First, definitely resize the image in photoshop. Resizing it with html can cause the photo to get distorted, grainy, or blurry. As someone else said, you will most likely have to just decide on one size. About the graininess: Check your color depth. RGB 8 bit/channel, or 16 million colors is ideal. If you have too little color depth, then resizing will make your pictures very grainy. Oftentimes, photo editing software will decrease the color depth to the minimum level upon saving, to cut back on space used. So when you re-open the image, you need to bump the color depth back up. Hope this helped! =] |
