Why are my pictures too big?

Usually, when composing or editing digital images on your computer, you set the resolution to 300 dpi (dots per inch), which is a quasi-standard for printing.

But when you compose/edit for the Web, you should use 72-75 dpi, which is the resolution of a normal computer monitor.

If you try to post an image that was prepared for printing, it appears HUGE on the computer screen.

Also, if your image editing software permits, save the image as a jpeg and use lots of compression (easy to do with Photoshop). This creates a smaller file.
