sildilOK, I have several nice digital photos that I have played around with and run through various programmes. They look very nice (even though I do say so myself) when mounted and framed, and I now want to see if I can sell them on Ebay.
I've got them saved ready for printing and have a good source of mounts (other half as he is MUCH better at cutting the damn things with a scalpel rather than me fiddling for hours with my mount cutter) and a decent source of cheap-ish but good looking frames (if people paid extra).
What I can't work out though is how to save small, low res versions of the pictures to post on Ebay. I want something that looks good and gives a decent representation of the pics, but that can't be printed off at a reasonable size, otherwise it defeats the purpose of trying to sell them.
Do I save the pic at a BIG size, but at say 100dpi, or do I save it at a teeny size at normal (300) dpi or what? I've tried experimenting but it doesn't seem to stop the ability to print off at a reasonably large size.
What I need is for someone to say, 'make it no bigger than xyz and save it at zxy dpi'
Any advice?
