All my images are 3008×2000, and I want to resize them down to a smaller scale for a web site. I know there must be a simple math equation to use to figure out what size would be safe where the images keep their proportion correct. In other words, at 3008×2000, if I reduce to 600×400, it looks out of proportion. Does anyone know the formula? I knew I should have listened to my 3rd grade math teacher!

Thanks.

Just keep "Constrain Proportions" checked in the Image Size dialog.

got to save for web and click on the image size tab (about the middle of window) Set the one dimension you want to change,say widht 800 and make sure constrain proportions is checked. change the quality to bicubic sharper and click apply and then go save. Under the jpg option at the top, medium quality is probably ok. If you want exactly 800×600 then you will need to crop a little. Using the rectangulr marquee tool to crop with, on the options bar for that tool, change the style to fixed ration and use 4 width and 3 heigth and you will get an image that will scale exactly to 800×600 if you change image dimension
