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... :/
