Ashley,

Find out the width of your blog. Width equals, X
For 2 Horizontal and 2 Vertical take X/2 and the length of the top of your images should be X/3
For 3 Horizontal and 3 Vertical take X/3 and the length of the top of your images should be X/3.
For 1 Horizontal and 1 Vertical it gets a bit tricky. I’ll have to figure out the equation, but for a blog width that equals 900, the height of the Vertical and Horizontal images should be 417.

I add a thin white border between my images as well.

Dennis, I don’t sharpen my normal hi-res images for print.

Hi Michelle,
Best post ever.
Do you mind sharing what your dimensions are for your layouts with >1 vertical and 1 horizontal?
>2 horizontal?
>3 horizontal?
>3 vertical?
When I try creating layouts with more photos, the photos get distorted. Your photos always look amazing, no matter what size! Thanks for all the great advice!!

Hi Michelle! I found you on Facebook through another fan friend of mine. WOW! This post was super…just today I was thinking why does that sharpen application go away when I convert it to jpeg or upload it through photobucket. Very helpful, thanks a lot!

So my question is, when you apply ‘sharpen for web’ do you see the affect of it right after you apply it, or when you actually post it on the web. Because whenever I use them, I swear I dont see any change at all, but everyone who has shown what it can do, there are obvious changed.
I hope this makes sense. Thanks so much for being open and willing to share!

hey – thanks for the post… i just wanted to ask, what exactly is wrong with photoshop’s save for web? i never have any colour or quality issues as i convert to sRGB when i load the images and i use 80% quality to preserve lines & gradients – were you meaning those aspects, or something else?

Thanks for sharing, Michelle!! :):) Sharpening for web DOES make a difference. I should probably start doing it…

forgot to ask this question…while you’re resizing, are you changing your resolution to 72 ppi as well?
