This image is one of those used in the gallery and the image full size details appear in the info box.
This may help you interpret the info you see when you open a photograph from a camera or on a scanned image in your photo-paint software and will give you a target size for web work. When optimised this image, as used on the site, has a working size of 41k, and downloads quickly.
Considerably smaller than indicated here - the optimisation is a process Hooklinks will employ to get a picture you send on to the site.
Open your picture as taken from the camera and you will likely see and image with document a size of perhaps 58cm by 70cm by 72dpi and of perhaps 1.5 to 2 megabytes, unuseable on the web without adjustment.
Aim to get a picture of the dimensions closer to those shown here above by setting the the dimensions as shown in the picture below.
Not that by 'resampling' the image, the pixel dimensions have been changed to 350 pixels by 350 pixels and the file has changed to 12.35cm by 12.35cm and 359k from 732k in file size.
Its very simple once you can grasp the principals and experimenting with you software will result in you getting pictures you can easily email to friends or to Hooklinks for us to use in the gallery or the site!
