I use PS Elements 2.0. Bring up the image that you want to resize. Click on "File...Save For Web". It will display 2 of the same image side by side. On the right are your options. In the box that says "New Size" change the width or height to 720 pixels (NPN allows 720 pixels on the longest side, so select either the width or height to change). Make sure the "constrain proportions" box is checked. Click on apply. Your 2 images are still displayed...note the jpeg size below the image on the right. Now go to where it says "quality" in the upper right and adjust the number until the image on the right is just under 200 mb. (the limit allowed by NPN). Click OK, and it will ask you to specify where to save your downsized image. I save mine in a separate file and access it when I post to NPN. Hope that helps! :wavey:
