Images

It is recommended that you to set the resolution of the image to 72dpi. Pictures off digital cameras are usually at a much higher resolution which is a waste on a computer monitor. We suggest you optimise the jpg in programmes such as Photoshop using the Save for Web menu. This will allow you to find the best compromise between size and quality.
