The Monthly schedule is that a new image will be posted on the site by the 25th of the preceding month. Please email me your images by the 10th of the month and I will post by the 15th of the month. Email me your comments by the 22nd of the month and I will post the comments and the following months image.

On the 10th of the month when you email me your new image, also send me your email letter about anything you wish to discuss, including what your are doing, new techiniqes, questions about various techniques and comments you might wish to make about the comments on past month's comments.

All images will be sized to a maximum of 500 pixels on each side and then saved as in JPEG format with a file size of 70KB maximum.

One way to do this is by resizing your image in Photoshop's Image > Image Size menu. In the dialog box check Resample. In the boxes in the top called Pixel Dimensions, Change the pixel dimensions so that neither height or width is greater than 500 pixels. I want to point out that you do NOT have to change the resolution of the image. Changing this to 72 dpi is a myth. Resolution is only for determing the resolution for printing. Pixel dimensions are the only numbers that need to be changed.

You can then Save As and pick JPEG and a quality to keep the file size to 70KB. Another good approach is to use the Save For Web command in the File menu and you can get a visual comparison of the image after compression and you can pick the quality that gives you the best image, again keeping the file size at 70KB max. Also a good way to do this is in the Save For Web dialog box you will find a little arrow on the right side above the word Optimized and when you click on this arrow you will find a selection Optimize to File size. If you select this, you can enter 70 in the Desired File Size box.

Would you please try and put your name as part of the image file name, i.e. months_image_john.jpg. This will help me a lot in placing the images.
