06/03/07 - Resizing digital photos to a reasonable 640x480 will allow viewers a clear picture of your artwork without having to wait for download time. Resizing also frees up computer space. Sorting out your images and backing them up on a CD is helpful as well. Computer crashes can occur, and digital images could be lost forever if they have not been backed up externally. |
