Good Evening All
Here is a small workflow for resizing images so that you can post them on the forum.
Plus they will load fast, look good and fit so that you do not have to scroll back and forth to see them.
A small bit of background. Most users are running a screen resolution of 1024x768 pixels. The next most common screen resolution is 800x600 pixels. And in third place we have 1280x1024 pixels.
So it is good to resize your images so that fit on 1024x768 screens and if you are kindhearted so they fit on 800x600 screens.
Now the workflow.
Get your image into your computer and using your favourite "imaging" package do what ever changes you want to do to the image. eg,- adjust colour levels, sharpen, crop, etc.
Then resize the image to either 800 or 600 pixels wide. And maintain the Aspect Ratio - which means that the vertical dimension will be automatically adjusted so that everything is in proportion.
Save your image as a jpg with approximately 30% compression. Note we are up at the large file good quality end of the scale.
Also please keep your file size under 200kb.
Load it to the forum.
So this is what it looks like:
