FIRST FIND WITH ACE 250 PHOTO ATTEMPT

[veni seekum metallum geltum]

I posted the description of my first find recently, now I'm going to attempt to post a photo. My cameras DL to Kodak EasyShare software, and the photos are stored on my hardrive, so there's a start.
I realize now that I should have adjusted KB size in the camera rather than attempting to do it (first time for thsi also) with the Kodak software. Of course, if I knew how to resize it in "Paint" or the old, never used, version of Photoshop I have installed on this computer, I wouldn't have this situation

I hope the photo will depict all items: 3bottlecaps,one Nylanut, one-half a snap from a tot's clothing, one bolt-cut shackle,
one 1989 nickel, and one 2006 penny.

I did end up resizing the original1.01MB photo in "Paint" after all, because the resizing in Kodak software was still insufficient.
Look at this - not only learning MDing, but how to work with images!

Think I'll drop Kodak for Photobucket.

This beez kewl

PS - looked at my Canon SD1000 camera manual to see if I could retroactively change the photo size on the camera's card, then delete the original photo from my hardrive, and then DL the smaller image to the 'puter. I haven't found that option but it definately would've been a McGiver way to solve the problem.

What's the relationship between pixels and KB's, anybody???

I owe it all to you, Uncle Willy - you came through with the simple solution that I followed.

I'd like to send some warmth from south Florida to you, but even down here we're at (probably a record-setting) 20 degrees with the windchill factor.

Global warming? Yeh, right. Like Gore invented the internet.

Thanks again, my major Guru.

I do all my resizing with Irfanview. Some people don't llike it but
it suits my needs and the best think about it is its a free download and
easy to use. Quite a few libraries around here use it as well. No one to
my knowledge has ever caught a virus from downloading it. Its a decent piece of
software.....unless your into doing all that creative stuff with photos and then you need
Photo Workshop.

From the land of the Bluenose.....got the King of Beer in a good light. I use photobucket and find it okay in that all the different codes forposting a photo are on it. Miss being able to use the Olympic software for the touch ups though. Keep at her me bouy!
