Answer
In this example we are resizing a photo to fit a specific 400px x 300px slideshow frame. Our goal is to optimize our picture for best presentation in this frame. These specific instructions use the free online photo editing service at www.picnik.com . A good photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop will accomplish the same result.
Choose your photo on your computer.
Go to www.picnik.com . Click the "Upload a Photo" button and upload your photo.
Click the "Crop" button.
Select "800 x 600 Desktop" in the constraints box. (800x600 will give us the same aspect ratio as 400x300)
Slide the corners of the constraint box until you get the view you want. Click OK.
Now click the "Resize" button.
Change the "800" dimension to "400". The height dimension should automatically change to "300".
Click "OK"
Click the "Save & Share" tab.
Give your photo a NEW descriptive file name such that other site admins will recognize when and where it came from. ie..1010RyderCup1.jpg The new name is important as to not overwrite your higher quality original when you put it back on your computer.
Set the format to "JPG" and slide the "quality" slider to the right so long as your file size does not exceed 300kb.
Click "Save" to download your edited file back to your computer.
Congratulations your picture is now properly sized and named for use on your website.
