Camera settings:

Each camera comes with their own terms. You will have to read your manual to decide what term they use for each of these settings. There are a few settings that you need to make on your camera.

Quality - I userepparttar 132280 middle setting. This takes really nice pictures, but does not use up as much disk space.

Picture Resolution - My camera has either High (1760 x 1168 pixels) or Standard (896 x 592 pixels). Userepparttar 132281 Standard setting.

Using a scanner to take pictures - Userepparttar 132282 highest setting for you scanner to scan your pictures. Then edit as you would pictures that you have taken with a camera.

Editing for Website:   Before we begin editing your photos there are a few things that you should know:

Do NOT save your photos in JPEG format until you are DONE editing. JPEG files do not take any changes very well. If you save it as a JPEG, then changerepparttar 132283 size,repparttar 132284 picture quality goes down. Each time you open and change it,repparttar 132285 quality keeps getting worse. Save all of your original files in your photo editing programs format such as .psd for Photoshop.

Save all of your website pictures inrepparttar 132286 size that you will use them on your site. Do NOT changerepparttar 132287 size of them once you get them onto your website. This will cause them to lose their quality. I like my "thumbnail" pictures to be 125 pixels x 125 pixels. The smallerrepparttar 132288 picture,repparttar 132289 quicker it will load.

When you userepparttar 132290 "thumbnail" tool, you are VIEWINGrepparttar 132291 picture smaller, but your file size is still large. This causes your pictures to load just as slow as when you putrepparttar 132292 large picture on that page. This is why you save your picture the size that you want it to appear on your website. If you want a "thumbnail" sized photo, save it that size.
