Use resample or resize to get the image to 800xwhatever, then use the JPeg quality settings while saving to get the filesize down to 360KB or less.
DPI setting has no influence on size on screen, only on printed size.

Thanks so much! I just downloaded Photoshop Elements 3 yesterday and found the jpeg quality utility at your suggestion -- a huge help. I've just scanned a 6X7 med. format print, optimized it, and it looks terrific. I should probably resubmit my first uploads, using this process.
Usefilm is a great community. The attention to quality is inspiring. Thanks again, Jeroen.

Your uploads seem to be fine-they dont look unusually small or anything.
I did the same thing when i scanned from print-took me a while to figure it out. Its pretty hilarious, some of the first pictures in my portfolio are REALLY tiny.

I just went to your portfolio Ned, and none of the images would enlarge when i clicked on them. Did you remove them? I wonder whats going on there...ive never seen pictures in a portfolio that wouldnt enlarge.

Hi CorrieLynn -- thanks for looking at (or trying to look at) my photos. I think I'll need to remove them all, run them through Photo Elements for sizing and optimizing, and reupload. They open okay as "mediums" but not large, so they're fairly low-res right now.
I appreciate your comments. Thanks.

On Elements 3, try 100 dpi, and then size to 4.5x6.5. This should work. If it still does not work go to 82 dpi. Unfortunately anything above 100 Dpi I have little sucess with.
On one adobe I set dpi at 225 and images at 4x3. So try that.

Hi Chuck,
What I've been doing in PS Elements 3 today is first sizing by pixels (at 800 for the longest dimension) and then optimizing for a file size of 360K, which seems to result in a really good large image on the site. All this thanks to this thread amd some detective work.
BTW, your Georgia photos are wonderful. I have a few old sharecropper shack photos from south GA that I'll be uploading soon.
