You should try if it is possible to select raw setting for your pictures!!, then the quality
is second to none!!!

I have a 4 year old canun ixus70 7 megapixel with a 16gb card in it
an my n8 phone is a 12 megapixel with a 32gb card in it :sin:

[Uncle Ed]

Hey Ansel errr I mean Ira,

Get this: http://download.cnet.com/Prish-Image-Resizer/3000-2192_4-75180364.


Install and it will be in your right click menus...great little tool.
Will always save your originals too. Have someone smart teach you how to use it like your wife.

 

[redbenjoe]

thank you uncle ed -

planning to resize my size ... tonight

 

[jaetee]

jaetee--- or anyone

i just downloaded picassa-

dont see any RESIZE options ?
are there ??

thanks

Yes.... use the green thumb tack at the bottom of the screen to you have to select the pics you want to resize.

Then, you click on the export feature and can direct the export feature to resize your pics (without making any changes to the originals) and it will save them into an export folder wherevery you tell it to...

Ed's solution sounds pretty good for that too.... But the picassa software also has some basic, but good cropping, red-eye reduction, leveling and color correction features that are pretty easy to use.

Have fun learning...

Have a great time taking photos!

update --

new OLD digi-cam not ready for the prime-time teenage bikini hotties--
so - today - for starters ,,,i stayed on the 'mature' side of the beach..and
practiced shooting old ( slow) folks in shutter priority

cant say the resolution is spectacular
but --way better than my old old floppy disc cam -

and this wimpy 3X optical zoom --is useless
for any surfing -- offshore by 30 yards .

still --for close-ups --its good
-----------------------
both pos & neg instructional comments are welcome

 

[Gluecifer]

Fantastic, Ira!! Brilliant work!!



Rock On.

 

[redbenjoe]

thanks rick --

now that i am our new resident pro --at hi rez shots -
i was gonna chime in on your thread today --re camera advice -
but --thought better to stay out of it
---------------------------------------
still - i do think that for your main purpose -
of taking great close-up box shots ....

and since you dont need long lenses to shoot lions and whales-- at 100 yards
and you dont need special ' shoot in the dark' capabilities..

and you dont have to freeze race cards at the daytona finish line

then just ONE great 50mm ( equiv ) lens --
on a new good body - can do the hi-rez magic for you -

and --my guess is that you dont need anything $$ close to $1000-
bet --400-500 will be plenty

 

[Lasonic TRC-920]

Looks great Ira, nice see the 920 in Hi Res

Here is a pic of your pic of a pic!

 

[Ghettoboom767]

Hi Ira-! Way better quality!
But waiting for those female hotties photos!

Don't forget the turtles & the flying fish!!

Much better now Ira!
Have fun-GB.

 

[ford93]
