Cut-Throat Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 Have you ever noticed that some people's pictures take forever to download, if you are using a dial- up? Also have you seen pictures that are so huge that you are forced to scroll all around to see them. A couple tips 1.) Use JPEG images not Bitmap 2.) Size your Picture to 640 x 480 pixels or smaller. If you don't know how to do this, just ask and some kind soul will help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artto Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 How do you change it after its already posted? The first pictures I uploaded on my architectural thread showed up much larger than they looked in PhotoShop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtice Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Web images will display at a specified size (on a standard web page--probably this bb software as well) when the intended dimensions are specified in the html image tag. Although they may be reduced in size, excess data is still downloaded--even though it does not result in higher resolution. Could be that in some instances (certain file types) the size is defined during the upload and he image displays correctly even if it started out too large. At the100% setting Photoshop displays at the image's actual pixel resolution. If it looked smaller in PS it's almost certainly because the display percentage in PS was set to something less than 100%. When preping images for screen or web, always change the resolution to 72ppi without downsampling in the first step. Set image to display at 100%. Then downsample to the actual size (pixel dimensions) at which you want the image to display. In PS use the "Save for Web" command under the file menu and it will throw away more overhead data and make a smaller file per any given number of pixels. Hope this makes sense? J.
