Resizing photo's

[alkscd]

I have a Relisys Dimera 3500 digital camera. Many time I take picture of items to put on the internet to sell. For some reason some pictures are to large and times they don't show. What can I do. The following programs I have may help ? paint shop, adobe photodeluxe 2.0, microsoft photo editor, frontpage and misrosoft image composer. Check out me web site,an you'll will see what I mean. goto Products. http://www.itemsabout.com
When you look a the site. The us bill is small because the other picture I have is to large. The frame???
and the other ones, I'm talking about are. Go to products look at Best freeware, How to make a $1,000,000, and Bonsai they are to large for the frame??? I must reduce size of the picture so all items are uniformed. Easy to read and see. I have the above programs maybe they will correct the problem. Thank you in advance

I've always used Adobe Photoshop to resize a photo. In Photoshop, you can indicate the exact size in inches or pixels you want.

Yes alkscd, you can use your photo editing software to resize those pictures to a good internet size. Mine has an automatic function called make web-ready, and I notice it brings them down the between 20-40k, whereas my originals seem to be 150-200k. Probably photoshop deluxe will do the job well. You open the program, pull up the picture you want to work on to the workspace an do whatever you want to it, resize, edit tnt, contrast, color, frames etc. The thing I do though because I still like to keep the original intack is after I edit my photos then I rename and save them to a different directory, which I keep all my pictures that I have downsized, so I know that the pictures in that directory are web and email ready, and the originals are kept just as they were from the camera in their original directory!! Hope this helps a bit!!

The only problem is after resizing the picture. It save's it as a Adobe photo deluxe file, not a jpeg of gip file.

I've never useed adobe, but I would think you could pick the file type to save as. I use Microsoft Picture It, and I can save as any type I want to. It will default to it's own, and warns me of the dire consequences of not saving as a .pix I think it is, but I know that is just M$ BS. I can save as jpg, gif, bmp etc.

Adobe photo Deluxe has an option to re-size pics and convert them from .pdd to .jpg. You should find it in the "send" option tab.

When you go to save the photo, choose 'save copy' instead of 'save' this will give you the option to save the photo in other formats aside from just the photoshop one, including jpg or jpeg.

Big difference between Photoshop and Photodeluxe, folks.

Why don't you try Irfanview? It's small and it's free, and it's capable of working with just about every standard format out there. Its editing tools are very basic, but that should be all you need to crop and resize something, adjust brightness and contrast and enhance colors, and convert to jpg or whatever. It has a TWAIN interface so you can scan directly into it. It doesn't have a wizard like Photodeluxe but a little experimentation should get you up to speed.
