There are 2 file size settings:

* it is best to make sure that you enable the “constrain proportions” check box

Related to the physical proportions is cropping of the image.

1) Select “output size” from constraint drop down

2) Set desired width and height in relevant fields

3) Using the crop tool draw over desired region

4) Hit enter on keyboard

5) Result will be of desired dimensions

It is very important to also set the file size of an image. Optimally the size of an image should be no more than 50kb.
To do this :
=>File

=>Save

=>Then you will see this display:

Adjust the “quality” slider or numeric value until the image is of the desired file size.

Then save to an appropriate section of your computers’ hard drive.

Remember to save this adjusted image as a different file name!

ONCE ALL THE STEPS ABOVE ARE COMPLETE, YOUR IMAGE WILL BE READY FOR UPLOAD & USE!
