Sweet shot, looks like the the kid is a bit out of focus but composition and b&w conversion looks good

Set the size in LR. There are a few options but for screen and digital display I normally just set the long edge between 1000-2000 pixels, ppi 100 for screen. That's normally big enough to see details but not quite high enough for a good print.

ppi 100 for screen

Why bother setting ppi? It's a tag that is unused. Might as well set it to 3000, as long as the pixel dimensions are correct.

To be fair mate I hadn't looked into it that much, but you are right. I'll just start leaving it at 300 then as that's what I put in for print. Thanks for the input!

Not to go off topic here, but if I try to upload at 300 ppi it kicks me out every time and says upload failed. If I lower it to 200, it goes through fine.

BTW, nice shot.

i don't know what is up with that either. Think it has to be under 2 megabytes or something. i put things jpg and shrunk them to 2200 pixel by whatever to get them to post...

course the photo files are different sizes. so some i have to make smaller....to get them under 2 megabytes...

If I'm uploading to here I also set the maximum file size in LR export to just below the upload limit

File size probably has a lot more to do with anything than the PPI. I don't use LR, but here is a shot from a birthday party shoot on January 20. Never mind the picture, it's chosen to be innocuous. But note that it has the PPI set to 3000 for demonstration purposes.
