I have trouble uploading images. Some are scanned and saved on my computer. Others are taken from my new digital camera. When I save them, it is in JPEG format, but the image is either too large or too small. How do I set the resolution?
You've to use one of these Softwares :-)
Photoshop is expensive, but you can download PaintShopPro on the web for a 21 days try.
Another thing: with a numeric cam, you can choose the 1600x1200 like native size. Just what you need for caedes.net...
if you can't get up to 1600 x 1200 on your camera, i wouldn't recommend enlarging it, because there will ussually be a very signifant quality decrease. Photoshop is pretty good at it, but still it will look worse.
the smallest cameras sold now are 1.3 effective megapixels and output at 1280x1024. Digital images are usually pretty clean and there will be no noticable difference in enlarging them from 1600x1200. Even using nearest neighbor!
My camera is a 5.0 megapixel. It recommends taking pictures in 3.2 unless you plan on printing larger pictures. Still, when I transger them to my computer, then try to upload them on this site, the error message comes up and says it's too large for the site. If I decrease the size by 50 % it's still too large. If I go down to 25% it's too small!
bhaughton: you're right. 1600x1200 is not a normal mode on th Kodak CX7530. But I agree with Sam, it's easy to resize it with some basic softwares like Microsoft Paint.

You can resize I high res image by selecting the frame tool (usually a sliding rectangle thingy), then going up to the image size boxes (usually in scales of inches, centimters and pixels) and selecting pixels. Alternatively, you can resize the image under the filters drop down or image drop down menues. You can retain the 4 to 3 aspect ratio down to 1280X1024 or even 1152X864. Lower than that and the image starts to break apart on a full screen and resolution can be lost.
Good morning
A quick note regarding the image size in megabytes being too large. Was wondering whether it may be to do with the compression of the image, not the image size. Have noticed a reasonable reduction in megabytes for even a small increase in image compression, without any noticable loss in viewing quality.
