Hi Zeb,
Yes I was doing all of that, and the image size was reduced for file size, it just kept saying the upload file was full and to refer to a moderator! It can't just be me because Fitty was getting the same message and she is whizz at the techy stuff, you should see what she's done to the photograph since I sent her the higher resolution scan, - amazing.

The upload file size issue has now been addressed. You should have no problem putting pictures on now.

hi everyone,
Downloading various photo programs has been mentioned.But you should be able to find a computer magazine or camera magazine with an accompanying CD.
You can then download from a small choice [usually] If the magazine has the CD it will also have a few pages of
how to do it.
Read the magazine while you are in the shop, look at examples then decide if you are going to buy it or not.
Don't worry about making mistakes as there is an undo option.

If you want to get proper photographic copies done of any old photo that has been retouched make sure the image is scanned at a high resolution 300dpi - 400dpi. The image may look great on screen at 72 res but when you get it copied it will turn out very pixelly and blocky.
The higher the resolution the better quality the copy will be.
I thought youd want to know as yes like I said it looks great on screen then you get the proper copy done and your so disappointed in the poor quality
Another tip is save the file as 'tiff' file the quality is 100% better than a normal jpg, gif or bipmap
Have fun
Shanko
