For viewing at the kind of file sizes commonly posted on WPF you aren't going to gain much by pushing the slider up more than about 75% of the way towards the right. You will notice very little difference once you get to more than 65% unless your image is particularly complex and patterned.

Hi LindyJo,

I use Paint Shop Pro and the method Duncan has described is the way to go.

I have versions 7 and 8, and if you want, I can do a series of screen captures and text description of the route I take. The dialogue boxes are a bit different so if you are on either of these versions I can do the screen captures in that version.
