I have a customer who wants her photos on a cd to put on her myspace/photo frame what is the best way to save them for viewing only? I have photoshop elements 5....is there a way to do this on there? or should I use another program? or what would you suggest for this sittuation? thanks for the help Debbie

 For viewing only, you would need to make a DVD slideshow out of the images.  But at the same time, anyone can still capture the image by using the screen capture on the computer.

If you are going to give the client images to use on her myspace and or photo frame, you just need to resize them.  Are you actually giving them the images, or selling them the images, or selling them a release to use the images for these purposes?

I guess I am asking for more clarification of what you plan to do with the images, do you want the customer to have them or just view them?? 

thanks for the reply,,,I sold her a very large package...but she asked if she could have them on cd just for viewing them and putting them on her myspace...which is ok with me..cause I have my © on them....but If I put them as a dvd she won't know how to capture the photo,,,,I guess my next question would be if  I down size them would they still look ok on her myspace,,,or do I downsize them at a lower resolution also?...and if so do you know how to do lower resolution on elements5? I'm so sorry for all the questions...but thanks for your help...I really appreciate it :)

I'm not sure I understand the full situation, but for viewing on a monitor or putting on the internet 72 ppi should work.  In PSE5 you can resize the photo using the resize feature in the image pull down menu. 

For a shortcut, the crop tool will also work.  To do this, open the image and set the crop aspect ratio for no restriction.  Then enter 72 in the pixels field.  Crop the original just within its current borders.  Remember to use save as instead of save, in order to keep from making your original unpritable.
