They're resized for the web. Photoshop level 2 I think -certainly no bigger than about a meg or two. The original files are too big to upload (about 20MB a piece).

Rather than lowering the quality or Photoshop level you'd be better off lowering the resolution and keeping the quality high. When I save mine out I lower them to 900px on the longest side and keep the quality on 12, come out a half a mb each.

OK might start doing that. One of the reasons I lower the quality is actual to protect my images. If somebody were to right click and save one of the photos, then try to blow it up, it wouldn't look good at all because the quality is low.

I presume your method also ensures that you can't blow the images up to a decent size?
 
Even if you retain the quality and lower the resolution then try to blow it up it still won't look good.

What Travis said, yeah - because the resolution is so low they can't really do anything with it, but the quality is still there for viewing on the web. Plus, it makes it easier to upload with them being the right res for forums and a smaller file size.

That's great. Thanks for letting me know about that. I think I might start doing that. :)
 
Does it count as a picture? Guess so...

OK so the story was I had to make an advert for schoolwork, and I chose to do one for my camera, so I made this to put on my advert. :)




Obviously that's not the whole advert, but that's the main picture.
