Now we've got the whole digital camera thing happening, we have heaps of images that we need to resize, normally smaller.

Even things like shrinking them to avatar size, the images always get blurry.

So, q. is, whats a good tool to resize images downwards, is it possible to keep the images sharp?

Get a prgoram called ACDsee its great for resizing lots of images at once.

By reducing the resolution you are throwing away image data so your going to loose quality but the counter act this try using the least amount of compresion you can, the best method is just trail and error.

You should try using the demo on Paint shop Pro 7 or even MS Photo Editor.

Usually when shrinking images (the dimensions not the file size) they become sharper because you have the same amount of info in a smaller area, hence increasing the resolution. Usually this will not drop the file size by very much if at all.

The other way is to lose some quality, but because you have shrunk the dimensions down, again it shouldn't make a difference on the visable quality unless you zoom in. In fact many movies on the internet - think porn or drift :) - are in piss small dimensions, not because it saves on file size, but it allows them to chop out more data (that is what reduces the file size)without it affecting how it looks.

Basically if you have a semi decent program (there are many freeware and cheap ones out there), you shouldn't have a problem with resizing images. Try znet or cnet or download.com

Sorry to go on, probably more then you wanted, but anytime you need to be bored I'm your man.

Cheers,

Tim

Thanks for your help guys. I've downloaded ACDSee and will give that a whirl coz its named after australia's greatest band.

Yes, I was trying to reduce the resolution, not the actual size in bytes of the file, eg. to turn 640x480 into 100x100 for an avatar.

    • Hello First, I apologize if this is not the correct forum. Let me know and I will move it to the correct one. I'm having a problem with the tachometer on my Skyline R33 with an RB25DET Neo engine. I'll tell you from the beginning. I'll tell you from the beginning. I have the RB25DET Neo engine installed in a Nissan Patrol GU, with a Link G4X control unit specifically for that engine,  and I have fitted a Skyline R33 tachograph to the original GU dashboard, but it doesn't work properly. I have the tachometer connected to the positive and negative terminals of the GU panel's wiring, and the signal cable is connected directly to the ECU output pin, but the rpm fluctuates widely. Can anyone tell me if the output signal from an R33 ECU is the same as the output signal from an R34 ECU, or if the voltage and signal type are different? Regards and thanks.  
    • I guess it was the thought about "Oh if I were to drive this everyday". Then no, SL500 I wouldn't really consider lmao. 
    • Yeah actually really fair point. Idk what I was thinking when looking at the SL500. Now that I think about it, I feel like I would have more enjoyment out of a shitbox that I would need to repair than some fancy merc. Although I must admit the SL500 does look quite nice. My bad hahaha.
    • 100% Also "Not wanting to spend money" is THE WORST IDEA IMAGINABLE when coming to a project car of any kind. They EXIST to BURN MONEY. Sure, gas money is a thing. A stock car with the worst fuel economy ever sold would probably be cheaper than modifying a car with FREE petrol for the life of your ownership of it, lol.
    • Amount of time you're being observed by law enforcement is so minute, that you could be a dumb shit 90% of your driving time, and never lose a demerit. You could also be the best driver ever and still get hit with a fine.   When you realise how quickly everything turns from "Wee, we're having fun!" To "oh f**k oh f**k oh f**k", you start to realise the only way to be a good driver, is to not be doing anything dumb or unexpected by normies on the road. You want to go fast, go to the track. Someone there in a 1990s slow POS will also show you how bad of a driver you are as they lap 10 seconds per lap quicker than you can in a car that should be considerably faster.
