how do you resize a digital picture from 3264x2448. to 2592x1944?

Question

I have a 5mp fugi digital camera, and have been copying images to the picture card, on a card reader, and viewing the on the LCD screen on the camera....that works fine.

But when i come to copy a larger image such as 3264 x 2448
I get a read error on the LCD sreen

So my question is these larger sizes 3264 x 2448 how would i resize this, to fit my camera's maximum size which is 2592 x 1944 to get a good print, from one of those kodak instant picture machines

or what would be the nearest i could get to this so i could copy it onto my camera, and still have a good print.

I am a beginner in this, but have found that copying saved pictures on my computer to my camera , with sizes 2594 x 1944 is straight forward, , anything bigger than this would need resizing to go on my camera

Answer 1

Well, see if you can follow this.



Most photo editing software like Photoshop have a resize feature but don't like it when you mess about with the ratios so might now allow you to resize it to those exact specifications.



What you can do then - which is relatively easy with some intuition.



3264 x 2448



2592 x 1944



To change it to those specs, what you need to be doing is shrinking it both length and width wise.



With a little bit of arithmetic, find out what percentage of 3264 is 2592 and what percentage of 2448 is 1944.



Then open the image up in regular paint, Microsoft Paint in the accessories of your start menu.



On the tabs at the top of the screen, you have 'file', 'edit', 'view' and 'image' - choose 'image' and select 'stretch/skew' from the drop drown menu.



This features gives you the option to resize images by a certain percent, if you put down 100% for both length and width it remains the same size, 200% twice the size, 50% half the size and everything in between in terms of percentage.



The value you put in those boxes in the stretch/skew feature are going to be less than 100% of course because you're shrinking the picture.



so x% of 3264 is 2598



(x/100)(3264) = 2598



3264x/100 = 2598

3264x = 259800

x = 259800/3264

x = 79.5 or 79.6 roughtly 80 but stick to the smaller value of 79.



Now you need to work out the value for the second box.



(x/100)(2448) = 1944



2448x/100 = 1944

2448x = 194400

x = 194400/2448

x = 79.4 so again.



Bottom line,



Put 79% into both those boxes, to shrink it by that amount - to 79% of its normal size, so you see its going down in the same ratio there won't be any distortion and you'll have something that fits just fine.



Hope that was helpful.

Answer 2

why would you want to view images that are larger in mp on your camera's lcd screen than it probably supports?



I would think that is the problem.

You are trying to view larger files on a device that cannot support the larger file size on the lcd screen.



use a free program like infraview to batch resize images.

Answer 3

Computerised scissors.

Answer 4

upload it onto photobucket and then click on edit and then click on resize

Answer 5

try google pixresizer its a free download and simple to use and very handy
