option in the “EDIT” dialog.

(approximately) the desired size. If not you can resize your picture now to about 800x600 pixels.

if the ratio box is ticked.
----Make sure the size method is ticked as shown in the picture for the Lanczos method allows optimum
results.

c) Then save the picture by using the “FILE” dialog and by giving the picture a meaningful file name. To
achieve a good relation between file-size and file-quality use the settings as shown in the saving options
screenshot.
- Make sure the quality sliding switch is at about 80 and none of the boxes in the save options dialog is
ticked to achieve maximum versatility of the saved file.
- Actually make sure the “Show options dialog” box is ticked to see the options.
