I am trying to save/publish a high resolution (small 1") picture to the web. The problem I am having: 1 the hi res is making my image huge, 2/ when I save for web the end product has a white border around the image. What tools or tips can I do in photoshop to make my image a high resolution but keep the size I want. The image has two colors. Anything suggestions please?

    When you're saving something for the web, resolution is irrelevant. The only thing that matter is the number of pixels on each side.

    Can you step back a bit and tell us what you're really trying to accomplish with "hi res" ?

    "end product has a white border around the image"

    Chances are the image has a transparent border which is being exported as jpg which does not support transparancy and so converts it to white. If you're exporting for the web you only have 72dpi so hi res is irrelevant. What is it you're actually wanting to do?

    As others have said, it'd help to know the overall goal. Why "hi res"? And why "small"?
    Note that those two are normally opposite features, particularly in most standard
    image formats.

    Often, one links a small (and low-res) image, that appears on-screen, to a large (hi-res)
    image. You access the hi-res by clicking on the low-res. Is that your goal? Or...?

    Pinky,

    Could you tell us why you're posting a 1" high resolution file? Are you making it available so someone can print it or is there another purpose?
