    I want a digi photo to be used in a video or create a video of some of my pics, and I want the best resolution. I don't have to resize (larger and lose resolution), what should I do? Some of my pics look blurry and crappy when I add them to a video and watch on my TV, obviously its the way I took the picture in the first place. So what do I need to do to improve that?

    Digital Photo Resizer 2006

    The award winning Digital Photo Resizer quickly and accurately resizes a mass of photos at once ( JPGs, GIFs, PNGs, TIFs and BMPs ).

    One of the problems with many photographic software packages is that you cannot quickly resize many photos at once. This simple easy to use tool does it all for you in a couple steps. Just point DPRZ at the directory containing the images and press 'Resize'. DPRZ goes to work and produces a new directory of resized images leaving your originals untouched.

    Once you have resized your images, you can choose to package them as a slideshow, screensaver or have it automatically generate a website. It will also ZIP them up for emails.

    Digital Photo Resizer is widely used by both novice and professional photographers and photo labs.

    Come on and try one of the most popular digital photo resizing software tools available on the Net.

    It even creates thumbnail versions of the photos that are useful for web designers. And NEWLY added FTP Upload of generated websites and images.

    TIFF Support added in 2006 version. Plus many other user friendly enhancements.

    * SlideShow Generation
    * ScreenSaver Generation
    * Thumbnail Generation
    * Website Generation
    * ZIP File Packaging
    * Image Watermarking
    * Image Enhancement
    * FTP Upload of Images and Website
    cheers

    What exactly did you help with, besides pitching for the software. I mean does this software reduce the amount of distortion when you increase the size of the picture?

    i am not pitching the software,i only posted the facts of the software so that you can understand..as it works great for me to increase the size of some pixs..as in small pixs files you can not add pixels that are not there to increase the size..
    most of my pixs are 500k to over one meg..i use that program mostly to bring the pix size down.

    if that does not help you i know of no other way..to increase the file size with out distortion its up to you..

    Thanks for your suggestion, I was looking for a software that may have built in intelligence to perhaps add pixels as you increase a photo. So it makes sense to actually take the pictures at the largest size and best resolutions to begin with, is that so? I need some guidance photo taking that is later perhaps to be used as a still in a video movie.

    What is the picture size so that you can have thumbnails on your my.afterdawn account. Whenever I add a picture, it says "No Thumbnail Available" or something like that.

    Hey, you want your pictures to resize without pixelating? Have you tried Photoshop CS2? it resizes any picture from a postage stamp size upwards, and it doesn't pixelate.
    Also, it does a host of other things, like some blurred pictures it can sharpen up again.
    If you want to make a slideshow for you tv, I suggest you have a blank template sized 1024x768, then if you are using photoshop, hold down the shift key and drag a picture into it, it will center it exactly.
    I also use frames on my pictures, I bought the collection of classic frames from www.humansoftware.com they are brilliant, or you could download some freebies from adobe central, but these aren't a touch on classic frames.
    If you want a copy, contact me and we'll see what we can do.

    I would say to use the highest resolution all the time.
