Hey all I feel quite silly asking this but I need to resize a jpeg for a website and it must be less than 0.5mb (512kb). My problem is when I go to resize it its all in resolution,pixels,height,width etc and its driving me insane. Ive looked all over for guides etc.
So basically how do I know what resolution,pixels etc to use to make it 0.5mb or a little smaller
Thanks everyone in advance, Ive got 1 hair left on my head

Save it as 600 pixels on the longest edge (ppi doesnt matter) Save the jpg at quality 8 or so and it will be suitable for web use.
 
I should have added, what software are you using?
 
In Lr3 export panel, set 600 pixels in both boxes. This will export your image a max of exeither 600px wide or high. Quality 8-10 should provide a fairly small image of about 100kb.

No worries and if you need more let me know. Read up on resolution. Will make a difference to the way you work with images.

Or use SAVE FOR WEB

That will reduce the filesize.

Does Lr have a save for web command? Thought that was Photoshop?
