Low Resolution Images

[BryanPanting]

Just wanted to get some quick advice on something. I just shot my first wedding a few weeks ago, and the agreement was to give the client all the images in a low res form. My question is what size should I be reducing them down to. Would something like a 900x600 image be acceptable, or should I go a little smaller even? Any suggestions would be great.

Preferably the actual size would have been specified in your contract with the client. My low-res images are delivered at 720 pix on the long side, which is optimal for Facebook currently.

I usually resize to 700-800 px if it's "low res." For high res (as opposed to full res), I'll do 2000 px.

A good low res internet number is 720pix on the long end. Also make sure to change the dpi to 72.
