Froggiegirl, You can send them to me and I'll resize them for you. (No ulterior motive just cause I've got an update tonight ) Just teasing, you can PM them to me and I'd be happy to do it for you.

froggiegirl, you can always download Infranview. this is a free little program that resizes, edits and a few other things.

Froggiegirl, I highly recommend irfanview. It is a small photo editing program but it does a LOT of stuff.

Thanks guys, but I really like MyImager...point being I can actually use it. I'm very technologically challenged. I'll keep that other program in mind though for the next time MyImager goes down.

Suits, they might be too big. Right click on the photo, and choose Properties. Check to see how many Kb the photo is. I think you want it under 60 Kb for posting.

When you are re-sizing, you want the width to be between about 450-600 pixels.

Newbie resizer here. When I downsize some photos, they end up becoming a larger file than the original. How is that possible?

Lumbele, you must be saving them at very high resolution or quality. If you are just resizing to post the photos or send them in e-mail, save them in one of the lowest qualities. You won't be able to tell the quality on a computer monitor.

Rule of thumb is if you are saving them to print, save at high quality; saving for e-mail or posting, save at low quality.

It should work fine. Be sure to use resample (Photoshop you would use bicubic, but with Irfanview you would probably use Lanczos). I always sharpen after resizing as well, but it should look pretty good anyway. What did you have the DPI set to?

also, the picture is so tiny, i find that if i just resize with irfanview and keep the dpi at 75dpi (the internet can't show anything larger than that). also tvch can accept pictures as large as 600x600 and i found that around the 400x400 range isn't too large for most people.

Actually, I can’t believe that I even asked the question about DPI.

This confuses a lot of people but DPI only really matters when printing. DPI is totally irrelevant to the size of the image displayed on the monitor (or the size of the file). All that matters is the number of pixels. So if you resample the image down to say 400 pixels wide (using bicubic or lanczos) it should work fine.

Ok, photo geniuses......I am going to torment you for a while! Here's my current issue:

I just purchased A Canon PowerShot G6 (love it!) and am ok with resizing photos (see my folder), but my beloved doggies have Green Eyes. How can I fix it so they have beautiful brown eyes like they do in real life?

Any help would be appreciated!

With respect to fixing eyes on pets that show reflected flash, the standard automated red-eye fixes that many programs offer, do not work.

So to get that lovely brown back in your doggies’ eyes, you can manually select the eyes with a selection tool and then change the color back to brown. Let us know what image editing program you’re using and maybe we can give you more specific help.

Of course the best way to fix this is not to have to fix it at all, so if you were to use an external flash, that would help a lot (you have a G6 right?).

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean that you have a lot of empty white space around the main subject?

The first thing I would do is make a copy so you can always go back to the original if you make a mistake or change your mind.

Then I guess you would want to crop the image to get rid of the empty space. Is that what you want to do?

What image editor are you using?

Littlec, same thing Jimmer said, except in different terms. See if you can draw a box around just the part of the image you want to show. Then try right clicking and see if it brings up a menu to crop. If so, choose Crop, and it will cut off the white part. If right clicking doesn't work, draw your box and then go up to Edit or maybe Image and look for a Crop command. Whenever you find Crop, that is what you want to select. It will cut off the parts outside the box you drew.

Then Save As.

Yep, Littlec, you need to crop that photo.

There is a nice little photo editing program free for download at www.irfanview.com. The directions I gave for drawing a box and cropping it would work with that program. Plus, some people here use it, and could probably answer most of your questions on using it as they arise.

Here it is cropped. Let us know if you need further help. Irfanview is a great little free program (though I used PhotoShop to do this).
