What is the recommended size of a photo to be posted here in the forums? I know max image size is 100kb, but what is that in inches? I don't claim to the the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I can usually figure this kind of stuff out.

Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to post a picture that's too small, and I really don't want to post a picture where you need to scroll to see the entire thing.

Thank you in advance,

John

400 X 600 works for me

Would it not depend on the pic format?

i.e. JPG, GIF, BMP

BMP's tend to be huge files. Change them to a JPG and they get quite small.

I think they specify a size limit in the post instructions. I use Adobe Photoshop and use the "Save for web" feature and it automatically resizes the file and saves it as a JPEG without losing too much quality.

Save yourself the hassle ...

.. and just use Microsoft's Image Resizer. This PowerToy enables you to resize one or many image files with a right-click.

What Slimboli said..

Somebody else turned me on to that. Makes life super simple.

I just downloaded the MS image resizer. Thank you for guiding me in the right direction.

Inches are not the only factor in files size. You have to check the resolution. I make all files for internet 72dpi which is your screen resolution. The format of the file will also effect it's size.
