How do others resize for uploads?

Andy,
You aren't doing your pictures justice by using this method. Most members seem to have their screens set up to view pictures with a max width of 1024 pixels (landscape) or height of 800 (portrait). If your squeezing them down to 600x400 then people really won't be appreciating them at their best. Try resizing to the max dimensions I've given (depending on format) and varying the jpeg compression to about 70% of the max. As Roy says, it can make very little difference, but this depends on how complex the picture is.
This has been discussed at great length in several other threads.
