Re: TIF -> JPEG & dpi

2007-08-04 by David

Open the file in Photoshop (or another program), do a resize (Image
Size) to the specifications you want (you should be able to apply both
the resolution and the image pixel size), then do a Save As and select
JPEG. At this point you'll usually get to make a decision about image
quality (which affects file size also). I usually go no lower than
70-57% compression. 

In photoshop, as an alternative, instead of Save As, you can select
Save for Web from the file menu. You then get to select the
compression and see the results on-screen before you save the image. 

Best, David.
