How do you ladies get your pages uploaded that big yet small enough to upload

my pages are done 864 x 750 when I go and shrink them to meet the 125mb to upload my picture is so small it isnt even worth uploading.

You need to go to image size
and change to DPI to 72. You will notice the pixel size automatically dimishes. Then change the height and width so that the largest size is 430 pixels, then upload. That should do it

Ladybugmom,

I don't have any experience PSP but I would imagine it would be under your edit options as it is in PSCS. let me know if you're still having problems and I'll ask one of the other DTM PSP pros to give us a hand

I've attached 2 items that I'm using as settings that might help you, especially on your next projects. Under IMAGE and RESIZE in PSP 8, Set your width and height to 100% after you set the box next to it to PERCENT. From now on change you image sizes with your percentage. Be sure to check or uncheck the box at the bottom for whether you want it to effect all layers or just the item you're working on. This area concerns only your visual view, screen resolution, on your computer, not your end result for printing, saving or final export.

You'll notice that in the next section has to do with print size. You'll notice that I have mine set quite high. This is the same size as the images I get from my digital camera. Using this size, I know that what I see is what I'll get when the final product is printed...and by the way...they turn out gorgeous. Because you have already made your picture, these sizes may not work for you this time. You can use these settings for your next project if you want to do a good full page print out. Make sure the box next to this is set to inches.

Next is resolution. PSP 8 calls their DPI (dots per inch) PPI as in Pixel per inch (Set this setting: PIXEL/INCH) and, because you're working on a premade project, set your resolution to 100%.

Keep your project to this size for printing, or having Prints made from a retailer.

BE SURE TO USE THE JPG FORMAT FOR SAVING!

PNGs are about 3 times the file size as a JPG. If you've used this size, the saved JPG will be over 2 megs ( too large for good export, so go back to IMAGE, RESIZE, make sure the "all layers" is clicked, and resize the entire project at 50%. Use the FILE/EXPORT/JPEG OPTIMISED route for saving. Make sure the file is set at 1 for compression. It's the least amount PSP will allow, and I'm sure you want the best clarity possible. The file will still be large, About 11X8 print out size, but will save at between 500-800 KB. Small enough to export, but large visually.


I a 17 inch monitor, and have the monitor settings at 1152X864. After adjusting the monitor dials to suit my needs,I noticed that the tools and wording are alot smaller, but I have a lot more visual workspace. The techies call it Real estate...hehehe. My hubby's been a computer programmer for about 30 years now.

In case you don't know how to change monitor settings, here's the path I use: go to your desk top/ right click/ go to PROPERTIES/SETTINGS tab/SCREEN RESOLUTION and set to what works best for you.

If you have any further questions you can contact me at cloey@cox.net in California.

Niki (Cloey) PS Let me know if you got the attachments...I can send them to your email address if you give it to me at the above address.

PS

I'm really new to this site. I'm not sure what all the sizing rules are, yet. I noticed on your question you said 125 mg (megabytes) for uploading. I noticed it said 125 KB (kilobytes) for uploading when I was poking around the site. If you had used my original settings, then reduced it by 50%, then reduced that another 50% it is a nice size, and only 58kb. I really hope I'm not confusing anyone. I'll just keep poking around.

I use a program called "Irfanview" ,it's a nifty little compression program that still allows you to retain the picture quality for displaying on the web.There are lots of diffrent options for different files.
I open my image in Irfanview then resize to 500x500 for a 12x12.
If you do a search you should be able to find a freebie on the net.
Hope this helps ,
Niki Wanted to say your not confusing ,always feel free to ask and welcome to scrapbook-bytes
