After Picasa edit I drag it out to desktop & retain original size. I can e-mail up to 10 meg with Comcast. Yes If you use Picasa to e-mail it really reduces size
That's what my Picasa looks like. I am a little ashamed to admit I use it in this forum. It does a very good job. I try to only use Picnik when it is really necessary. I tend to over do it sometimes in Picnik. I like Picasa because it opens raw photos too.
These are my rest subjects. Before comments I know there is noise in it. working on it.
Thanks all. Software is a must but I have to get at least a 400mm zoom or the cropping will continue to be the problem. Moving subject closer is near impossible.
I have had some folks mention noise in my photos but most of this is due to the massive cropping. The focus is absolutly critical. I'm looking forward to learnig a lot here.
The dark issue was my fault. Picasa edit looked closer to you'rs. I like what you did with it. To take an 18 meg raw shot & immediatly crop to between 500KB & 1mg. THEN start to edit it. Any thoughts on a 28 to 400mm zoom?
This would reduce the major cropping. I bought it at Costco & can return it(Canon 60D with EFS 18-200MM 1:.3.5/5.6)
Any thoughts on the 60D? Do you know anything about the new model that just came out?
Thanks for your edit & suggestions.
Whole lot of thinking to do.
I'm sure glad i joined Hedgehog!
I have down loaded some of the free stuff.
I am willing to pay several hundred dollars.
I saw a video of Photoshop. You can do some really amazing stuff with it. The demo was a horse & editing the maine & tail. Very tricky. I'm not a penny wise pound foolish guy. You really do get what you pay for.
Thanks,
This is a never ending learning curve.
Also, what is PP? I am new here.
Yes, Always interested! My problem is the having to use all of the 200mm. I'm croping a finger nail out of the total shot.
I will now learn how to use Gimp.
Thanks to all who made suggestions.
I unchecked all the junk.
Thanks,
I will give it try.
