How do you resize pictures??

[turbobuickman]

My digital camera takes mega huge pictures and their all too big to use for anything....how do I go about resizing them? Ive tried using arcsoft photoimpression 4 but after I alter the image, it can only be viewed in that program . How does everyone do it?

Thanks

Check camera settings first...

Check on your camera's menu - there should be a setting you can change to adjust the pixel size of the pics you take. The higher the pixel number, the larger the pic. There may also be a resolution setting that will determine the quality of each pic, the higher the res the better the quality of the pic but you will get less pics per usage because it takes more memory for higher res. IF you're taking pics you may want to enlarge, higher res is better but not always.

As far as changing the pic size AFTER you've downloaded them from the camera, use a photo editing program like Adobe's Photoshop. Most likely, you got some photo editing software with the camera unless it is a really low priced one (didn't want to say 'cheap' ).

Anyhow, in the software for the photo editing, you simply choose which picture from the downloaded pic folder you want to work on, select "Image Size" (or whatever the software describes) and adjust from there.

It's really not hard at all - you just need to use the appropriate software and I'm wagering you have already got it with the camera. It should be on a disc included in the camera outfit.

72 DPI is about what your gonna need. I think most defer to 300. Way to large to send.. Also see if the program your using can change the format to a .jpeg or .bmp
...AWWW I just looked! I have the same program...It does have a resize option. Click on 'edit" and do your changes. Then save it as one of the formats above...
