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 1600 in this width box
6. Is the number of pixels in the height box now larger than 1200?
No? - just click OK
Yes? - delete the number in the height box and type in 1200, 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: Your Name_Category_Order of preference_Title.jpg
e.g. John Smith_Level1_1_Lone Tree.jpg John Smith_Level1_2_Windmill At Dawn.jpg etc.

3. If it does, you need do nothing: click Cancel.
