Electronic presentation of images requires somewhat different preparation than for printing. This article recommends a process that has proven satisfactory to the author. Other methods may be equally valid, and the “best method” will continue to evolve as technology changes. This article assumes Photoshop CS on Windows, but other image processing software can be used to implement the same method. Although much of the discussion assumes you are preparing images for digital projection, the same methods generally apply to preparing images for display on computer monitors or even televisions.

You may never have created a JPG file using Photoshop before, you probably normally save your files in the proprietary PSD Photoshop format, so these instructions take you through the steps of creating a JPEG file in Photoshop.

Resizing your image
All digital images will be judged at a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. The 1024 is the width across, making the image a landscape format. Firstly, you should resize your image to fit within that pixel area. You will probably want to maintain the proportions of your image, so you may choose to add a background colour to fill any remaining space.

File Size
Working with Photoshop means working with large files; manipulating those files increases their sizes considerably. Therefore managing file size is critical, as it affects the performance of the computer, the storage options, and most importantly for significant number of IC users, the space it occupies on the screen. File size can by cut by first reducing the file resolution to fit the output medium (print, email, web..); second by reducing the pixels dimension; third by changing the file format, which is the final step before the image is ready to be exported. For the image to fit within the screen, the pixel dimension should be less than the pixel dimension of the monitor ( 800×600 for a standard 15 inch monitor screen, 1152×864 for IC monitors).
