Testing 123..

Testing out the "Save as" method advice given to Thomas. This is 720 pixels at quality level of 7..

vs-altering size of image-this went down to under 550 pixels.
which suits you better?

Leanne, I say bigger is better. I prefer the first though it has more JPEG compression. On my screen there aren't too many noticable artifacts, mostly because your file size is big enough. One thought though is that some additional sharpening may be in order in addition to using "Bicubic Sharper" to down-rez.

Thanks for replying John!

The first one looks better on my screen, too.

Thanks Lance for your input.

In this case, the bigger version looks better. It varies from image to image.

Another possible option is to host your pictures somewhere that allows a bigger file size, and then still direct link them here.

The file size restriction is just for files hosted on the photoportfolios site, unless there has been a change in policy that I am not aware of.
