Sorry more on re sizing for slide show making.

[mrcycleuk]

This sounds as if I am really bonkers, and I think I have been!
I have been re sizing photos for the slide show, (keeping the original
for printing) by cropping to size i.e. 4in x 3in, but some are 15 MB. as
jpeg's.

I have now found that if I then reduce in Photoshop by reducing the
pixel size to around 40-50 KB the display is the same size but much
lower file size.
So should I now crop to 4x3in first then reduce the pixel size? Or will
reducing the pixel size alone do it?
I realise the opening time will be quicker, and make a file of 700 shots
a lot better size.
Can someone please tell me if this will be ok before I reduce all the
shots.
