ok that was good information! now can you show me or direct me to see how my photoshop screen should look when I try to upload to etsy? My photos always come out blurry and I don't know what to do. Etsy says use 162 or 570 pixels wide. I don't know what that means. When I put the width in 570 pixels everything changes and it is horrible. HELP PLEASE!

I don't have a problem with this in ARIZONA, especially at this time of year (June). I think my Etsy photos from last winter kind of sucked because they were blurry due to dim light...and a below par camera, of course.
