HI all, 2 qiestions: I'm trying to start a side business in photography - 1st question - I was trying to determine how to present my proofs after a session - should I give the client a cd to view, maybe save the files at 72 dpi and put a watermark ';proof'; across them? Or should I sell them the CD with high res photos to print themselves at a higher rate - is that even done these days?
2nd question: I don't want to short change myself but I suspect some of the folks contacting me are wanting pics for myspace and such and not intersted in print. And on that note, 2nd question: if they want myspace pics only - how do you present those and charge for those?
Thanks to all in advance for your answers! I've found this avenue for answers is GREATLY helpful!How do you present your proofs in your photography business? CD?
I use photoreflect. you can upload photos to a session and set a password (if the client doesn't want them public). they go online and order 24/7. You give photoreflect commission. It beats paying for a website monthly. You also have a portfolio on there. It's a good way to show off all your work (must get permission from clients to have photos public). Also, if someone tries to click on the image it gives a message about it being copywrited.
But I have been questioning this method. I have considered doing what you suggested and watermarking ';proof'; accross it an either emailing them or giving a CD. As far as giving them small photos for web, I think it's a great idea, but I'd put your company name on there somehow. A photographer on myspace used to put her photos on a big black background with extra space at the bottom with her logo. She has since changed her myspace or I'd tell you to go see it.
ps. if you give them a cd, definitely make them small so they can't print from them. You can also offer to give them a high res CD for a nominal fee (make it worth your while!!!) or tell them if they spend at least x amount that you'll give them a high res cd. but make sure that amount is very high!!
You don't want to come across as giving away your work. they will respect you more if you charge for the high res cd. and you will seem more professional.How do you present your proofs in your photography business? CD?
There are several different methods for showing proofs.
1) www.mpix.com has a proof book service.
2) Low res photo-CD. Make the images 800x600 and 72dpi, no larger.
3) Use a company like PhotoReflect. You can use one of their printers or fulfill the orders yourself.
4) You can give the high res images away, and I do from time to time, but once you do that you will not make any more money on printing images.
Internet image usage:
Figure out where, how large and the duration an image will be used. Charge based on that. If they only want to use it for a monthly promotion, then sell the usage at a monthly rate.

My image is currentl 1754 x 2480 pixels and i need to change it to 300dpi how do i do that please?
I don't understand how to convert my image from 1754 x 2480pixels to 300dpi as I think that they are different ways of measuring an images size. I used gimp to create the jpeg, and I am attempting to change (increase) the resolution in Microsoft office picture manager but the problem is that the size/properties isn't in dpi's so i don't know what it is now or how to get it to 300dpi. I hope this makes senseMy image is currentl 1754 x 2480 pixels and i need to change it to 300dpi how do i do that please?
Dpi or Ppi is different from image size (in pixels). Pixels is image size, Dpi is image resolution. Go to ';Image'; tab, then ';Image size'; and change Dpi settings from there (look for Dpi not pixels).

PLEASE HELP!!! HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE RESOLUTION ON A PICTURE?
What are some programs I could use to change the resolution on a picture, to make it higher? Please help me I need it for a s chool project and I've tried everything you could possibly imagine but nothing works. I'm trying to print out the photo in 8';x10'; and I need the resolution to be high so the picture won't be blurry. Currently the picture is 840x1024 pixels and has a dpi of 230. is that okay if i want to print it out 8x10 or would i need to make the resolution higher????
PLEASE HELP!PLEASE HELP!!! HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE RESOLUTION ON A PICTURE?
You can't with what you have. It is sort of trying to paint a barn with just a gallon of paint.
Genuine Fractals does have a program that has been used by some people here successfully, but I have never tried it since I shoot all my images at the highest resolution that my cameras supportPLEASE HELP!!! HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE RESOLUTION ON A PICTURE?
Right now, your photo is about 3.5';x4.5'; and you're trying to increase it to 8';x10'; at a higher dpi? I'm sorry, but that won't work like you want it to. A good dpi to have for print is generally 300 dpi and although you're kind of close, your original image is too small. You can only increase dpi to make a image clearer if the original image is larger to begin with.
Maybe try to find the original image, which may have a dpi of 72 but the size will be a lot larger than 3.5';x4.5'; and then you can increase the dpi to 300.
Or you can send me the photo and I can take a look at it for you.

