Wow resizing correctly for my website has made a huge improvement to the photos! I didn't realise they looked so bad! Still changing them over so can't wait for the site to run faster.

since resizing smaller to 1050px they now look shit on Facebook though. They are OK on the wall but when you click on one its pixelated.

I doubt it.  It'll probably mess with your logo size and position.

I was afraid you would say that. I hope my brain engages at some point today. Ive set up the action once fairly easily but today its a struggle. Thanks for your help, there is a beer coming your way.

Your example for photosize in the actions for web, is that based on a square photo? I am trying to work out overall image size of my 1050x722px image which includes 70px border.  Im getting 910px based on 1050px but because its a landscape image, do I work out the height too or just longest side?

OK I kept reading and its longest size right. Because I have an action already set up, can I just reset the image size and leave everything else as is?

If you make your web images 1050px, instead of your outrageous 2188, your website will run faster.

So even though my images are showing as 2188 in photoshop, they are downsizing to 1050px on my website automatically for viewing?

Great!!!  That will make your website load a LOT faster.

So they are the right size for the web or do I need to make them four times smaller? Im a bit slow at the best of times :-)

Yeah, I'd say so too.

Take a screenshot or two of the images on your website, paste the screenshot into PS, then measure their size.  I reckon they're only around 1000px.  Which means your files are four times bigger than they need to be.

Hi Damien, my screenshot gave me  1050 x 720px

I have had a feeling my photos are slowing down my website

Gosh, are you sure about those dimensions? That's VERY big for a web-sized image.

Hmmm pretty sure. Is there a typical size for landscape photos for web?

I hear you but if someone wants to steel an image, they will, so I want to use my watermark as advertising. I think watermarks are ugly on an image and distract but I guess I should look at making mine more attractive however in saying that I will never put it anywhere other than a corner of a photo so it can still be cropped off.

Hi, I have been using your save for web actions for awhile (thank you) and now I want to make my border higher at the bottom to place my watermark center of bottom border and I am not sure how to do that.

I am also having trouble working out my total image size. I opened up a resized photo and edited the border to how I want it and the pixels are 2188 x 1599 including border. Most of my images are in landscape.

Many thanks

Thank you, that half worked. The curser circle is looking normal now but anything I am doing is not using all of the inside of the curser or is that normal?

Is this just something that has changed with updates or does it sound abnormal?

I hadn't tried that, forgot I had a mouse! It looks and does the same with the mouse :-(

I was planning on adding 2GB more soon but haven't had any issues yet.

Havent noticed anything strange elsewhere. Just Photoshop when cloning, dodging or burning or spot healing, painting etc

Sorry, brain fart. 226GB free of 446GB. 

Hi, I have been having a problem with my tablet when editing. Awhile ago, the edges of the circle curser became ragged like the attached and it only does editing in a very small area in the middle of the cursor. 

I have a PC laptop running Windows 7 and Photoshop Cc. It is over 2 years old, and has 6GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 227GB free out of 218GB. The last time I shut down was just before posting this thread. I run a cleanup program about once a week.

i have the latest tablet software.

i have it on 0 hardness and pen pressure doesn't solve it. Is this normal? I'm sure I used to be able to use all area inside the curser circle  

thank you
