I do have a quick question.....

I've just recently gone mirrorless, canon R5 & the files are HUGE!

Which class will I learn the correct way to re-size these massive files?

Resize for what purpose?

[KimMoore]

I guess everything.  I imported pictures I took this evening at a charity jig & they were way to big to email to them, or send on fb.

I guess I'm wanting to learn how the correct way to do these things, probably very basic knowledge which I lack.

Well, none of that is any different with your R5 than it was with your previous cameras.  It's ALWAYS been necessary to shrink files for email and Facebook.

How have you done it in the past?

[KimMoore]

Don't judge me, but in the early days I used an action. 

But I've taken a five year break from photography having my third baby & keen to learn how to do it properly now, but not sure where to learn?

Photos for myself I would just post them & they were fine. (by fine I mean uploaded ok)

Last night was the first time I have sent a file to someone with my new R5 & my updated version of photoshop & the file was massive I couldn't send it.

So more to the point, where can I learn how to do this?

Well, start here: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/05/best-practice-for-web-photos.html

I think you think this is more complicated than it really is.

Just resize using Image Size, then sharpen and save.

Thank you!!

When it comes to printing, then it really IS more complicated.
