These instructions have been checked in Elements 3, 5 and 7 and in Photoshop 7, CS, CS2 and CS5.
Preparatory: If, when you open your image, you receive a message "Embedded Profile Mismatch": either choose sRGB or just tick Cancel.
1. Photoshop: If you have been working in 16 Bits/Channel, go to Image, Mode and tick 8 Bits/Channel.
2. Photoshop or Elements: if your image has more than one layer, go to Layer, Flatten Image.
Photoshop or Elements:
1. Photoshop - Go to Image, Image Size
Elements - Go to Image, Resize, Image Size
2 Make sure ‘Constrain Proportions’ is ticked
3. Make sure ‘Resample Image - Bicubic’ is ticked
4. The width in pixels should be highlighted (if not, just delete the number in the box).
5. Type 1400 in this width box
6. Is the number of pixels in the height box now larger than 1050?
No? - just click OK
Yes? - delete the number in the height box and type in 1050, then click OK.
7. Ignore all numbers in the ‘Resolution’ box - this is used only for printing.
8. If the new image now looks too small on the screen, this is because it is at a small zoom percentage, but it will fill the screen - double-click the Hand Tool icon or click ‘Fit Screen’ when Zoom Tool is selected.
9. Save this resized image under a new file name* so as to preserve your original image.
a) * File name to be: MembershipNo _Level_sequence number_title.jpg

(b) Only if the height box shows 1050: type 1400 in the width box
(c) If neither of these 2 options apply, you have not resized correctly and must go back and start again!

Photoshop:
1. In newer versions of Photoshop go to Edit, Convert to Profile
In older versions of Photoshop go to Image, Mode, Convert to Profile

3. If it does, you need do nothing: click Cancel.
4. If it does not, click on the down arrow and select the sRGB colour space from the drop down menu. Click OK.
5. If you have changed the colour space, you need to save the image again.
Elements 3:

If the option is greyed out you don’t need to change anything here because sRGB is already selected.
