How do you save your images??? I dont get how to save at 200% and how to save to see the details???

Don't quite get what you mean Amanda ? If you want to enlarge your image to 200% and then save it as a psd, it will open at the size you saved it at. If you post more details of what you mean I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

saving my photos to post on here or in jpg.?? When i save them you cant see the detail and I noticed scott writes saving at 200% not sure how you do that?? I have been zooming in and taking a screen shot and saving it that way but its wrong!!!!

Hi Amanda

Are you using Photoshop? If so use "save as web" (with a copy of your image so you don't lose your original) to post online...you select the size and the quality you want your image to be. Maybe Scott is showing you a crop of the image? Does this help?

edit: Are you referring to resolution...200dpi for printing?

yes thanks!! sometimes it says my file is to big for web!! im not so sure.. i just find when i zoom out to normal size on my photo i cant se ethe detailing

Hi Amanda

This is what I do, others probably do differently. Work on your original and save (normally as a psd if in Photoshop)... take a copy of this... flatten any layers... go into "Image" ... "Image Size" and look in the top two boxes...here you can alter the width and/or height of the image...leave the resolution at 72 (for web uploads). This will reduce the size of your image noticeably most times...then use "Save for Web". If your image is still too large (either file size and/or physically) then you can mess around further with the image size and/or quality settings in this window.

Depending on why you're uploading to the web etc can determine the size and quality of your image eg some forums have a limit on file size and/or image size.

If you're wanting to show detail of your image...again after saving the original file as a psd, duplicate it then crop as desired...the procedure for uploading this cropped version to the web is the same as above.

Does this help a little?

super thanks
