A new member here just trying to get the hang of things. I am having problems with resizing my photos to post to meet the requirements without losing quality or posting to an outside website. I am using CS2. Any suggestions or suggested articles would be a great help. Thanks, Larry

Larry,
Once you're done editing and saving your master file, try the following:
* Image -> Resize (set the longest dimension to anything up to 720 pixels)
* If you used any layers when editing the image, flatten it
* Edit -> Convert to Profile (select sRGB)
* Filters -> Sharpen -> Smart sharpen (start with values of 300/0.3 and adjust as necessary)
* File -> Save for Web (make sure to save as JPG and set the quality slider as high sa you can while keeping the file size under 200kb)
