No, I don't know how to do that stuff.

No, I don't know how to do that stuff.

What type of camera are you using and how many megapixels is it? Maybe someone can give you a hand with your camera settings.

Quick camera question, the pictures have to be 1200 pix or higher. Well my cameras picture size is at 3.1 MP, is that big enough? ( im not sure if MP is the same as pixles )

My camer is 8 mg and it takes a picture 3200 wide so you might be okay. I have a photo book, I will try to look it up for you.

found this on the internet, that was faster than looking through my book "For example, a camera with an array of 2048 1536 sensor elements is
commonly said to have "3.1 megapixels""

So the answer is yes.

And for your reading pleasure: here is the entire article:

not a problem, I am not a photo shop professional, for you less technical photo people that is a high-end photo program, I use the dummy version microsoft digitial image suite.

I can't help but wonder why the 1200 megapixal is such a big deal, because on my program you can increas the megapixals on a photo or decrease, so I can take a 3220x2200 picture and crop a part out of it, that cropped part may end up being only 640x480 (for example) then I can go to image size on my program(referring to megapixal count) and increase that picture back a higher count. let's say I choose to do 2200x 1600. The program adjusts the ratios so all I need to do is add the first number and the second number is adjusted based on the overall shape of the photo.

A perfectly square photo would be 1200 x 1200 where a 4 x6 photo would be 1200 x 800 pixals.

So I guess someone that needs the picture size changed could e-mail it to me and I can adjust it for them.

The exception would be if the picture is very poor quality. low lighting and very grainer looking, my program isn't good enough to fix this.

for example I submitted this picture.

But the picture originally came from this photo. I cropped it, removed the does eartag, and then increased the pixals so it would beable to be used for the calendar. Again I am no expert and don't have the worlds greatest camera. Just sharing what a simple program for beginners can do to help your photos, if you aren't familiar with this.

Thanks for the imput / insight.

If you're willing to help folks out with their picture quality that's great.

I believe that the problem is that is it's lower to start with it'll get blurry / grainy / fuzzy when enlarged. If you're starting with a higher pixel and decrease and then increase again ...well...you still started with a better quality picture, right?

This is where the I am no expert part comes in. I don't beleive your theory is correct. Whe I crop a picture down I loose megapixals, If I where to try to enlarge it, it would look grainy. The only way it wouldn't look grainy is if I increased the megapixals using the computer program. But you are correct thinking that if the picture is originally lacking in megapixals and quality it would be very difficult if not impossible to improve on.

And i Imagine there is limits to the amount of cropping and increasing megapixals per photo.

Again no expert. I have a feeling there may people a couple silent experts on this website. That could answer that question better than I can.
