[SmokeTheFunk]

software that i can get for free or download off of a filesharing place? i have microsoft photodraw but when i resize pics they go fuzzy. i had a prog that i borrowed of off a friend, i cant remember what it was called but it never caused the fuzzy problem. i'm after something easy to use

thanks

Depends how legit you wanna go.

If you have speed and time, you can download Photoshop, which is king. (however, it can be a litte complicated)

If you are trying to resize a JPG, that may be the problem. Try converting to a BMP and then resizing. Once resized, then convert back to JPG.

But it really all does depend on the resolution the photo was taken in, in the first place. If a photo was taken in 320x240 and you try to resize it to 1024x768 for instance, then it will be fuzzy as hell no matter what.

PhotoShop is indeed king of the hill. But if you want to try something similar, but less complicated, give PaintShop Pro a try. Get the trial version at http://www.jasc.com or try the demo of PhotoShop at http://www.adobe.com

I always used a free program called vuepro. It works great for resizing/cropping/lightening/converting. It can also install vueicons on your PC so when you look a ta folder and pics will show up as tiny icons of that picture so you can see them all at a glance

www.shareware.com has all that stuff

Hi smoky Baby!!!!!!!

When you do a resize you have to apply a sharpen afterward, it will remove the fuzzyness. Usually the "sharpen" feature is located in "effects" or "plugins".

If you want to know more just PM me

thanks everyone

i did try paintshop pro for a little while - i didnt really get on with it, maybe its someworth sticking with. im going to try converting it to bmp first then changing it back to jpg and have a look at vuepro - i had a simple to use prog that just had the basics and it was all i needed - this sounds the same sort of thing.

hi deja ! *blows you a kiss*

thanks
