Title: Help! Scanned to 600 but it's too big to attach!
Post by: 01debbie on Monday 27 November 06 09:58 GMT (UK)
Ok, I thought I was soooooo smart...followed Cazza's fantastic instructions...found the image is saved at 600dpi but it's over 1mb.  So back to Cazza's fantastic instructions, opened it in Microsoft digital image, have locked the dpi setting, but don't know what to do next!!!  ??? ??? ???

Is there anyone I can email it too for resizing please?  Ok, pretty please  ;)

Debbie

Hi Debbie,
              when I posted a humungous photo onto Rootschat,a kind moderator resized it,you could try that.

Rootschat won't accept an attachment over 500 kb though  :'(

Thanks for the idea!

Hi

Here it is. Adobe tells me it's now circa 480kb. I've resized but with as  high quality/little jpg compression as poss. It is about 1/2 size dimension wise of the original.

If any restorer wants the original, PM me with your e-mail addy and I'll send it on.

Thank you Gadget,

This pic is of my Mum & her twin sister.  I estimate it was taken in the summer of 1934.  If anyone could take the crease out & just tidy them up a bit, that would be great.  :D

Many thanks,

Debbie

Well they were cute back then...then they grew up  ;D ;D ;D

Seriously, yes they were & it's the only baby pic we have of them.  I asked my Mum which one was which but funnily enough, she couldn't remember having the pic taken  ;)  They will both be 73 in December & I thought I'd present them both with a framed, restored, copy. 

I'm sure they will both be as pleased as I am with the results of your work...looking forward to seeing Polldoll's too  ;)

Thank you Cazza & I hope you noted that I did almost get the resize & post thing right after reading your tutorial.  It certainly helped  8)

Hi Poll

I just sent you a pm.  Thank you, thank you, thank you...Love them all, especially the one with the little leafy things.   ;D

As for Max, you feel free to do whatever you like with him!! LOL...we have more pics of our gorgeous boy than anything else!!!  He was a rescue dog, but we got him through his breeders 2 years ago this Christmas...his Grandfather was the national show dog champion in Germany about 4 years ago now I think, so he's from 'posh' stock!!  But that doesn't stop him from molting all over the place & leaving mud everywhere!!   ;D ;D ;D

Thanks again Poll  :-*
