That looks quite good, im not sure how to save my photos, im taking them in RAW with a 500d and then converting them with Digital photo professional before doing levels etc with PSE7, when i finaly save them as TIFF the files are 70-90MB, too big to send via E-mail so I would have to use a flash drive

I resized my image to 5000x 7500 pixels (250ppi) and saved as a jpeg at level 10 in photoshop. Also the colour space i used was srgb.( 5mp)

I tried saving at 300 ppi and as alarge jpeg, (18mb) i sent the file about 7pm on a saturday night, and george from ezyprints rang about 8 pm to say it didnt come through as file was to big. He told me to follow the instructions above.

ps
I put my nose ( almost) on print and the detail is sweet :)

If you are wanting to send large files try using www.yousendit.com (http://www.yousendit.com)

It's free and reliable, the photographer I work for and myself use it all the time for sending images between each other and to clients etc.

If you want to send multiple files at once just archive the files and send them through.

Easy as pie and you get confirmation as well which is great.
