twcole Posted December 10, 2006 Share #1 Posted December 10, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was a weekly poster on the old site ("fastskis") and am now starting to post again. My new post name is" twcole". I have just posted under Architecture.....Arrass, France picture. Can someone please give a quick tutorial on how to resize for largest size and quality and still meet the max requirerments. Had this down pat on the old site! Am using ACD for Mac and also Photoshop CS. Thanks......Thomas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted December 10, 2006 Share #2 Posted December 10, 2006 Hi! The max dimensions that you can post are 940 pixels x 940 pixels, but the file size needs to be less than 240kb (around 230kb in reality, to allow for uploading overhead) However, many people have screens that are not capable of showing a 940 wide/high image without scrolling, so 800 max is a sensible compromise. In CS, use "Save for web" in order to adjust the jpg quality by 1% increments, down until you get to 230kb. (Highlighted in red here. I always do the resizing before doing "Save for Web", btw) [ATTACH]17899[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevme Posted December 10, 2006 Share #3 Posted December 10, 2006 Andy, thanks for the quick tutorial. I had bad luck with my first try at posting an image. I will use your approach (once I get the nerve to post a photo again). Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted December 10, 2006 Share #4 Posted December 10, 2006 Also... If Photoshop behaves in the same way as PS Elements, you can click the little circular button with the right-pointing arrow in it, just above and to the right of the percentage field Andy highlighted; this allows you to specify the file size you want (240k) and it then works out the maximum percentage you can have. Hope that makes sense, JR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwolf Posted December 10, 2006 Share #5 Posted December 10, 2006 Thomas, I like to sharpen, if necessary, at final output size. So I resize first using Image > Image Size (PS CS2), as shown in the attached screenshot. Set interpolation mode to Bicubic Sharper when reducing image size. Then I sharpen if needed and Save for Web. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
