    As an artist I need to send images at specific sizes ie 1MB etc, can you tell me how to calculate this size at the moment it is very hit and miss. I am sure it is easy if you know how! Thanks

    Hi Pennie,
    In simple terms, it’s calculated by image dimensions x image quality.
    Once you have made your image at the dimension required go to “File/Save for Web & Devices”. The image size is in the bottom left hand corner.
    You can reduce the image size in the top right hand corner in the “Quality” Box. Keep reducing the image quality until you get your 1MB.

    Thanks so much for your help.
    I have added some new product and uploaded some pics, however although the pics were the right way around they seem to come up sideways on the website and i cannot seem to find a "rotate" option.. What do i do in this case?

    Hi Penny C,
    In Photoshop, go to “Image/Rotate Canvas”
