Photo Size For Uploading To Gallery

What size do you recommend for the photos in the galleries?

In the photo display settings, I have large photo size checked, but the images are coming up very small. (see photo 1) I have also attached the image size for this photo. (see photo 2).
If I don't resize the image at all, it looks great on the gallery, but I am concerned about uploading so many photos at this size. (see photos 3 and 4).

There is quite a difference between 754K and 4.6M.

Any advice greatly appreciated,
Kelly

I would suggest uploading photos around 1500 pixels on the longest side. And in your Sytist admin in Settings -> Photo Settings set the large max width & height to 1500.

That size the file size won't be that big and will be a good viewing size on the website.

Thank you Tim!
Do you know if there is a resizing action that would work with both vertical and horizontal images?

Thank you for creating Sytist...I love it. I had Photocart for years and loved that as well. You have created two wonderful programs.

I think you can export through lightroom if you use that and set the maximum width and height to the same value.

Thanks!

Try this in Photoshop:

File
Scripts
image processor
fill out the Image Processor dialog
1. Use Open images or Select a folder
2. Select a destination folder and check keep folder structure
3. File type - check Resize to Fit
w=1500
h=1500

It will do all this for you, you can also run an action under 4. Preferences

Thanks Conrad. I've been using Photoshop for many years and never knew that was in scripts. It works like a charm! Its much faster than messing with 3rd party software and does more.

What Resolution? It defaults to 240

the actual resolution doesn't matter because my method enters the size in pixels. Pixels never change in size. Resolution refers to how many pixels per inch is viewed so it changes viewing size but a pixel is the same size regardless.

For Example:
If after processing I open it under IMAGE>Image Size, it reports 3.33in x 5 in with a resolution of 300ppi but if you change the width and height to pixels, you get 1000px x 1500px with a resolution of 300ppi

but if you uncheck resample on Image Size and change the resolution to 240ppi, the the size now reports 4.167in x 6.25in and now you can't change the width and height to pixels.

yet if you type in 150ppi, the width and height now reports to 6.667in x 10in - the pixel size remains the same, only the size of the view does.
