What's the reserve?

Re: Photo Test

Steve -

1. You can send the column to me - I'll pay shipping

2. If you re-size your images to 640x480 (or shoot them at that resolution to begin with), they won't require horizontal scrolling.

Photo resolution; 640 x 480 vs. 2100 x 1500

Steve,

Just don't shoot images at 640 x 480 if you plan on including them with an article in the Restorer. I just learned this the hard way. The new Restorer editor wants all photos shot at a minimum of 2100 x 1500 if they are to appear in the Restorer. My (now-obsolete) 1.3 MegaPixel digital camera didn't even have a setting that would get me close to 2100 x 1500 resolution.

But for web viewing, 640x480 is fine, just as John H. says.

Gary,
Is it possible to save pictures that are 1600x1200 to 640x480? I know pictures I have posted here in the past require the horizontal scrolling.
Thanks Frank

I would really want to know why....the need for 2100x1500 unless you are a radiologist...this is not correct. for standard print.

Re: Photo Test

The reserve on the column is $100,000 and you get the car for free......

Re: Photo Test

I took this photo awhile back. I take all my photos in anticipation of printing for my restoration documentation. I might be able to reduce 'em in a photo editor.....

Re: Photo Test

This one is 640X480. Better???

Photo resolution; 2100 x 1500

William,

I'm just the messenger about the 2100 x 1500. Maybe the editor want's the Restorer photos to look crisper? I can't think of any other reason. I guess it gives the editor more flexibility in the size that can be printed, but I'm just guessing.

Converting 1600x1200 to 640 x 480

Frank,

Once the photo is taken at a given resolution, I don't think you can change the size of that image on the camera, but I may be wrong about this. However, once you upload the image to a computer, then the resolution can be reduced. I use Adobe Photoshop which gives one great control over many aspects of the photo. However, I don't think photo resolution can be increased above what it was shot at, like we're led to believe the pros can do on the CSI and NCIS TV shows. At least I haven't found any software that will do this.

I suspect there is some freeware for PCs that can do what you want if you don't want to buy something like Photoshop, which is expensive.

Yep and the detail remains.
