I have an Olympus camera and when I download them and try to put them in a powerpoint they insert extra large and have to be cropped. I have tried playing with the format but am having no luck. I have a friend who says her pics are dropping in her slide show normal size. Is it a type of camera or what? Same philosophy for sending pics over email. I want them normal size. Anybody know?
How do you change the size of your pictures from your digital camera?
To change the file size then throw it into\pull it out of a .zip or a .rar! they are designed to compress things. To change the picture resolution, use a program like adobe photoshop, select your picture and goto image, resize, image size. then change the pixle width/size appropriatly. or you could use paint but that requires a bit of maths (confusing).

How do you change the size of your pictures from your digital camera?
Yes. First though you should always shoot at the highest capability of your camera. For me and my Rebel XS that's 10.1 mp.
That said there's a free download program that I use to reduce my sizes that works very well.
When you shoot at full size, what ever that is, you'll have good quality throughout what ever process
you're working on.
Just Google %26quot;Photo Gadget%26quot; and you should find it.
Know this ahead of time. It won't install as a regular program. You use it by going to what ever photo file you want to resize in Windows explore, right click and Photo Gadget will show up in the menu there, not on your desk top.
Your camera probably downloads to disk at 72ppi - your friend's probably downloads at a higher resolution making them better to print but a better physical size.
You need to take them through some kind of software to resize them.
Download Picasa - that can do that (I think!) and it is free.
