was hell for me trying to fit her into it, the things we do for our art.

Pictures are made in a certain format. Every format has it's pro's and con's. For a lot of pictures the JPG format is used (we call the picture then Example.jpg)
There are a million format that can be used, like TIFF. PNG. JPG and BMP.
In case a bitmap picture is used the picture is called Example.bmp
These extensions are only visible if you have order Windows to show it, the standard setting is that you don't see the extensions.
This forum can only process pictures that use the jpg format and the png format.

So if you have a bitmap (bmp) picture this means you cannot post it? No.
Use irfanview (I have written before about it) to open the picture. Irfanview reads hundreds of formats. When the picture is visible, goto File, choose Save as and then you see at the bottom a square that tells you a format that the picture will have when you save it. Choose at the drop down arrow the format you want (JPG or PNG) and do not alter the settings (unless you know what you are doing but in that case you won't need this tutorial) and press OK and the picture is saved in the new format.
The picture is now converted from a format to another format, like from BMP to JPG

Maybe its better to save in jpg format.Bmp..stands for bitmap are not compatible or advisable.
