Very nice image Gail2.
The thought of winter isn't so nice though, not yet pleeeeease!

It's a very atractive photo (manipulation)
(But I still don't like winter!)

Thanks. I knew the winter photo probably wouldn't go over well so early in
the season, especially with the "non winter people". I love snow though ( I
know I'm in the minority) and this is one of my favorite pictures.

Lovely. I love snow too, but then I live nowhere near it.

Very nice photo and treatment, Gail. I love snow too but only when it's in
someone else's back yard. Had enough in my childhood in Iowa to last a
lifetime.

It is a very lovely image, Gail!
For future posting of images, however, you should consider
resizing the image. It's way too large in pixel dimensions to
display on my 17" monitor and so can't be truly enjoyed without
first saving and viewing in a viewer, as it has to be scrolled so
only a portion can be seen at any one time. Also, resizing will
lower the file size so that it isn't to large for people on
dialup, who would spend more time than they might wish trying to
download it. Just a "heads up".
Regards,
JoeB

Thanks Valerie, we "snow people" will have to stick together.

Do you live in a year round warm climate? I would miss snow, not frigid
temperatures but snow.

I'm a snow person, too. Last winter went on a little too long for me,
but in general, I enjoy it. The only thing I don't like about it is when
the driving conditions are really bad. I don't usually go out when it's
like that, but I worry about hubby and kid when they're out on the
roads. Other than that, I think it's a beautiful season and I even like
the cold. Since I live fairly close to Buffalo, NY, it's either 'love it
or leave it' ;-)

Thanks Joe. Help! I don't really know how to resize. I went to the help
section but when I try to print a 5x7, it cuts part of the top edge from the
photo.

Gail, resizing for printing is not the same as resizing to make
the file size and pixel size of your image smaller. I am
providing a link below to a PC Magazine article (it is spread over
several pages of their site so make sure to click the Next link
under each paragraph until you've read it all). This is a good
and easy to understand article on resizing.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1790570,00.asp
Once you have read that article you will likely have a better
understanding of the concept. Then feel free to post back with
any questions you still have.

JoeB

I see the difference now Joe. Is this still too big? Thanks for your help.

Much better, Gail, in that it is only 1000 pixels wide rather than
1800 pixels, and at full screen I can see the whole image without
scrolling.
The trick for presenting on the web or email is to make sure it's
small enough (i.e. not too wide or high in pixels) that it will
cause people to have to scroll to see the image. A safe size is
an image that, in landscape format (i.e., one that is wider than
it is high) is about 800 pixels wide. At 1000 you're stretching
the limit for some viewers, but it's workable with this image
because it has white edges anyway which merges with the
background. If it had image color and detail right to the edge of
the 1000 pixels then it still might be a little large for many
viewers.
Some stuff you'll start to get familiar with as you continue is,
for example, that when you resize to smaller pixel sizes, the
image loses detail and sharpness because you have to throw away
pixels. So you'll often want to use the Unsharp Mask (don't ask
about the anomaly of the name - it's a legacy from film developing
technology) to kind of sharpen the image a bit.
And remember, resizing using the Resample option is only for
making images look physically smaller when viewed on a monitor for
web pages, newsgroups and email, because it has to discard pixels
so loses image detail that is not immediately apparent when viewed
on a monitor. For print purposes, you make another copy of the
original and resize with Resample Using *unchecked*. Then you can
just change the print size and resolution to taste without
throwing away pixels. If this last paragraph confused you at all,
you'll likely understand it again by re-reading the pages on the
PC Magazine link I sent you.
By the way, it really is a nice image of winter!

JoeB

Joe,thank you for taking the time to give me all that information. I have
tried to resize in the past and was just confused about the whole process. I
think I have a basic understanding now, thanks to you.
