I tend to process my images with intent to post to the www but maintain the original file should I decide to use them otherwise.I make my files small for 2 reasons....1. Because they load up to the www faster & take up less room on my free photobucket account and 2. Because should anyone decide to steal any of my pics they won't be able to do a great deal with them to make any money out of them (maybe I should be flattered should that happen <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> It has happened to people I know)It is said that 72 dpi is fine for computer monitors and the www but I make mine 200dpi because most host sites eg photobucket, Facebook etc do have image compression built in, so an already small image is made even smaller and looks totally crap. Making it a little bigger allows the compression without losing too much quality. I then resize to 900x600 because most forums prefer that size (or slightly smaller) or resize them anyway when you post them. The images end up being about 85kb....they load fast <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />It is personal tho & everyone has their own opinion about how it should be done depending on their own circumstances <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
