Hints and Tips for the Image Magnifier
To highlight the HTML code : Click your mouse at the start, then click and drag to the end
To copy the highlighted code : Right click and copy or use CTRL + C
To paste the copied code : Right click and paste or use CTRL + V
(Ensure you have clicked your mouse where you want to paste the code before you paste it!)
Image sizes (in pixels) : Images need to be no bigger than 1200 x 1200 pixels for best results
Image file type : .jpg's are best with 75%-80% compression to optimize file sizes (in kbs)
Any good image editing program can do this for you, a FREE one I recomend is : Irfanview
A plain/clear background for your images is better than a fussy detailed background
For a good, easy to use program to apply clear (white) or different backgrounds try : BlingIt!
