Just can't make sense out of this.
I did what i was asked to do by my Photo developer. That is; Make sure that i have 300DPI when sizing down to a smaller size. Ok" Easy enough i thought. I used common sense and to not reduce the size too much and left it to at least 800x600 and (left the preserve aspect ratio - If that was correct?)
I cropped it for a frame of 8x10, send it off via e-mail and hoped for the best.
No luck. he informed me that the frame crop size didn't match on his end.
I don't know what else there is to do? I don't understand the size aspect very well at all. All sounds like jibberish to me.
Is there not a software that does the cropping resizing and setting the 300DPI so that the other person gets it just like that? I use FX Foto for the artistic stuff but this program is not much good doing the above for me. The other Program i tried for sizing e.t.c is Infanview.
Anyone?
Thank you.
