p.1 #1 · Size of web ready images?

For those who include these copies along with high res ones, approx. what size do you make them? I notice that approx. 800 px wide is common on blog sites. Do you keep the same size for the images you deliver? Thanks!

In LR I reduce them to 72ppi, or 1200x800

I run the "fit image" script in Photoshop to proportion the images. Size varies on what I am delivering for. For some personal work I like them larger but usually around 512.

Yeah 800 seems to be pretty good on the long side. I always want to go larger but you have to remember that not every client/potential client has a 23" monitor. It's good every once in a while to look at your website on a laptop or small monitor to see how some other people see it.

On the somewhat same note, is there a way to batch BOTH sizes at the same time in LR? So as I'm exporting the full res can it also do 800 at the same time. At 5 hours a export I'd like to combine them if I could.

5hrs to export? Holy crap, thats a long time bro, sounds like you need a new computer. I can export 500 5D2 RAWs in 30 minutes tops.

Similar here. i7 in another machine. Huuuge difference in speed.

I do 800px on the long edge too, except for panoramas, that I make longer

Why do people talk about ppi? Pixel dimensions are all that matter!

Yep, you know how big a web image is that's 900x600 at 72ppi? 900x600.

ppi/dpi is a print issue.
