IMAGE SIZE

Size

Can be a controversial issue amongst Photoshop users.  Basically you want to record your images in the camera at the finest and highest possible quality.  However, this creates a BIG file.  You save this as an original and then duplicate it to work on.  But when you are posting this to a BLOG things can get slow if you are dealing with huge files and in anycase the screen (of your computer monitor) is only about 750 x 1000 pixels.

So when posting to a Blog or screen, do the following, go to:

-Image
-Image size
-make sure all the boxes are ticked (scale styles, constrain proportions, resample image) and then
-the highest number (width or height) to1,000 and change
-Resolution (pixels/inch) to 72

Then save this image marked for screen, so go to:
-File
-save as
-add the word screen to the name so
'2440' becomes
'2440 screen'
(Then you know before you even open the file that it is already adjusted for the screen.)

After you have done this it is inadvisable to make further adjustments to the image because it is now poor quality.  You may need to go back to the original or duplicate if you want to change it.
