Solved the problem of putting photos on page

Hi littleowl

Great photo, glad you can now upload your photo's

Try clicking on photo, you can zoom in, this works on most photo's on this site.

then when done click the back button.

Hi Littleowl

Co-incidentally this morning I put some tips about how I save photos of different sizes so that they upload to forums quickly in the post 'How Busy Are Your Gardens & Feeders' in the Homes for Wildlife forum:

This is how your male Blue Tit looks after I increased the dpi then cropped and reduced it:

Hi Janet

Thanks for that tip. I didn't realise that was the case at all

Best wishes Chris

Hi Woodpecker,

Yeah if you double click on Littleowl's pic you get very close up.

do one click at a time :-)

Hi Woodpecker

As a matter of interest, when you increase the dpi of an image do you use the resample option or do you link all  the changes so that the original image is not altered?  I do something similar (albeit using Photoshop Elements) but have resisted using the resample option. Your enlargement of the blue tit is pretty impressive.

Hi TeeJay

On that one yes I did use the resample option, but I don't maintain the original print size so it can become bigger. I do lock the aspect ratio and resize all layers.

I think I have a copy of Photoshop Elements but I'm not that techie enough to do all of the things in there. With PSP I can do enough for my purposes.

 I have photoshop elements, but really don't know how to use it well.  Is paint shop simpler.  

Hi Bramble

I'm completely baffled too. I only use mine to do these bit's and pieces. I can't manipulate pics or cut out one item and add it to another items background or anything that complicated.

HI, 

It does come with a very large manual, but just don't have time to read it.  I have managed to use cloning tool to block things out, but that's about it,

Better keep at it i suppose

You are all very knowledgeable with paintshop and photshop etc.  I have photoshop elements, but really don't know how to use it well.  Is paint shop simpler.  

My daugther is doing photography A level and is learning about the full photoshop so hopefully she will pass on some knowledge.  the only time i looked at that though i was completely baffled!!!

Hi Bramble

I think Paint Shop Pro (PSP) and Photoshop Elements (PSE) are very similar in terms of what they can do and price. I have both but generally speaking I use PSE simply because I have put the time and effort into trying to get the best out of it. They both have some fairly sophisticated features but equally they can do the simple things like adjusting brightness, contrast and sharpening with automated keystrokes which don't require you to have any in depth knowledge. However, with all these software packages there is a steep learning curve and there is no substitute for putting in the time to get to grips with them.

I suppose that if you've already got PSE and your daughter is using the professional Photoshop package at school then PSE might be the better bet for you because it inherits many of the features that the full package has and that your daughter will be familiar with. Good luck.
