Newbie's Query

Paul, for newbies, digicam math seems to require an advanced math degree:-)

I feel that 4 x 5 size would be very convenient. When you talk about 750 x
600 pixel,
what mp should I set for cameras? Satoshi


No, really it's very simple math & I hate math. I don't know the size of
your 5MP images off hand but dpi is simply dots per inch if you want
mid-range 200dpi prints at 4x5 simply say 4x200 & 5x200 to get the size.

Can you tell us what MP settings your camera has?

Download irfanview at http://www.irfanview.com and download the plugins
too for lossless rotation. It's free and lightning fast. It will take a
little studying to learn how to batch reduce but it's worth it. Other
programs will do this & you probably got something with your camera but
this is the fastest. It's a little bit geeky with lots of options but
worth learning.


Once set up, it's as simple as typing "B" for batch, "add all", create a
new folder, move into that & chose to output into that & click "start" &
hit the escape key to dismiss the program & you are ready to go.

Default setting was 5mp. But it allows to change from 1 to 5 mp.
I am just learning.
In fact, film camera is a lot easier to handle than digital camera because
we do not have to worry about pixels, dpi and x by x size, etc. Digicam is
a pain. Satoshi

There is just one file on their site called "all-plugins.zip". When
installed you just type shift-j to rotate a picture permanently.

In the lower left while viewing a picture you should see the resolution
in pixels, simply divide each by 200 to find how big that prints in
inches. Even on your 1MP setting it's probably a bit too large for
emailing so you will need to resize so just use the 5MP setting.
