and why?

the ones smaller than 600x600 make me squint. i dunno why. it's not like there is that much difference.
 
I always upload at 600 x 600 because that's what everyone recommended when I first started uploading here. LOL :D
 
600x600. I squint at smaller ones too! I'm practically blonde folks...bigger is better! SIZE MATTERS. :p
 
600x600 because that's what I've done for a long time, lol. I know when I first started putting in galleries (years ago) the max size was 500x500 so that's what I did, but that has since changed.
 
Typically 600x600 unless it's still too large of a file to upload to most galleries and then I do 550x550.

thats what I do... 600 but instead of reducing quality sometimes I'll drop to 550. It's very seldom I have to tho. I started using the save for web devices and that's helped so I don't have to.

get some glasses Lizzy you'll be fine. :D
 
600x600 - but one of my teams mandates 700x700 for their store gallery which allows up to 200kb... as I am Lazy and use an action to resize for web, it took me Forevah to figure out how to do it... and still, i'm not all that sure i've got it yet...

Almost always 600x600, but if the quality is ultra crappy at 150kb (usually on highly saturated pages), I will go to 550x550 or even 500x500 to get a better quality image.
 
When I try to upload 600x600 here, it always tells me it's too big, so here, 570x570. 600x600 everywhere else.
 
I do 500x500 if I can't get the quality to stay up at 600x600. I'd rather have it a bit smaller than have it blurry. My files are generally huge because I have bazillions of layers, so I have to reduce the size quite often LOL
 
550x550 - the pattern papers that I adore cause the file size to skyrocket @ 600x600. The quality was crap at that size. So I dropped down the pixel size and the quality went up. :)
 
I used to upload 500x500 until someone here taught us how to do it 600x600 without it going over the file limit. Now I do 600x600.
 
I go with 540x540, which is totally random, but it's 15% of 3600. My resize action resizes to 15%. I prefer it because I can keep the quality really high when I save for web, much higher than with my 600x600.
 
LOL, I do 500x500 because that's what I thought we had to do, still from years ago. Maybe I should change mine to 600x600!!
 
I do 500x500 since that's what the size limit used to be most places. I do 600x600 for dares b/c that's the size req for the blog there.

I was going to say the same thing. 500x500 used to be the max at most places and some places were even lower than that. I remember having to save two copies of my dare layouts - one for the blog and one for the galleries.

I try to always save at 600x600 but like Stephanie said, when you use a lot of papers (like I tend to do :D), it can be hard to get the quality at the level I would like.

I'm curious, what percentage quality do most of you end up with when you do save for web? Mine is pretty much always under 75% and usually closer to 50%. :thumbdown:
