Hi there I just stopped over to check out the crazy girls here!!! I heard I could find llamas and donkeys and tata's and even get served soda... whew hooo ;)

I am a 35 yr old mom to a 2 yr old. I work full time as a computer tech but I am on a little break right now and being a mommy and playing with desiging and scrapping and some more interesting things! I guess most would consider me a bit of a wild child and it will show in my work :)

So now I have a question... I am a PSP user but have CS2... my issue is the gallery here only allows for 125 in size and I can NEVER get my LO's to look good at that size... can anyone guide me to a tut on how to resize this small, my guess is I just do not know the correct way ;)

TY so much,

Metalmama
 
Hi Metalmama! Welcome to SSD, looking forward to seeing more of you around here and hope you have a blast. Now for your layouts...

I'd resize your layouts to 500x500 and then "Save for Web" as a .jpg around 70-75 quality in Photoshop. I'm not sure how I'd go about it in PSP, but you can do it that way in CS2 for sure :)

Also be sure to take a peek at our forum and gallery guidelines stickied at the top of these forums for all the info you'll need to upload to our gallery.

TTYS!
Robin :)
 
Thank you for the welcome ladies and i will read the rules ... sorry I hope I have not done anything wrong already :( I am a bit of a rebel.... :p

Paula I hope whatever you heard about me was not too bad ??? :eek:


Robin that is how I resized for your gallery, I thought they looked kinda bad but maybe not as bad as I think ;) I read something about using the Bicubic setting but that looked horrid...lol.. won't be doing that ;)

Thanks again girls I appreciate the welcome!
 
Welcome to the nut house!! Great to have you here.:D

Robin usually serves the "soda" late at night!
 
Heya chicklet...glad you're on board with us here. As far as your question, I use PSPXI and I always keep my LOs under 500 x 500 and I use 'smart size' (Resize sampling) and my resolution is set at 300 dpi. Oh and lastly, I make sure to unsharpen mask (under Adjust/Sharpness) ...settings 1, 30, 5. That usually does the trick. I often check to make sure the kb are under the guideliness as well, or whatevva they're called.

Any Q's, just ask away..you have me on Hello (Sweet12B) ;)
 
I resize my layouts at 72 dpi and 500x500 pixels.
Then, I do a "save for web" and make sure I say under 150kb.
HTH!!

Welcome.
 
Welcome! Yep, if you're looking for donkeys, llamas, tatas and even goats...you've come to the right place!
