resizing photo for here

Just taken my first pics with the canon 450d and a few are in RAW so 15mb, I have the canon software + photoshop CS3 but cant see an obvious way to get them compressed for the rules here without them going down to 33kb and looking far too compressed
any quick advice on resizing and compressing to keep as much quality as possible?
thanks

Re: resizing photo for here

will try and explain the best I can, I use the Canon Digital Photo Professional and when I want to convert from raw I go to top left hand corner and click file,
convert and save, another box opens, tick the box which says resize, then change size to width 800 and the next box will change to 533, then save to file, if its still to large you can change the quality.

Hope thats clear(as mud)

i usually -

then to resize. upload to photobucket but set it to resize to 800 on upload

You can always try Bdresizer as Raf from the G1 sharing thread told me about idimager.com | freeware.idimager.com

Try these settings resize to 900px, method = smart, sharpened 10%, size restricted to 300K

thanks all, Tonkie did what you said but it was still too big for the photo comp here, but when uploaded to flikr it got compressed again, so it fits the rules now, thanks
