Photo Size and Resolution for email and Facebook

Photo friends:
    In order to make your email and Facebook photos look good and move fast, use the following basic figures in regard to file Size and Resolution. Size in inches and Resolution in dpi (dots per inch).
   
    The larger the dpi, the better quality prints will be when printed....but....the slower they will move when being called up.
    The lower the dpi, the faster they will move, but they will NOT print clearly.
    Standard Printing uses 300 dpi.
    Standard email and Facebook use 72 dpi.
    Now, you must have software that will Re-size your photos....change them from whatever they are to what you want them to be.
    Recommended sizes are 9 inches wide, or less. (Height doesn't matter). (Width is stated first).
    Go to Google and search for FREE re-sizing software.
    I, personally, use Adobe Photoshop, but a full Professional version is expensive. eBay constantly has Photoshop Elements for much less and it will do most Sizing and Resolution adjustments easily.
