How to send larger res images

[leon]

Hi Guys, I have seen, and also asked on many occasions if I could send a larger resolution image of some of my pics, but then always have to answer, How do you do that.

Is there an easy way to do this, and could someone please explain it to me.

Thank You

Leon

Leon, when you go to save an image for posting, and want it BIG, make the image the size you want it eg: 1200 x 900, and save it in 'Save for web', not 'Save as'.

When you are in the 'Save for web' window, there is a slider to bring the kb size down to meet posting requirements.

Example here of a large 1500 x 1125 size but within posting limits:

Ok Ken, Yes I know haw to do that but that really isn't a full resolution images is it.

I'm thinking along the lines of some of the people here that send 1.5 -2.0 MB and larger files, which are usually opened in a sort of link, as one must click on the link to open it.

http://imageshack.us is the one I use often for large images.

Either that or use your google email to greate a googlepage where you get 100mb free webspace (like the one in my sig) then you can upload and link to your upload pic. For example

Hi Leon, in photoshop cs2, change the image to 8bit, resize it to eg: 1024 x 768, then save it in .jpg. it will then ask you the quality size, change this to under 200k then save the file

Ah, thank you Eric, that dosn't sound to difficult for me.
