I want to keep the quality but also be able to upload to the galery, but photoshop using the save for the web button makes the picture quality very poor.

There must be an easy way, any instructions please.

Thanks Rowlando

When you do a save for web, you should be getting a bunch of control you can use to change the picture quality. A quality setting of 75-80% is usually more then enough for JPG. Don't go below 65 though as that will degrade it too much.

I only use "save for web" if I'm creating an avatar or some other piece that requires a gif format. Instead, I'll resize within my main image file and save it out as a "file name.jpg", with a compression setting of 8, then decline to save the changes to the main image.

"Save for web" just does too much havoc for my tastes.

The Gimp is very good for this (you can see the size that youre pic will be when saved) and the gimp is free.

Check out this tutorial. It's for thumbnails, but the principal is the same for regular images too. Just work with a template that is the size of the final image that you want.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
