If you resize to 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, or 1280 x 1024 you shouldn't get
too many complaints from most viewers.

As a rule of thumb limiting the long dimension of any image to 1024
should work and then saved with enough compression to bring the file
size to around 300Kb or less.

Here is a shot of a P-51D resized to 1280 x 868 and 293Kb:



Savageduck: I've seen your posts on this & other news groups. I would
say they rank right up there with the best of them.

To the original poster: I use Irfanview to resize for news groups. I
have taken to using 1280 x 853, with a quality of 80%. Pics come out
approximately 100kb - 200kb. Going lower in percentage would probably
not affect the quality here noticeably, but would yield a smaller
picture still.

Lately I've been processing images with Capture One with no quality
reduction & resized to 1280 x 853. I then have to resize to the same
size but a reduction in quality of %80. These pictures come out 200kb -
300kb, a little larger than I like. I may consider downgrading further.

I welcome change. But I prefer bills.
