Default SH5 Realistic Photo Thread.

Thought it was about time we had a SH5 version of a old favourite SH3 thread.

Photoshop can get that down to 700k or so by dropping to Medium Quality, you'll only lose a small amount of detail and color surprisingly. Resizing to 1024 can get you down to 300k. Personally I like the high rez shots.

I use photobucket for all my online posted pics, and it has it's own editing function as well as a host of other things.
Resizing is a 5 second operation once the shot is uploaded and I always resize to 800x600 for posting on forums. And in this way it doesn't come out so wide that folks have to scroll left to right and up and down to view the entire image, and even then only seeing a small prtion of it at one time.
In fact it keeps the post to the same width as the rest and fits the screen.
Luckily on this forum a large image doesn't force all the post's on that same page to go that wide, only the post with the image gets stretched unlike some other forums which would cause the entire page to stretch and then one has to scroll left to right to read others posts untill the next page.

Default keys to knock UI off are Shift + Z

ps: Ctrl + F11 takes a screenshot
