Re: my first upload
Great first entry Marlcliff and welcome to the forum again. With limited sight I can imagine the further challenge. Look forward to more contributions, and you might try the weekly Friday Challenge 
Just one thing, your posted image is very small. It would be great to see larger image. Here is one quick method we use as shared between us.... some have variants. Up to you. Also you can save your image, reasonable size, to your favourite image website and link to here as others do, see Help for details of the URL html script required. When your PSD finished select >File >Save for Web Devices. It might complain saying "....too large....", but can ignore most times and go ahead with next steps, if not Flatten before (hint rename and save before flatten if want to keep layers). In the new Save For Web Devices window, change the size to ~750 - 800 pixels on the longest side. Then tune the Quality up-down from default 60 until see the file size < 97kb. You can tune Quality and the Size for whatever is best for your image. Save the new created jpeg of your image and upload it in the normal way. |

Thanks jota120 I did try to attachthe original image is 800x600 but it woulndt let me upload it. but i wasnt sure how to upload and thought you could only upload small imagies. so i run it thru PS5 upload for the web I usually use quite large file sizes in the size of 1240x 3580 i do upload my imagies to a art web site in the original sizes. I hope to be uploads more of my art now i kinda know how to use this forum  and have a go at the friday chalenge and banner Im looking forward to participating.

Hi Marlcliff I like your image. I'm not sure I understand the objects on the tree on the left and the clouds round the horse's legs look as if you have slightly over-used the clone stamp tool. But the overall effect is very pleasing. As Jota120 says, try to make your image just under 100 KB and not more than 850 ppi on the longest side. |
