Sunset / sunrise pictures

[rabster]

Looking at it again mate, I'm inklined to think the crop is OK but leave the colour as per original?

Agreed .

 

Nursejudy - I think your sunsets shots are terrific, I love the Pimlico Farm one.

Not really sunset yet but it did give that feeling.

 

Some shots Jan took with a fair-not-good digital camera a few years ago when we were fishing a tidal river. The trees are bald cypress that love to grow feet-wet but often don't survive the after-effects of a hurricane and the resulting salt water that is pushed up river and the gunk that is washed from the surrounding swamp area.

Have to admit the 1st of the 3 is my favorite. The camera was a small point and shoot but I still managed to get a few good shots off. The trees do appear to die quickly when they go - don't they????

i cant post any ,the file opened in psp7 is 35mb as soon as i try making the pic smaller it loses all the fine detail and shades of colour

strangely unopened the pic is 4.8mb

making them less than the 100k makes them look like crap

Anyone who's been paying attention will have seen these already, they are fairly recent, but there may be some who've not seen them and so I might as well include them here.

How come your pictures are so big in the first place chesters? I seem to remember you've had this problem before.

 

Even at roughly 2000 X1500 pixels mine only come out of the camera at about 2000kb maximum. So what's different?

[chesters1]

mine are 4048 x 3040

opened their 56" x 42" at 72dpi

even CS says their 35.2mb files

Try the following in CS Chesters

 

1. Open the pic, then go to Image/Image Size and in the box that opens change the largeest dimension of the two top boxes to "700", make sure the 3 tickboxes at the bottom of this have their ticks in there and click okay.

 

2. Click File/Save As and in the new box that opens enter a name for the file lets say "test" and in the format dropdown choose "jpeg" and then click OK.

 

3. A Jpeg options box will open up with a slider in the middle, move this to the left and watch your file size drop at the bottom of the box, when its down to approx 120kb hit OK, use photobucket to upload the shot too and let us see it.

 

Alternatively you can zip up the unopened file and upload that to a webspace so we can play with it and see if we can find out whats happening for you.
