Image Resizing for
OCPA Competitions

Our next meetings - May 7th & 21st at 6:30 pm, North Bend Medical Center's Conference Room, Coos Bay          Coos Art Museum "Photographic Synthesis": April 27 - June 30th          Board Meeting, May 18th - Cooper's          Shoot-out, Golden & Silber Falls, May 12th


Conclusion

    After reading about resizing images in 11+ different programs (you did read everything up to this point didn't you?), you should have come to the conclusion that they all do kinda the same thing, and how you do it are all kinda similar. You should now be able to open any imaging program and figure out how to resize (and save) your images - although you may not have all the tools you want (particularly in the quality/compression settings). The bottom line - it depends on you budget on what software you buy, what you’re going to use it for and how often you’re going to use it (i.e. I would not buy Lightroom just to resize three competition images four times a year). You have imaging software on you computer. Your camera probably came with some, Windows has some built-in, there are free download programs available on the internet and we even have one available on our website. Learn how to use the program you have, even if it has limitations, sometime you can figure out how to work around them - just give it a try. And have fun, this is supposed to be enjoyable, not work. ;-)

Conclusion

Clicking on images will allow you to see a full sized, hi-res screen capture
(will open a new window)

    Note: not all of the programs listed above can open/manipulate every type of image file, although all should work on jpeg image files. You will need to research yourself if you can use said programs with your image files.
