Mazimbwe Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 QUOTE (NEMO @ Sep 22nd 2004 @ 08:04 ) Any advice would be appreciated. My advice would be to re-size the pics first. I use this great little program, that is freeware if I remember right, called "JPEG ReSizer"...works realy well and is dead simple. p.s. Great looking A.comp...go with the first Pic, IMO.

BlakeyBoyR Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I just use Microsoft Paint If you use windows, then you already have it! Simply go to accesories in your start menu, then click on "paint. Open up your photo, click on the "image" menu at the top of the screen, then click "stretch/skew" and you can edit what percentage of its original size you'd like your photo to be. In other words, if you want it to be half as big, you's stretch/skew it by 50%, if you wanted it twice as big, it'd be 200% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiona Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Here's your pics. The dark one is grainy because being underexposed, you were lacking some picture info. The main problem with the pic size was that when you scanned them (I am assuming they are scanned because of all the white space around them) you did not crop to the picture area, and so all the white is included also. Another problem was resolution. Screen resolution is 72dpi and the pics were 96dpi. This is not such a bad thing but it is best to use screen res if you are showing it on a screen. BTW for printing in colour the minimum res is the maximum res for the printer that will be printing, eg. for commercial jobs this is normally 300dpi. I have adjusted the resolution of these pics. For those that are interested, I used Adobe Photoshop. I used the "crop" command to get rid of all the excess white space, the "levels" command to get the tones better, the "unsharp mask" to make it clearer, and the "image size" to fix the resolution. To save them to your computer, right click each one and choose the save as option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
