What size photos do the rest of you upload to your albums and what program do you use to resize them?

I have been using Lightroom which works well but I'm finding that since the photos are usually DNG's when I shrink them to jpg's, resize them to about 700x500 they run between 70 and 200 kb depending on what is in the photos. Busy photos with lots of trees and landscapes are larger. Others average around 100.

When I tried using the batch command in Bridge, to get a decent looking photo it kept them quite large. And when I tried using the "save for web" feature in Photoshop it did a great job reducing the photos, but seemed to corrupt the EXIF data.

I had written before that some of the photos showed the EXIF data and some didn't and when I did some testing the ones that wouldn't show the EXIF data were the ones coming off of "save for web". It was very sporadic. Some would show the info and others would not. When exporting from Lightroom the photos are larger in size but show all the info.

Thought I'd see what others did.

Thanks,
Sue

you also can try to let UMG resize it, for example, your max photo size is set to 800 * 600, you upload your original picture( for example, the picture imported from DC), so UMG will resize them to 800 * 600, and keep the exif data.

you can try it to see if you are satisfied with the photo quality and file size.

I have gone back and re-worked the photos and have them at 700x500. That size works the best with the skin I chose. The default size is too small so upped the size a bit. I experiment with the quality finding a happy medium between too large of a kb count and too low which produced a lousy looking photo. This was the easiest to do in Lightroom. Having UMG resize quite often pixelated the original photos. All seems to be working well with using Lightroom and not having Photo Shop do the reduce for web use. Lightroom keeps the exif data.

I'm now adding the up dated photos and all seems to be working well.

Thanks for your help.
