Sizing digital photos

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

Am shooting with an Olypmus D600-L. When I download a shot I want to retain I size it in Photo Deluxe 2.0 to my satisfaction then move it to my hard disc. Invariably when I e-mail the same photo to someone it arrives is such a large format that the receipient must scroll up, down and sideways to view the entire shot. Why does this happen?? When I go back to my file copy and open it in place it is exactly the size I want.

Several reasons for this..first..did u "save as" your picture and name it? That is one thing I did at first..u must use "save as" and use jpg after u resize ur pic..also when resizing..depending on which app u are using..be sure to check "keep proportion size" when u do resize. That has to be the reason..I have photodeluxe too..and it works fine for me when i resize. Any help I can be..just let me know..also a good size for sending email is 500x400 or 400x300. good luck!
