Okay, is there anyway of setting a jpeg image so that when its uploaded to the web, if people want to print it, it comes out very small, but still looks fine and decent sized on the monitor?

I’m trying to set these photo’s I’ve recieved from the Parish and school I’m creating a website for, and they want to set any pictures that go in the gallery that have ANY kids in them to print out really small **like 1×1 inch-wise, BUT still look to be the proper size in the web browser.. child safety measures I guess**.

I’ve tried to adjusting the resolution sizes and the pixels. Prints out fine in Photoshop BUT when I print from the web browser, it prints out big again.

ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

Debra,

Image Resolution means NOTHING to a web browser. The size it displays at is entirely based upon the number of pixels in the file and it will always print at the same size as it views at.

There really is NOTHING you do to achieve what you have asked in nay sort of guaranteed way- if it is displayed on-screen, then it can be printed at that size.

There are ways to make it more difficult to print an image, such as putting it in it’s own browser window with no menu bar…….but you will still be able to take a screen-shot, paste that into another application and print from there

someone suggested that I cut the images up and just piece them back together in a table , with each image having its own mini page, and no menu bar, like you said above.

Thanks anyway though ^__^

Debra,

That makes it more difficult to ‘steal’ the images, but has no effect on the Print Screen option.
