Bruce, I owe it all to you!

Hmmm...is it a coincidence that the test picture is a big block Chevelle?

I'm guessing your sizing your pics 800x600 pixels......can you pass on any other editing basics .....I bought PhotoShop Elements 3.0 , but am still using PhotoDeLuxe....

I use ArcSoft Photo Studio 5 for most quick stuff like the pics I put on here, for work I use Photoshop with the zillion layers...ArcSoft comes with many programs and new computers and is really easy to learn and use..If you have it just give it a shot....

Chuck, one tip is to keep the image size below 100 dots-per-inch (dpi) and I used 72 dpi when editing with my ArcSoft Photo Studio 5 photo software. With my Seattle Camaro show photos I went with an 800x600 pixel size so as to keep as much detail as possible and then 72 dpi so it would use up as little space as possible. I think the typical computer monitor is in the 50 dpi range anyway so you won't lose any image quality by lowering the dpi count down below 100 dpi.

I shoot my pictures in a large size (on my digital camera) and then when I edit them with ArcSoft I resize them down to about 800x600 and 100 or less dpi. The larger original image captured by the camera allows for printing the images in larger sizes to reveal all the detail possible, if desired. My camera, a Sony Cyber-shot 5.1 Mega Pixel with 3x optical zoom, shoots in a VGA/e-mail size, then up to 1M, 3M, 3:2, and 5M. I shot the show photos in 1M size, download them, then resize to 800x600 for posting and making prints. I e-mail my photos to Costco and go pick up prints an hour or two later.

Clear as mud?

Somebody else please chime-in, the above is just my technique and there is probably an easier way!

I have a 5 megapixel camera...and I shoot the car pictures at 1M...download them into my computer via the USB cable in to an already created and named folder...then I create a thumbnail folder and open up EZ Thumbs software...it's free and available here : EZ thumbs Version 2.8 free software home page

EZ Thumbs software Version 2.8 executable file

It's an easy program to use...and you can batch process your photos...It will process about 50 pictures that were taken at 1M in less than a minute. You can set your DPI image size, etc. and see the preview of what it will look like in real time, in the preview window. It also has brightness and contrast settings that work in real time also. If you hover your mouse over the picture preview...it will also tell you the file size, so that you can make adjustments to the resolution so that it can be uploaded to the Y-Net without any problems.

You can't beat the price...it's free!

If you'd like, I can send you a simple tutorial that I made up regarding the program...when I get home tonight.
