If a family member ask to see some of your pictures, but they want you to burn the pictures to a CD, so they can look at the CD on their own time. Would you burn the CD for them? Knowing this person also likes to email pictures to other people, whom those people will forward the email and so on.

Hi TheMailman {up}

Sorry I couldn't find a better one, but yours isn't too bad as it is. You should get a pretty decent 5x7 from that.

The only other half decent pic I found was: [img]http://ofoulon.free.fr/data/le%20film/wallpaper/x2_pyro_1024.jpg[/img]

Sorry!

I look for large sized images on Google Images. They turn out pretty good for 4X6's. For 6X8's, wallpapers are the best. I don't send out 8X10's.

[quote="FatimaDenmark"]The software you posted Stephan looks cool. I personally use Photo Impact XL.

Thanks Fatima, you'll like it very much once you get used to it since it's the best organizer when you have lots of photos on your HD.

You can also share your photos with friends though Picasa without sending anything by e-mail. Your friends can simply download photos from your HD that you like them to download.

And last but not least there's the Picasa Photo Album. I'm currently using it as Beta version, but I don't know if you can already access it as free users. Google asked me to test it, that's why I'm having it.

Best,
Stephan

[quote="TheCollector"]I haven't personally used the software R.S.V.P was taking about, but since it's free I would give it a try :wink:

Which picture are you trying to improve? If you give me an idea I *might* be able to locate a better copy for you :)

Well, Google Picasa is basicly the best organizer when you have thousands of HQ photos on your HD. What Google Picasa offers is to resize photos of any size to a 3x5, 5x7 and 8x10 size when you want your photos to be printed through your online photo labotary.

If you really want to work with photos and graphics I'd recommand Photoshop which I am using.

Best,
Stephan

Well I reduced the size of a photo on Picture Manager and the quality reduced so do I need that program?

Thanks alot Ian

Hi TheMailman {up}

Basically, when you talk about pixels you are referring to an on-screen version of the picture. When you are talking about printing it is then that the DPI (Dots Per Inch) becomes more important.

Yes, the printed picture detail will improve as you reduce the size of the picture (as you will be cramming the same number of on-screen pixels (or printed dots) into a smaller space. Conversely if you enlarge the picture the detail will decrease as the same amount of dots will have to cover a bigger space.

You can achieve the same thing using any decent photo manipulation software such as the kind that comes with scanners or digital cameras.

I personally use Photoshop for changing my photos, but it is pretty pricey. Realistically though, you can do the same thing with Microsoft Image Composer, or any other budget package.

Hope this helps!
