T

he primary feature digital camera marketers focus on is megapixels. Contrary to popular belief,

this has nothing to do with the quality of the image; rather, it is merely a measurement of the

size of the image that the camera can take. A 6-megapixel camera likely takes images that are

far too big for a Web site: about 3,000 pixels wide by 2,000 pixels tall. Most Web sites can more

effectively use images between 100 and 600 pixels wide. You can use Photoshop Elements to scale

them down to a size that better fits your site’s design requirements.
