Uploading to Photobucket (Image Size)

[GailGreen23]

Hi- I'm a newbie so forgive me if this question has already been asked and answered before. When I am preparing to upload to Photobucket and click the "save for web" option there is quite a large  number of choices on which format and size and such-- I assume JPEG but is there an appropriate size for photos uploaded to photobucket that we then want to post to the forum.
Hope this makes sense-
Gail

Hi Gail,

I know Tess just put a link about this, but here is what I do. I make a second copy of my original and then go up to Image>Image Size and change it from 300 to 96 or 120 dpi and as sRGB jpg---unless the photo is really small like 2.5 x 3.5 and then I let it stay at 300). I save this photo in a special folder on my hard drive called Photo Shelter so that I don't accidentally delete.
