I was out joy riding to Bedford, Pa and on the way home I took the Lincoln Highway and had to do a doubletake. I just had to take this.

I guess they don't have enough room to put the "2" in front.

Is anyone else having a problem seeing that at all? Mine is really dark and I can't read a thing on it.

[madjack]

...same here Ira...pic is too large and too dark............................................

Ditto.

Thats weird, I resized it to 50% and compressed it as well. I have to work more on this picture stuff.

I wish fuel was under a dollar again. Last year we spent $32,000 on fuel and this year we have already spent over $18,000. It's killing us.

For me, it is usually easier to resize it by pixel count, 640X480. Then I compress it by file size ~50K

Depending on the program you're using, when you resize it, you have to have "Resample Image" checked. (If you have that as an option. AGain, it depends on your program.)

Otherwise, it will make the file's "dimensions" smaller, but it will increase the "resolution" at the same time, when it shouldn't.

This makes the image "functionally" larger for web use, because the web can't make these distinctions and the correct adjustments for you.

Web images have to be 72dpi. So a 4" wide image for the web at 72dpi is about 4" wide. The same 4" wide image at 300dpi will be 16" wide when someone sees it!!!

Yours was 19" wide! Here it is resized to 8", and I tried to lighten it for legibility.

a 2? Here it would need a 3. *(#$&%*@)@ greedy #&*@)_!*#&%$&*(%#

Thanks IRA This station has been closed for some time but was a fun shot to photograph.

I was confused on resizing pictures untill I found a place in my camara program to email the pictures. I just email them to myself and when it does, it asks if I want them resized for easyer mailing and reciving. I just answer yes and it is all taken care of for me. Then I open attachments in email and save as.

yeah I really hate the gas prices like that. what a messed up government. Do you know that we have a pretty good chance of having many of the cars converted to ethanol gas use(or something, i'm not sure of the name) which are made from wheats and similar stuffs such as corn. The only barrier really is the tariff. the government have set a 100% tariff on such a product from oversea and 0% on gas.

I saw a show talking about the energy crisis on the discovery channel and I only remember 1 part of that show which is what I've just explained above.

Yep...but a lot of people don't realize that 72dpi is about an inch, so they can't make the calculation in their head that 640X480 is about 9" by 6 1/2".
