Hi Damien,

Looking back through this thread makes me laugh... Anyway, I upgraded to a more professional webpage and I'm trying to get it under way... I just need some preparing images for upload ... 

Here is a tutorial from the website company 

https://help.pro.photo/wordpress/images-media-library/prepare-images-for-upload/

Here is what I am assuming from this:

1. Open photo in PS

2. Use the crop tool, W x H x Resolution, set width to 2000 px

3. Then what should I set my height? 

4. File, save - as .. then what?

 

Thanks Damien.

Nothing. Leave both the Height field, and the resolution field, blank.

As a Jpeg.

This is correct, but if you're following their advice and aiming for a 400KB file, you need to lower the quality value.

You can see the estimated size just below the bottom left corner of the photo - in this screenshot it's presently 594.7KB.

You use the Quality slider in the top right corner to lower that size.

That is a VERY good question.  Yes, the instructions seem to infer that it's 2000 wide for all photos, regardless of orientation.  But do you have a way of confirming that?  Do they have a help line or something?
