I've always tried to keep pictures no larger than 800 pixels across for my
website and save them at
about 70% or 7/10 picture quality in JPEG.  This way it keeps the file size
lower which is always a
problem to people like me who don't have Broad Band Tinter Net.  I always
try to keep the file size
less than 100K.

Best wishes,


Ian

Subject: [BBC-Micro] Picture and thumbnail sizes

I've now got a digital camera and I took some pictures at the
Wakefield Show. I'm planning on uploading them, along with a huge
backlog of other photographs that I'm gradually scanning in. It
occured to me to wonder what the best size would be to upload them
as, and what size thumbnails to use. As a lot of the pictures are
BBC related, what are the opinions of the denziens of this list?
 
My camera takes pictures at 2100x1400, and my paper photos end up
scanned at 3000x2000ish.
