When working with images for a website, you will need to resize your images to suit your particular

purpose. Here is a basic guide that can help you decide on what is suitable. (The units used here are

pixels, which are standard units across all computer platforms. The conversion between pixels and

inches is roughly 1? = 72 pixels or 1cm = 28 pixels) To use this particular unit of measure you will

need to adjust you preference settings by selecting Edit > Preferences > Units and Rulers and

changing the units and rulers to measure in pixels.
