[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I checked out this link http://members.tripod.com/~B_D_Colen/Photos.htm And yes it is true that the images loaded very slowly. When I prepare images for my web pages, I never let the images be any bigger than 90 dpi. I checked out your photo called juxtaposition. We looked at your source html code and compared it with the actual image size. The original size is 600 X 900 pixels at 150 dpi. In your source you have the picture size at 315 X 473 pixels. <p align="center"><img src="Juxtaposition.jpg" width="315" height="473"></p> What you should do is resize the image to 315 X 473 pixels. Even though you made the image source code say it is 315 X 473, you are still loading that 600 X 900 image. That sucks up a lot of bandwidth! Make the resolution no more than 90 dpi. Actually 72 dpi will work just fine with a good scan. Now if you have problems with sharpness in the posted image, before you save the resized image, use the general sharpen filter ( I prefer this to unsharp masking, as I do not like mackie lines that happen to adjacent areas to over radiused amounts). Also, make sure you scan those black and white images as greyscale! That alone will decrease the file size by 2/3 !
