Im sorry to be such a newb!!!:bonk: :bonk:

Sorry forgot to mention im using CS3...
 
First you need to resize the images to 800pixels along the longest side (if you are using Photoshop, which it sounds like you are, then you go click on Image > Image Size) Then click on the "save for web and devices" button. The best option is to save as "JPEG High" (which you can find on the presets list) this should make your images small enough to upload to the gallery :)

Spot on - but i tend to use the slider over jpg qual to get as close to 160kb as possible - this is your limit for the gallery Fraggle101 :thumbs:

Glad you got yourself sorted with the usual assistance of some experienced (?) fellow TP members ... :thumbs:

As for your gallery ... :suspect: ... the only shot that made me smile was your Brother-in-law ... ;) ... and that is simply because he looks a real character rather than because it is one of your pics ... :D

This one and the rest are a pretty good start to your TP career Fraggle ... :clap:









:p
 
Some very nice stuff in your gallery :) Like the waterfall, where is it? Looks like a great spot for photography :) Keep up the good work

If you click on the triangle thingy on the settings panel there is a file size option. So you can just type in the maximum size you want (or press return as it remembers from last time) and it will set the quality to the best possible under that limit.
