Default

To reduce image size: Get your image up into PSP. From "image" pull-down select "resize." A box comes up with options. Hit radio button near the top for "pixel size." Down near bottom at "Resize type" select "Bicubic Resample." Check both boxes below that to "Resize all Layers" and "Maintain Aspect Ratio." Then go back to the top and enter width. Type in 125 pixels for width. Then hit OK. This would be your thumbnail. Under "files" select "Save As" and give it a new name, and select .jpg fle type. ie: if original file is named widget.xxx, save it as widgetT.jpg.

Now clear the thumbnail by clicking on the X. Reload original image. Do all over again except for the size in pixels can be larger, almost any size you like. So, try, for example, 300 to 500 pixel width. When done, save this as widgetD.jpg for your Detailed image.

Since you'll probably be doing this a lot, you might want to create a directory on your hard drive called "StorePics" or something like that. Then create three sub directories; thumbnails, detailed, and originals.

Hope this helps.
