Resizing Images
Ideally we’d like the images resized to fit our gallery but don’t worry if you don’t know how to do this as we can take care of that for you….. this might take a little bit longer to get your image online though.
Here’s a short video showing you how to resize an image in Photoshop. For those of you who don’t own a copy of Photoshop you can easily do the same using Picasa which is a free photo editing software from Google. Click the link below to take you to the Picasa website. If you have a Mac, you can resize in iPhoto when you export a photo. Just change the size to custom size and fill in 1200 in the box before you export.
