I think 400-600 kilobytes is good enough. about 900 x 600 pixels is what I use and then save at quality that produces that amount. You can save higher, but it won't look any better on the net and will take too long too upload.

Thanks for the feedback!
Okay, I'm gonna try this again. Here is .jpg made at 50% of original psd file. The .jpg is about 1.5 mb. Not sure how the site generates thumbnails so in the interest of sparing those with slower broadband I've provided a link below.
Link to photoAbout the pix.
This is a study of the use of some Photoshop tools. It utilizes 2 filters (high pass and brush stroke) to take a run at a painterly appearance.
This is the first time I've tried to duplicate a .psd with a jpg. There is a large drop off in color ranges when Photoshop saves as a jpg even at max quality settings. How do others remedy this? Do you save the file and then tweak the jpg for on-screen observation or is there a better way?
Thanks for your comments!
