dawa Member	7 Jul 2010 19:57 Reply I do digital photography, and I would like to have about 30 images on my site most of them to appear about 3x5" on a monitor. What resolution should I make them before putting them on the site? And, how do I determine how many GB of image space I would need? Thank you.

When you upload these, if they are horizontal images, they should appear about 3" x 5" on a standard monitor. Also, you can adjust the size that these images are displayed in the Advanced Options of each image gallery. Here's some more on info on this: http://help.icompendium.com/pmwiki.php/GettingStar ted/BigDoIWantMyThumbnails The best guideline for choosing a plan is number of images you want to upload. If you only have 30 images, the Bronze plan should be fine, with lots of room to grow. Hope this helps. Thanks! Van
