What is the best way of posting pictures without losing quality? I have posted some pics that I thought were sharp, but when the pics are reduced to the 800 x 800 POTN limit, the sharpness and quality suffer.

I'd appreciate any tips.

If you want to attach pics to your post go to Microsoft's site and download their Image Resizer Power Toy. After installing it gives you an option in your right click menu to resize any pic you click on to one of three sizes. Works good and it doesn't get any simpler. While your there get their Raw Image Viewer Power Toy also.

I resize to 800x533 (or whatever making the longest side 800pix), then save for web High Jpeg in Photoshop. It usually gives me images <200kb. I upload to imageshack.us


Too much gear...
take nothing but pictures .... kill nothing but time .... leave nothing but footprints

I resize to about 680 pixels on the longest side (includes borders) and use Photoshop's 'save for web' and upload to my own web server at about 150-200k.
I started off by using the embed image function here, but the <100k limit meant either very small pics or cr*p quality bigger ones. I figured that if I'm paying for a server I may as well use it!

Guys, if you haven't yet,give MS Image Resizer a try. All you have to do is open windows explorer, right click any picture file (you don't have to even open it), and with 2 more clicks you have a resized copy for uploading to the web. It doesn't get any easier or quicker.
