Hi All, I'm in desperate need of camera advise. I've taken tons of
pictures of my work with my canon rebel xsi. The new pictures I took
in the raw mode because I think you can alter them for publication.
Today I shot pictures of my work for a show that wants the pictures
between 300 ppi and approx 1250. My pictures, all of them ,raw and
taken on auto are about 2000 by 3600 or more. How they heck do I
convert them to a smaller size. I did figure out how to make a raw a
jpeg but, it's still huge. I apologize in advance. I'm simply stuck!
Thanks, Gina Mars

The new raku work on my sight has been taken with my new camera.

I use Photoshop to change picture size. Click on Image >
Image Size if you have the program.
The Canon Rebel that I use came with Digital Photo
Professional, which downloads the images to my computer. It,
too, can change picture and type.

For Gina's Mac operating system, you can get GIMP for the Mac:

Irfanview is free and resized photos. It is very simple to use.

Gimp is free and is a VERY powerful opensource image editing software.

Gina, it appears that you're using a Mac, so don't you have iPhoto???
Nothing personal, but it seems that you're really a novice with
cameras and computers, so keeping it simple is the best. I don't
think you'd EVER need to use RAW.
Resizing, scaling, etc. are trivial adjustments and are easily made
with any image manipulation software. If you have iPhoto, you should
use it. It makes all sorts of things very easy.
It's learning curve is gentle and its capabilities are plenty for
just about everything you'd need to do and then some. It's really
worth the effort, and, if you need to buy it (along with the rest of
the iLife package), it's way worth the price.
I also think you'd benefit from some 3rd-party supplementary
information, such as this "iPhoto '09: Visual QuickStart Guide"
for $15.
There's also lots of free info on the web, inculding Apple's web
sits, including this
Regards,
Maurice

I have used Irfanview. Yes, GIMP is powerful, but Irfanview is easier
to use. Only problem for Gina is that it is only in Windows. GIMP
is avaliable in Mac, Windows and Linux. It began as a Linux program.
