I just uploaded three images to the gallery. When I resized them so they where no bigger then 200k it makes them to small. The didgiscoped orginal size was 2272x1704 and the none digiscoped size was 1600x1200. I resized them in Photoshop.

How does every body else do it?

On a full sized image under the Image menu and then Image Size. Set the resolution to 72 for monitor display. I normally then opt for measurements of 800 x 600 Pixels.

An alternative is to crop to whatever size and then set image size as above to no more than 800x800 - the maximum Gallery dimensions.

To reduce the actual kb then use the 'save for web' function off the File Menu. I set the Jpeg compression to maximum and tinker with the quality setting. Sometimes 90 is about right and other times it may be 70 or even 56 for a 128 kbps download just so the file size is below 200 kb. Save a copy under a new name and upload that copy.

Hope this helps. I seldom use PS, so there may be a quicker way that other members use.

For 99% of the time I use a photo cataloguing program called ThumbsPlus. Apart from organising all your photos on the hard drive it has some powerful photo manipulation tools. It takes just a few clicks to do just about anything.

I'm a bit surprised it's not more widely used, though it isn't quite so sophisticated as Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro but then it is intended soley for photogrgaphs.

The only thing I use PS for is CA adjustment, which I seldom have a problem with nowadays.
 
Hi Ian, all...

I use Irfanview in much the same way as you use Thumbsplus - it's a two or three click job to resize, resample, set the resolution and whatnot.

And Irfanview's free...
 
Irfanview is a great little program and it's a freebie!

I used it for a few years before swapping to ThumbsPlus. Thanks for the Keith info as by the looks of it the updated version is a good bit more sophisticated that the one I still had on the hard drive. Still not as neat as TP+ but pretty good :t:
