This shot always elicits a feeling of peace when I look at it. It was a lovely peaceful day and the geese thought so too!

Hello everyone

There are some fantastic shots this month.

I would like to post an entry but have a query on size and dimensions. When I try and post the image only a small section appears but with a horizontal and vertical scroll bar. Obviously the image is to big. I use photoshop elements 7 and tried to save the file at reduced quality and hence size but still no good.I would like other users to see the whole image with only a minimum of scrolling.

Can any onne help and tell me the best dimensions to use and help on the % size in photoshop elements.

Thank you
Watermelonshark

Hi Watermelonshark

i resized my image to 780 x 1024 and reduced the quality to 96% that seemed to work and still kept it at a good size, alternatively you can post a small version and include a link to the original sized picture in order to let people get the full effect of your picture,

hope this helps
