Optimize Images

Duplicate the image you are using, save the original if you need it and shrink the copy.

Rename the copy to a name you can find easily (that includes your name, like “joline_project1_1”), then open it in  Preview on mac (or similar software on PC).

Select Adjust Size from the Tool Menu:

Then with both blue boxes clicked, and the dropdown next to width & height set to “pixels”, set the largest edge of your image to 1200 (the other will change automatically).  Make sure the resolution is set to 72 pixels/in.
