Great to here and alway save-as or work on copies and you will get better at it after playing around with it.

brendandonhu,

I have the Digital Picture Enhancer that is part of the Photo-Brush so I have the undo and the save-as options.
I don't know what all you get in the stand alone Digital Picture Enhancer in how it saves and that but if you don't have a save-as then always make a copy first.

Post the cat picture up in the "Everyone Can Display An Image!!!" thread and I will see what I can do with it.

Thanks but you dont need to do that. It has a Save As option, but I saved over the original and it looked pretty bad. I still have the original of the photo on my camera memory.

Best to never compress your images in .jpg also.

JPG works for me! I have 200 megs of compressed photos in the format and I burn CDs of them every month or so. IM just trying to keep it small, although when I have an important picture, like of my 2nd cousins baptism im printing, I use TIFF.

Well, guys, I'm kinda dumb about graphics - digital or otherwise - but I would like to have two (free) utilities. If anyone has a suggestion, I need...
1) An editor to trim mpg's (like the one for mp3's above)
2) A utility where I can "grab" a pixel and get the fully converted color value (to use in other places so I don't have to muck around with trying to find a similar "custom color")

I currently use LViewPro (old version, I don't like the newer ones); Irfanview; Firehand Ember (bought it); and, occasionally MSPaint (when I need to diddle with pixels)

Any ideas ? ............... TIA !!!

Hey it sounds like you know what your doing then.
Yes tiff is a great format but it can get very very big on you so you have to pick what format you want.

Yes, there, big, so I keep backups of all my TIFFs and important pics on CDs and free web hosts so I dont worry about disc space. And slithy it sounds like youve got everything you need!

I mean make a web page of them, and maybe post a link instead of 100 pictures. I see it in your eyes, you dont think its such a great idea to upload them all to TSG, the poor little servers.

No making you own web page would be great.
But if you want to post them here it is ok but do it in the other forum.

Actually it would take me about 4 hours to attach all those files! I was thinking upload em to my ISPs personal web page, and just put in some thumbnails you can click for enlargment. All I need to use is a few free javascripts. Maybe Ill even scan my collection 250 paint chips.
