David Van Camp		From trial & error, what I've discovered is: 720px MAX on either dimension (or BP will resize down & the result will be less sharp than your original.) PPI / DPI .... makes no difference what so ever (72, 300, 10,000,000,000,000 :D. I think attaching an sRGB ICC profile helps, but I'm really not sure (if you use PSE, there is a check-box option to attach an ICC profile... I (now after trial & error) always a)convert the image to sRGB, then b)downsize the image using Bicubic or Bicubic Smoother and then c)use Unsharp Mask to bring back sharpness, and d)then use Save for Web and make sure that the ICC checkbox is checked.) I've read rumours that some people get better results with TIFF format images, but, I've been very happy with JPEG (at max quality) ... I really can't see any diff betw my original & the uploaded image when I follow the above steps. But, you might want to experiment further.... Try not to rip out ALL your hair ... :D dvc To love this comment, log in above July 05, 2008

David Van Camp		I guess the specs must be different for pro sites then. Can't help you in that case. As Carolyn said, ask BP. To love this comment, log in above July 06, 2008
