Sorry - The message to Andy was meant for Andy, only. I haven't been doing
so well on the computer the last day or two. I'm going to curl up on the
couch with a book - I don't make quite as many mistakes that way {:->

Good Morning, Andy,
I do use PhotoShop when sizing photographs. I've found that many times if
I
upsize an image I lose sharpness, also.
I'll practice what Rich and Emily suggest and see if I can do any better.
There are several classes at the local college I want to take and
Photoshop
or digital photography will be among them.
Right now I'm taking a scriptwriting class from UC Berkeley. Two and a
half
more credits and I'll finally complete the B of A I've been working on for
several decades {:->
Take care and thank you for your help and patience.
Marilyn

Marilyn,
Are you using Photoshop? One thing (I think) to be aware of is that if
you
resize a large image into a smaller one often there is loss of sharpness.
This
is usually adjusted either with "sharpen" (in filters in PS) or with
"unsharp
masking". I am sure there are others here who know more about this
sharpening
step who can help clarify the procedure.
The steps I take to prepare my photographs for the web are pretty much
the
same
ones that Rich Mason described.
Andy
Would one of you be interested in sending a tutorial of sorts to
Photoforum about sizing images?
