New "family" pics!

It says my files are too large. I tried again. How much smaller can I make them? They are only 3 inches across. :grumpy:
 
When you resize, try selecting pixels instead of inches as your units, and set your width to 640. Usually works for me.

Also check the dpi or Dots Per Inch, if it's out of a digicam or a scanner you're probably at 300 dpi or higher. You want 72 dpi for use on the web and a size of less than 800 X 600. Larger than that will have some people scrolling to see your pics, a minor PIA.
 
i use a photo hosting site... some guys have emailed their pics to a buddy to resize and post too.. :)
 
There are two kinds of size for a picture -- the size of the pic and the size of the file. I suspect it's the file that's oversize -- adjust compression so it comes out less than 50k. Anything more is a waste when it's displayed on a monitor -- it'll look just as good and save bandwidth and storage.

By the way, "dots per inch" is an instruction for the printer; it has no effect unless you print the picture.
 
Ashes, I still have that picture of your "Family". Do you want me to post it? ;) :)
