Step 4: Name and Compress your Pictures
It is extremely important that you compress all pictures uploaded to the web. Uncompressed pictures take a long time to load.
Type a name for your album
here.
This sets the number of pixels
across. Set to either 640 or 800.This sets the amount of
compression. You should
usually set this to
minimum.
Add a watermark to all photos if
you wish to protect your
copyrights.
