Todos Santos sunsets
One of the positive side effects of the lousy weather we had last winter - unbelievable sunsets.

Thanks!
Just Adobe photoshop elements, set resolution to 72 (most that can be seen on a screen anyway) , probably medium to low setting on saving as JPEG.
They are from a 7MP camera, at superfine seting, so the originals are HUGE.

Yeah But
They all come out this big. I need specific instructions for Photoshop. I just shrink them in "Imaging". Is there a better way?

In photoshop elements (which is just dumbed down photoshop)
Image/ resize/image size ... set to 72dpi. File/save for web/... set quality to a level that keeps just under 50kb.
Hope this helps!

JR: one simple, brute force way is to shrink them in MS paint.
Do a select all, reduce the size by dragging the lower right corner in, cut the non-shrunken picture, new file, paste, and save.
Not elogant, but works.
But, anyway, you need to find a way to make your pictures the size of a full screen. They will be so much more impressive!, those last ones
especially! Good stuff!

Thanks you guys
JZ, they are full screen size originally. I make copies and then shrink the copies for posting. They are awesome on my screen if I do say so
myself.

Are you sure they are full screen size only, or is the program you are viewing them in shrinking them to fit.

Most of them come from the camera at
1280 something or other and when I view them on here either as a slide show or just opening the files, they fill the moniter.
Then I open them in Photoshop and go to picture size in image. Then I reduce size to 300 as that comes out under and closest to the 50 kb
requirement.
I'm going to try and follow these directions one more time.

Also keep in mind there is no correlation constant between file size and image size. If your picture is simple, that is poor in texture, few lines
and abrupt edges - then the file will be smaller in JPEG (which is what you are creating for the internet). An example would be an image that is solid
black. If the image is rich in texture, has lots of minute color changes and line edges you will create a large file. Most of my JPEG files will
shrink to a 6" by 4" image (at 72ppi) and be less than 50KB. However, I had several images I had to shrink down to 3" by 2" to make it under the 50KB
size limit.
So you just gotta try different images sizes and JPEG quality and see the file size that gets created.
