Resizing Images

4/6/2014

Have you ever received an email message with a huge photo attached that was so big that you had to scroll back and forth to see it? Have you waited and waited for your email messages to download because of a huge photo file that was attached to one of the messages? Have you tried to view a web page that takes forever to load some of the images?  It is likely in all of these cases that the images were not resized to a smaller size before adding to the email message or the web page.

I have recorded three short 6-7 minute videos on resizing photos. These are the same presentations that I did at the March club meeting in a condensed form. I show how to resize photos for email or the web using Photoshop Elements, Lightroom 4 and Microsoft Paint for those who don't have either of the previous two applications. You can find the videos on the Resources page.

The short version of the story is to resize your images for email or for the club monthly photo contests to no bigger than 800 pixels wide at 72 DPI
. Usually for email 500-600 Px in the longest dimension will work fine. If you are not sure, send an email message to yourself with the photo and see what it looks like in your email.
