Step 1 David for web posting look at pixels. I usually post pics 1024 pixels wide max. That normally gives 760 pixels tall. If you look at my galley that will give some idea of the displayed size.
I would suggest you first consider 800 pixels wide. So roughly 600 pixels tall. Those are for pics in landscape format. Quite a number of my grahics in the NX thread fit that dimension.
The size you elect for posting is really down to the image quality. If a super job then go 1024 but you can go as far down as you like. 400 and below will be very small, and if you are trying to show any detail it will be hard to see. But there is no fixed rule you can pick anything between say 500 and 800 for starters.
Inches/cm is for printing.

If you still have Paintshop then let me know which version I may be able to help.
Do not worry that you find it all confusing. It took me a while to get my head round my first imaging program and that was without any help. Remember it is
always easy for those that know how, and always easy if you are a sales guy
, you probably have knowledge of things that you think are easy but that would give me a headache.
Do not give up we are here to help if we can.
