Thanks... I appreciate the help. I guess my question is, if you are reducing to put something on a slide show (Photomagico for instance) ... won't it be grainy when it's magnified on a large screen tv or shown on a large screen through a projector? What's the best size to reduce for this?

@mimamagyar You should be fine since it is still only using a screen (monitor, TV, or projector) so the lower resolution should not be a problem. If you create the image so that it is large enough to fill the screen during the slide show, then it will not look "grainy" when shown on a larger screen. I view images from my website on my 42" HD plasma as well as a 96" video wall at school, and they still look fine. It should work. If in doubt, look up HD imaging and see what others suggest.

This didn't help :( I am trying to make a youtube background but I can't because when I go to "Save AS JPEG" it always ends up being 300k+ in size and I did the the steps... :/

thanks, my camera takes 25MB photos and i'm pretty sure i've never seen anything worth looking at in 4000p res. but if you go to "save as", THEN it asks you to save changes, it'll save over the small one, not the big one

So, you just give this help away for free? Oh well, you know we still have to take the required courses to get the degree! ;)
