| 361489 | 2005-06-06 06:52:00 | Glad you like the JPEGcrops Foxy. Re the DPI Rob mentioned. This determines the quality of the print. 300dpi is considered excellent. 200dpi is not too bad, but avoid less than that. The useful thing in JPEGcrops is that at the lower right of the window, it displays the crop pixel size, and the resulting DPI for the crop you select at the print size you choose. As you vary the crop size, the dpi changes. It shows 300 or more in green, and 200 or less in yellow. This gives you an indication if an image will print satisfactorily at 6x4 or larger sizes. |

| 361491 | 2005-06-06 11:18:00 | Anyway Foxy, why dont you print pics at home? Thats what I do. Very immediate, & satisfying. Grab a Canon printer. Very highly recommended, & excellent results. I'm sure you'll be very pleased "doing it yourself" | Bazza (407) | ||

I'm sure you'll be very pleased "doing it yourself" Yes, I have thought about it and have been under pressure to do so at times but I think the fact that it has taken me nearly two and a half years to get my first prints done says it all. Viewing the pics full screen on my 17" LCD monitor is far better to me than having albums full of little prints cluttering up the cupboards. Not only can you see much more detail but they don't take up any room. To me that is the best part of having a digital camera and a computer to view them on. :) The only reason I got these ones printed was because The Boss wanted a few of his own pics done and I sneaked in half a dozen of my own. I am the sort of person who likes to keep three or four favourite photos displayed for years on end rather than regularly replace them with new ones like many people do. Which is rather strange, really, because I like to change everything else around every five minutes. :D |

| 361494 | 2005-06-06 22:28:00 | The cost would be an issue when printing at home if done on more then a casual (very casual ) basis, You need to buy a pretty smart printer, a whack of quality paper and a stash of ink. Everyone I know who has torn into home photo printing with great enthusiasm has found it comes to a grinding halt when they reach for the wallet to pull yet another hundred out for ink... |
