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.

      Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      By Lithium · Posted

      I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.

      Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.

      And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?

      Hr34 fuel pump not turning on

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
