Plus, I haven't seen any "artifacts" in any of your shots, Andreas, so I'm not too sure why you think it's degrading the quality of your pics.
Either I have a crappy monitor or you guys are simply too paranoid about trivial things. lol 
*edit*, a quick USM after resizing usually brings back the sharpness you lost after resizing.

With my pic, it was just that the color saturation went down a whole lot... Its actually probably because I forgot to change color profiles before I saved

What I've learned is that if you want to use your pics for web, convert to sRGB and save for web, and that usually does the trick in retaining your original colors.

Totally random pic from yesterday down at Belcarra... I was messing around with something on the cam, accidentally hit the shutter release, and got this shot. I was going to toss it, but for some reason, I decided I liked it, so it stayed.  | |

i know it was an accidental shot, but the fact that the "mid" ground is the only part in focus makes it poor in my opinion, if the closest area was in focus or the farthest, i think you'd have a much better picture.
yes, i know it was an accidental photo, do not take it the wrong way.

Having the farthest area in focus would be even worse.

Bildo: I'm not sure how long you've been shooting, but from the look of those 3 pics, I think you need to play around with Depth of Field. The first one is distracting (for me, anyways) because nothing is sharp, the second is distracting because everything is sharp. As far as the 3rd pic goes, I kind of like that one.

not long, i started last week with my d50.
Thanks for the advice though, i really need it.
