Preparing Photos for Display on Websites
Websites can only display photos at 72dpi resolution, which is the resolution of standard monitors. This means that you should never upload high res images for display on websites (ie: your camera takes hi res images at 300dpi).
Always prepare & resize your photos BEFORE you upload them.
If you are intending to display a photo on a web page (ie: not in your galleries) then the photo should be resized as close to the actual DISPLAY SIZE as possible before you upload it.
For example, if your website uses a horizontal navigation menu, then you will have a max page width of approx 960 pixels, so you can't display any photos wider than 960 pixels. If you have a vertical navigation menu, then your max page width will only be approx 800 pixels.
This means that if your max page width is 800 pixels, then to insert a photo that fills half the width of the page, you will need to resize your photo width to approx 400 pixels.
Once you have inserted your photo into the page editor you can fine tune the image size by dragging the handles on the image corners.
If you don't have any batch resizing software you can download free tools such as Irfanview and FastStone Photo Resizer.
