Can't figure out how to make decent looking atachments. Can Any one help? This is 460 pixels on the long side quality 5, from DPP. That comes to 146.6 KB and it looks small and grainy. How does everyone put such great looking posts on this site? It takes forever by trial and error to even find a size that is accepted and then it looks less than great.

You need to use PhotoShop or equivalent. Once you have your image processed, re-size to the size required and sharpen. Them use Save For Web and it will show what file size you have for a given quality. Lower the quality until you have the file size you want.

The latest version of picassa also has a option to save for email which lets you shrink things without trashing the quality.

ACDSee in Resize will estimate new file size. Photoshop Elements (after resizing) in Save As has a slider and estimates the file size...

The best advice is "don't post them on this site".

Setup an account on a free hosting site like flickr so you won't be crippled by this sites limits on file size.
