I had problems with the e-mail account I used to register for this site. I can no longer access that e-mail account. I’d like to change my e-mail address in my profile but I have no idea how to go about doing it?
Hey Avalon,
I have the same dilemma. Where to ask THIS question?. LF seems to have solved your problem so this slight hijack shouldn’t be too painful. I would like to know if a computer stores photos at the resolution in which they were taken. The reason I need to know is that I would like to blow up an Image I have stored. It was taken at 6 mp and I need to blow it up BIG.
Marco, just make sure that if you scale down the image size for posting on the internet, you do a “save AS” with another file name, or you will overwrite it with the new small picture. I always keep the same name file, and add a “_small” or “_web” to the file name. DAN
Hey Betty and Danbob,
Thank you for your responses which were also confirmed via some pm’s from members.
Yes Betty, I also think it’s a cool photo. Happened by accident of course, of a cutt I caught in the Snake River near Flagg Ranch , Grand Teton NP two weeks ago.
Do not try and edit your email in your profile yourself…I made that mistake a couple years back and it reaked havoc for JC and LF…Your email is the basis of your whole account…I have also recently asked for an email change and JC took care of it swiftly and surely as always…Thanks again LF and JC!
Marco:
It depends how you have your computer set up and what program you are using, but yes, most programs download a photo at the same size it is stored in your camera - for example, a 6 mp photo is stored as a 6mp in your computer (unless, as stated, you have your computer set up differently). A 6mp photo can be blown up to a fairly good sized photo, though if you really want to blow it up big (say 20x30 or larger) my recommendation (for what its worth) is to use a photo lab. While this can be costly, it can also be relatively cheap at some of the online labs such as elcocolor.com ($9.95 for 20x30 on their internet special) or mpix.com - both of which do a fine job for a fair price you are not likely to match a local lab, I assume because of their quantity of work. I don’t work for them or have anything to do with these companies, just like the results and they have good reviews for the most part on the internet. They pay for and use interpolation software which upsizes an image much better than most programs you would be using on your own home computer.
