Resizing pics for website?

I'm trying to resize some pics for my myspace but when I do and I upload them to the site they look grainy. What am I doing wrong? I open my picture on my computer using Adobe photoshop elements. I choose "save picture for web" and keep constrain proportions on then I resize it. Is there a better way of doing this so my pics aren't grainy? I use a Canon 300D so the files are large and need to be resized.

Resizing pics for website?

Hi, do they look grainy only on the internet browser? or when you saved it as a web from photoshop as well? This can happen when you saved the images at a really low resolution or low image quality like GIF's. you can change the options of the save for web menu, and save it as a JPEG as medium quality. JPEG's are better overall and doesn't have as much quality loss then compared to GIF's.

Photoshop would be the best to resize images anyway, so I wouldn't recommend downloading any unnecessary applications just to resize images.

I am not sure if Photoshop Elements has this option but Photoshop CS does. What you can do is go to Image-%26gt; Image Size -%26gt; and adjust your image properties over there. and make sure the file is "72 DPI" (however when you 'save for web' Photoshop should instatly convert the image to 72 DPI) DPI is basically dots per inch.. which is used in printing. 72 DPI is the standard for web, whilst 300 DPI is for print..

I hope this helps.

possibly the save for web option is automatically remove pixelation as well as making smaller, so when viewing on the web, it loads faster, you don't need to use web option, only shrink to size you want, without ratio, and should view clearer, to test before putting on webpage, you can edit various samples of same image, then view in browser as is by drag and drop, also you could create img src html tags for larger image to fit in frame, and then you may want to watermark images and edit exif comments, for security and other options,
