Reducing Photos with Adobe Photoshop
Photos that are more than 300 kb take a long time to load so even if we have a new allocation of 10 Gigabytes in our new "The LCCian Shutterbug" site, reducing photos is still a good idea unless you're posting photos that you intend others to download and have printed. A few of those big photos, deliberately posted are all right but don't upload 10 or 20 photos as they are in your camera.
(I am referring members to http://lccianphotos.ning.com, The LCCian Shutterbug network because beginning today, regardless of file size, only very select photos will be approved for posting here in LCCians of the World.)
There are many more expert in photoshop than I am but apparently there are many who know even less. Photos that don't even fill the slideshow screen are frustrating to look at, especially when they're of an event like the first LCCian get-together in the U.S. The 23 kb of a photo that's 3 inches in width (too small) can be the same 23 kb of a photo that's 10 inches in width if you know how.
It is not enough to "Save for Web." When you're taking photos that are more than 2 MB in size. Photoshop says the size is out of range for saving for web. Here's how I reduce pictures using Adobe Photoshop.
1. In Adobe Photoshop, open the photo you want to work on.
2. In the scroll down menu of the "Image" tab, select "Image Size"
3. The "Image Size" editing box will give you options for Pixel Dimensions, Document Size, and Resolution.
4. The higher the pixel resolution per square inch, the better your photo quality. 72 pixels/sq. inch is the lowest that I go.In this example, I've selected 180 pixels/sq. inch. I've also chosen a pixel width of 1000. A width of 640 pixels is actually enough for display on a website. When you've entered the dimensions that you prefer, click on OK.
5. Back in the main screen of Photoshop, go to "File" and select "Save for Web and Devices."
6. In the new screen that appears, you'll see something like what's shown below. You have options as to the JPEG quality (low, medium, high, very high, and maximum). Increasing the JPEG quality will increase the numbers for "Quality" at the right. The higher the quality, the bigger the file size and the better the picture's resolution. For the web, JPEG Medium is all right. In this example, I've selected High.
7. After you've entered your preferred JPEG quality, look at the lower left corner to find out how big the photo file size is and how long it will take to load with slow internet speed. Notice how this 295 kb photo will take more than 1.5 minutes for many to download.
8. If the file size is all right, click on Save at the upper right corner. If you want a smaller file size, select a lower JPEG quality.
