Open the photo you want to resize in PSE Organiser. Click on Edit photo which will take you to the editor in Elements. You will find there, under File you will find Save For Web. Click that. A whole dialogue box should appear (though I am not familiar with PSE4). Make sure it is showing as a Jpeg, not a GIF (if it says Gif click on the drop down menu and click on jpeg). Set the quality to medium.
Further down you will see one box called new size. Tick constrain proportions then enter 800 in the width box, then apply.

Save your new, small sized photo with a different name to the original - add web to the name for instance.

You can then upload you new web friendly photo either to the gallery here, or via Photobucket or similar into the forum. Read the sticky at the top of the photos section for more on how to do that.

There are other ways to resize photos but that is the easiest to be going on with .

I sold my 10-20 as I didn't like the landscapes I got with it. Even with foreground interest they just looked wrong - all squashed up and unimpressive.
So now I use the 17-70 (or the 18-135) and get the look I wanted. I make a 2 or 3 shot panorama if I want a sweeping landscape. I also use the 60-250 a lot for landscapes.
Architecture isn't my thing, apart from detail, so I don't miss an UWA for that.

Chris you need to resize using software. Photoshop, PSP, Gimp or Irfanview (amongst many others) will resize your photos to the right pixel width for you.

Merlot for me too. With a goats cheese and walnut quiche.
Had a lot of BBQs lately and didn't fancy yet more meat.
The promised thunderstorm seems to have missed us. It is warm and humid here - 19C still at nearly 11 pm.

Trouble is it's too hot to sit in my attic working on my photos - I still have the ones from my UK trip to work through yet .

Not that I am complaining. I'd rather have this weather than the photos tbh .

Hoegaarden, heard so much about it on here, I'm trying it now. Seems ok.
Not as good as it used to be sadly. Although InBev were forced to keep brewing it in Hoegaarden it doesn't seem the same as it was in the old days.
Still seems to win prizes though, and it does go down very nicely on a warm day like today (it was 27 here today).

Photos don't automatically resize to 800pixels in the forum Stefan. There are quite often wider ones posted - but they throw the forum out of kilter.
But that's not the forums fault, it's the web-browser that you're using that is making the mess

If you use chrome, opera or firefox then everything is okay but if you use IE you need to look at the compatibly mode.
I use Firefox Stefan, and some photos which are too big do throw it out of kilter, whether on the tiny netbook screen or my main PC.

As John says stick to 800 and there are no problems. Provide a link to the bigger picture if you want to.

Photos don't automatically resize to 800pixels in the forum Stefan. There are quite often wider ones posted - but they throw the forum out of kilter. So 800 wide for the forum, but the gallery resizes them automatically if you want it to.

Use a medium jpeg quality too as a high quality isn't needed.

Don't rely on the likes of Photobucket resizing your photos. Always do it yourself.

Bootsy Collins was my first thought on seeing that one too!

Lovely set, but what is this rain of which you speak?

In terms of travel I've come around to using zooms, basically because time is always short and they are far more versatile. Ideal travel lenses are the 18-55mm, 16-45mm and 12-24mm. The 16-50mm is IMHO very fine but heavy and bulky compared to the 16-45mm.
........not forgetting the DA 17-70 of course
Not much bigger or heavier than the 16-45, it fits in the same lens pouch.

Or the 18-135 . Now my travel lens of choice. What you little you lose in IQ you gain in convenience, and range.

Seve Ballesteros has died, he was only 54.

I am not a golf fan by any means, but he was a great player - the non-golfer's golfer is how I heard him described.

RIP Seve.
