Re: my lil girl elle...

Erin, Very cute young lady there...

I use 1024 pixels on the long side as a very general rule.

Attaching Files or Images to Threads or Posts

Size and quality for Attached Images!!

After you post your less than 100K version here, you could also post a larger version at your own hosting site or one of these: ImageVenue.com (3Meg max, free) or pixentral.com (2Meg max, free) or photobucket.com (1 Meg max free,... 5 Meg PRO)-- then post a link here in this thread to the site that is hosting your larger version.

Just a quick glassy look for a sample 1024 size @ 99K

Re: my lil girl elle...

I concur Gilbert. Tried resizing before editing it, but the result was way too blurry to post. If I didn't smooth, the the pixels would have had to be smudged, and I hate smudging. lol

Hope this one works for you Erin. Been stippling a lot lately (not really in the mood for illustration/oils/watercolor) of late.
