With the "Constrain Proportions" option selected, the shorter side will automatically be in the neighbourhood of 450 pixels. The resolution need only be in the neighbourhood of 100 dots per inch (maximum of 150 dpi). If these technical requirements present a concern for you, please consult with the Web Site Manager.
