Well presented- but surely your pictures can be better quality than that?

 

[duffarama]

Thanks Brad, but sorry about the images.
I tried to make the 'Mott sweeping for four' a good pic...

Oh well, at least I am trying.

From Duffarama.

 

[brad352]

What do you use to compress them?

 

[duffarama]

I use 'Irfanview.'
It is a pretty crap program if you ask me.

 

[brad352]

Never heard of it, why not just get Photoshop?

 

[m_vaughan]

pics arent bad at all...you just need to resize them proportionately (for example if you decrease height by 50% then you must decrease width by the same percentage)

 

[duffarama]

I do decrease the height and width by 50% each, but when it compresses them, the images lose quality... I don't know why.

Is it really worth it getting photoshop?

 

[m_vaughan]

yes photoshop is a household name

 

[brad352]

Yeah, permanant trial versions don't cost a lot

 

[duffarama]

Is it made by Jasc Software? If it is, I have the program.

 

[brad352]

That's Paint Shop Pro- Photoshop is Adobe

 

[Jarryd]

And the secret is? My skycam will kick its can anyway.
