How to Change Image Files for the Internet using Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and On1 Raw
I’ve had some questions asked about how to get your high-resolution JPEG images ready for the Macro Chat Live Show. That’s a good question and to tell you the truth I also thought this would help you prep for Social Media sharing. That can be confusing too.
In this Quick Dive video I share with you easy steps on how to change your large image file into files for the Internet using Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and On1 Raw.
I also found a helpful site so you can see what sizes works well with various social platforms. Check it out at the bottom of this article.

Story behind this image:
I shot this during the blue hour. I took a large flashlight to highlight the beautiful rocks in the desert of California. I love to photograph desert landscapes (if you couldn’t tell 🙂 ). We had a great time camping! Kevin helped a Swedish couple with their RV and they gave us a bottle of champagne. I love Swedes 🙂 What an evening….I had champagne, enjoyed a nice camp fire and I shot this image playing with light painting. Yes, I was one happy lady.
I want you to know that when I share on social media I don’t change all the sizes that the link below gives us. That would take forever…I see what’s the minimum and go from there.
Click here to help you see the various sizes for Social Platforms. It really is a great reference.
Feel free to ask questions below or just say Hi…I read every comment.
