Always nice to see new pictures on the page

And Dave, this time you managed to add a new picture and leave the other member pictures alone. Well done

Thank YOU, especially for putting the photo up twice! (I THINK: I didn't know what size he was looking at, and when he resized it, it came out a bit blurred and distorted; this one looks better, as I shrunk it, so I think he redid it. If not, I'm losing my mind then

)

Actually, I'll eventually give a link to this photo when it's article that I wrote up (that it belongs to

) goes up, since it was from a gaming expo I went to last month. So you'll be able to see the details better, as the original photo's bigger and uncropped. (And for any Doom fans, yes, that's a Doom shirt I've got on!)

Hey Darryl! I posted your resized pic. I don't know why it turns out fuzzy when I resize pics. Maybe it's Paint Shop Pro?

Dave, why don't you try Irfanview for resizing pictures.. works great when I use it and often a lot better dan Paint Shop Pro

Dunno, never used that one before

Is that what you use?

No, I think ALL photo programs do that; when photos have to be resized a bit, they tend to distort...what I did was download the photo that you did to get the dimensions, then downsized the second photo as close as I could to the original (the height matched exactly, but not the width...or was that the other way around?

), since you can't do both height and width, they're on the same deal that you check off what you want to change. So I did that and hit Sharpen, and it worked.

Oh, and by the way, don't worry, I won't keep on redoing the photo, the last batch of photos I had taken of myself were in 1991, and even though I've aged over 10 years since then, I still look pretty much the same! (Well, except for growing that bar that connects the sides of my moustache, plus most of it's turned gray [which you can't tell by the photo].)

To mammaduck: holy crap, that's the program I was talking about...IrfanView!! That's what I use(d) all the time!

BTW, you look a bit like Julia Roberts in your photo, although with shorter hair.

Have you tried "Resampling" instead of "Resizing"? You may get better results.

robert@fm · 13 Jul 2004, 05:34 AM

I agree with Adrian.  To my mind "resize" is generally best used to resolve problems such as screen-shots from some 8-bit machine emulators, where to properly emulate the much lower resolution of the oriiginal computer, pixels are doubled (or perhaps tripled).  Resize (which simply drops surplus pixels) resolves this without aliasing, since the dropped pixels are the same colour as the adjacent retained ones.

Where adjacent pixels are not necessarily the same colour, "resample" is usually the better option, since it averages adjacent pixels and thus anti-aliases the new image.

darrylb · 13 Jul 2004, 06:20 AM

Resize/resample is the same on Irfanview, or at least the version I use (they've got a newer version now). And it cleared up the pic decently, so same difference.
