Paul, when resizing for web viewing, forget the inches altogether and use the image dimension in pixels; you want an image that’s in the vicinity of 800 pixels by 600 pixels. Monitors speak in pixels; they don’t know about inches; printers know inches and they work best when the resolution is 200 ppi or more.
If you’re wanting to size for the web using Image>Resize>Image Size, you’re going to need to put the check in the Resample box, then adjust the Image Dimensions in the top section. By doing so, you’ll be downsampling (getting rid of excess pixels) so make sure you’ve saved your original image with all its pixels intact before you take the step – if you ever want to print the image with acceptable resolution. Personally, I use the Save for Web feature to create web/e-mail size copies – pretty straightforward and gives you a chance to save the image under a different name – no sweat!
