 * I had friend/graphic designer create my header image, dimensions 900×175. The
   first time she did it as high resolution (300dpi) and of course the image didn’t
   fit into the header. Then she changed it to 72dpi and while it fits perfectly
   size-wise, now it is fuzzy.
 * This is my first [blog](http://chaosisbliss.com), trying to figure as much out
   on my own as I can before I announce it.
 * Is it correct to be a .jpg at 72dpi? Or would it be sharper if it was a another
   extension/file type besides .jpg?
 * Thanks.

 * she may just need to adjust the quality setting before save… it should always
   be 72dpi for web… the only reason it would be pixelated like that would be if
   she had the quality slider set on low or medium if working in photoshop

 * Hi, if you can send me the link to the 300dpi image I can reduce file size, keep
   image sharp, AND make it the dimensions you want.
