Reply to "Optimum Uploading size for images."

Hi Danno-it's good to know that it wasn't just me that saw a difference in uploaded images!
I don't have the same issues with the rare photos that I upload.
Most of my images are scanned in 100 year old postcards which by their nature rarely if ever have the quality that we now get from digital photos-this means that I am already using poorish quality images [especialy the printed postcards which vary in print quality by an enormous degree!] even before I scan and resize and then have the result compressed when uploaded!
I usually scan my postcards at 200dpi into 'Irfanview' [free but excellent editor etc. well worth a try!]
I then resize to 1024 x 768 [or as close as possible] save them at 80% quality at 72dpi before uploading to Auctiva.
I'll save the next ones that I do at 100% and 96 dpi and 1024 and see if there is an improvment.
The next question that occurs to me is should the resizing of the image be done before saving at 96 dpi or after?
