Thats what I was worried about, so it did compress the size? I was thinking of getting lightroom five or photoshop Elements, which one do u think is better?

I am going to lighten up pictures, sharpen, make vivid in some etc. Which version would be better? Thanks.

Hi I would like to go but seeing as I live in Salisbury I dont see how this is going to be possible, as I don't drive.

Hi I am thinking of downloading this to enhance my photoes before printing them for display. The only thing that worries me is if the image resolution will b compressed,so that I cant have my finished product enlarged without noise showing.

How can I get round this please? Thanks.

Hi I am using fast stone at present. In the edit tab I click on set DPI and at the moment I have been putting 240-300. Is this the right size to put please?

Thanks for your kind replies, I will reshoot the light pods and the ice rink in Bournemouth before it gets too cold. I think you can also lock the card, a I right?

Got the disk back from the shop, half of them couldn't be saved as the person who did it said a lot of the files have corrupted. I had a chance to show some of my work to a church of the Christmas tree festival, now it's been taken away from me (as is per usual) and I now have nothing. A lot of the photo's are obscured by a grey blank screen with only a slither showing at the top, I might of well have saved myself £15, and not bothered with it at all.

It may not be a big deal to some people, but it is to me. A lot I can take again but it's things like a sunset, and something which only happens once a year. My life seems nothig but full of disapointing set backs at the moment. Really depressed I should never have taken the camera to her, and this would never have happened.

I'd like David Tennent to pass bye, har har!

I am using Fast Stone at the moment and I found where I can change the DPI, so I have been putting 240-300: is that right or should I be putting something else?

According to the printers when looking on the memory stick, they were 72dpi. The size on the disk when I clicked on properties is 156 KB (159,828 bytes) what ever that means.

A4 or equivalent. But according to the size it was, I had to have it smaller.

I tried to work on a file through Gimp, I pressed save as and tried to grab the file through Picassa but it said the file was obtainaible. When I go to the file in my documents itkeeps loading up Gimp instead of the picture. can you tellme what I am doing wrong?

I'm experiementing with Fast Stone at the moment.

Thanks for your kind replies

is that in the camera, and how do I get to that? I got into a bit of a panic last night as I thought I had lost everything, I went round castle cameras this morning and apparently they have recovered 500 images! I didn't know I had taken that many, going to cost me £15 to have it put on disk apparently.

Thanks for the link Aero thats very useful.

She still works with film and has a Hasselblad camera.
