Yote,
Turn the pixels UP. You want MAXIMUM pixels and resolution. More dots per inch equates to finer detail. You want maximum detail in the pics. Detail comes from lots and lots of pixels. They will be HUGE files, but thats okay for now.
When you have the pics all put into your hard drive on the 'puter, just resize them. When you shrink the pictures they will loose pixels and overall file sizes will be reduced, but there will be very little degradation in the quality of the pic.
Same thing if you're using a regular old 35mm film camera. If you want to take poster quality pictures that you plan to blow up real big --- like 24 x 36 posters for hanging on the wall. You want maximum detail so when you blow it up it's not grainy or fuzzy. So in that situation, you'd use 1600 speed film.
For instance:
400 speed will stop a greyhound at full speed as he crosses the finish line. 400 speed will stop him dead in his tracks but everything behind him will be a blur (if you set up the ISO, F Stops and shutter speed correctly). 1600 speed pics of your wife in her sexiest bikini will blow up to a nice 48" x 60" pic for the wall in the shop. :mrgreen:
Same thing with a digital camera. Use the high pixel settings to get all the details and fine quality of a larger pic. Then when you shrink them they will not get blurry or fuzzy.
You don't have to download anything to resize a picture. Put your mouse on the pic and right click on it. There will be a little window that pops up. Scroll to RESIZE and click there. Then you select the size you want. It's easy.
I take pics in groups. Nobody takes just one pic of the tank. So, take your pics and upload them to your hard drive. Make a folder for them and name it. Now open the folder and left click the first pic ONCE. That way it's just highlighted. Now hold the SHIFT button down and use the ARROW keys to scroll all the way across. All the pics will be highlighted. Now right click the first pic and resize it. All of them will get resized. All at the same time.
