Norton Crank Repair, (or how to stop a grown man crying)

Ned Ludd:
Hi Bernd,
I would love to but unfortunately Photoshop would not let me in, so I had to edit the photos in Microsoft's rather limited editing program. You should have seen them before I cropped them. All this digital stuff is a bit beyond me, but I will try harder next time.

Bernd:
Ned,

Sounds good. Usally a program comes with the camera to allow you to modify the pictures. Just wondering.

Have you read Ralph's writeup on posting pics?

Just trying to help out here.

Ned Ludd:
Hi Bernd,
Much appreciated but camera borrowed from my Son who borrowed it from his inamorata, so heaven knows where the original instructions are. I used to be able to work Photoshop 5, but as I said its having a bit of a tantrum.
Perhaps I should have used my mobile phone, instead of the Canon, I seem to recall the picture size is nearer to what is required for this site.

That was an excellent repair you did, no wonder the owner was overjoyed.
As to making smaller photos, one very simple way is to use IrfanView. It's free, and shows just about any image format there is.
To adjust the image size, you go to menu item Image, Resize/Resample. There's lots of options how to do it, either giving some standard dimension, setting the new size in pixels, or as a percentage of the original. And then you can save the resized image as a new image, or overwrite the original. IrfanView also lets you crop the image (cut the interesting part of it), and save it as another image. And many other simple image manipulations. It's certainly not Photoshop, but for my purposes, it works actually better than PS. Small (1.44 Mb, instead of 1.2 Gb for Adobe PS...), quick, free and easy to use.  http://www.irfanview.com/index.htm

Never mind quibbles about picture size. (I only ever look at the thumbnails).  ::)

That is a really great restoration, of some gorilla's butchery!  :clap: :thumbup:
