Resizing photographs for website

[mcoombs]

I am designing a website which will have several photographs on it. I need to resize the photographs (from the digital original)so that they do not lose clarity on the site.

As I have a copy of Photoshop Elements 4 I thought I should be able to use this. However I have never used the programme and don't know where to begin. I have tried the help section but could not find the relevant topic.

Any advice will be much appreciated.

Thanks
Michael

...in elements, there is i believe, a 'save for web' option, under the file menu...

...images on the web are based upon pixel dimensions not resolution...

...this link may help you out:

...with pixel dimensions in mind, if a user has a higher pixel monitor than you have, they will be viewing the images smaller...

...view images at 100% to get a better idea of the quality...
