Select the Save for Web (Legacy)... option under File then Export.
Depending on which optimized file format you select, there are several options available on how you want to best save your image for the web. We recommend you use either a JPEG or GIF format. Read more about Optimized File Formats for the Web here.
IMAGE SIZE
Reducing your image size will reduce the overall file size. The image below shows a width of 3000 pixels and a height of 2000 pixels. For web images, typically an image that has the longest edge at 1000 pixels will be large enough for your purposes. If the chain link is linked, both width and height will remain in the same aspect ratio when you change the other.
JPEG COMPRESSION
If you selected a JPEG Optimized File Format, then you can select a Compression Quality option.
GIF OPTIMIZATION
If you selected a GIF Optimized File Format, then you can select a Color Reduction Algorithm, Dither Algorithm, and other options. We recommend that you stick with the default options, but you can read more about Optimizing GIF Files here.
Select the Export As... option under File then Export.
In the export menu, set your Format as JPG. You can modify the Quality of the image. A lower quality will have a smaller file size.
If you are uploading to an Omeka site, you will need to get your file size to 2mb or smaller.
The land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.
The land acknowledgement used at UC Santa Cruz was developed in partnership with the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band Chairman and the Amah Mutsun Relearning Program at the UCSC Arboretum.
