How To Edit Photos For Your Website
To edit a photo using Paint Shop Pro, click on "Open" and select the photo you want to edit from your computer files.
Click on "View" and select "Normal" to see the actual size of the photo.
Click on "Image" and choose "Resize".
Choose the width in pixels. Try 450 to start, or adjust to your preference. Large photos load slower, so keep the photo relatively small if possible.
Click on "Adjust" (or effects in some versions) and choose "Sharpness". Sharpen 1 time only.
Click on "File" and choose "Export".
Slide your cursor to the right and down to choose "JPEG Optimizer"
Adjust the ratio to make your file size around 30,000 bites (30K). Adjust this as needed for clarity. The larger the photo size, the larger the file will need to be to avoid distortion.
Save the file to a folder for your project. Rename the file to an easy to remember file name for later reference.