How can one change the font size of inbox and folders display in the New Yahoo Web Email client?
I know how to change the font for composing msgs and for displaying msgs. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to tell the New Yahoo web email client to use a different (larger) font when displaying the list of folder contents (like Inbox) and the list of folders. The default display font for those is MUCH to small to comfortably view on a high res screen. Oh, and I DID use the Windows High DPI setting, but it doesn't seem to affect the font display for this app. Am using IE7.How can one change the font size of inbox and folders display in the New Yahoo Web Email client?

How can i manually change resolution/size?
please help!!???
i desperately need to change my photo's resolution or size.
my photographer said id be able to do it by simply changing the size on photo but when you go on to change it the only option is to CROP photo?
any ideas how i can do it? is resolution the size of photo or something else?
the details of photo are below?
i need the photo to be 10x 8 size
Height 1663 pixels
dimensions 1186 x 1663
horizontal resolution 72 dpi
vertical resolution 72 dpi
width 1663
bit depth 24How can i manually change resolution/size?
Is this a photo you have on your computer or is it online? Can you download the file if needed? What program are you using?
Or
This is simple to do, ask the photographer to do it.
---edit---
Okay, your original is too small. At the resolution listed, it would be about 150ppi when enlarged to 8x10. Some printers won't print an 8x10 at less than 200ppi and most prefer 300ppi for good quality.
You need a higher resolution picture from your photographer.How can i manually change resolution/size?
First off why do you need to change the size and what are you changing it for? If you are just going to print this you don't need to bother. Your computer or the machines at a processor will do it for you automatically. They will crop them automatically though. If you want to change the size for web use or to do any cropping yourself then you need an editing program of some sort. You can then specify the size or resolution you want them at.
Your camera can use a smaller resolution as well. On the menu just press the quality button and choose a smaller size. I don't recommend this because once it is small you can't make it bigger. You can always make it smaller though.
First of all, your image is not the proper proportion for 8x10. You will need to crop it on the long side to 1482x1186.
After you crop it (or while), you want to find the image size option in the menu of your photo-processing program. In Photoshop Elements, it's under Image/Resize/Image Size (not canvas). Click on constrain proportions and resample image and change the document size to 8x10.
Other programs will do it similarly, but the menu might be different.
Someplace in your photo editing program there has to be a RE-Size menu or button. Crop won't work as you know...
Re-sampling, re-sizing, it may have different names besides Crop. However, your sizes shown are well enuf for a 8x10 as they are.
A 8x10 normally needs at least 1600x2000 pixels to be good and your image is close enuf to make a fair, but maybe a lil pixelly, 8x10..
But, if you find where you can re-size the image in your program, you could tell the program to re-size the 1663 side to 2000 but make sure you have the Keep Aspect Ratio turn on and all will be fine and dandy. Don't worry about anything else except pixel count and then tell your image editing program you want a 8x10 to be printed and go for it. You should have a - Set Up - when you command the Print to start and in Set Up you will have the ability to position your image on your 'paper' as well as select the size of paper.
If, by some chance your image editing program does NOT allow these things, it is time my friend to get one that does...!

I have a website for my business and am having trouble with the photos on my site?
The photos on my website that I am creating looks fuzzy. How do I get them clear, like my original photos? Do I use 300 dpi or 72 dpi? Am I supposed to size by percentage or prixels?
After I insert the photo, I change the size, could this be what's wrong? Any suggestions will be great!I have a website for my business and am having trouble with the photos on my site?
that is certainly what's wrong; make sure to change the size and use an aspect ratio equal to that of the previous size (eg 200x200 goes to 400x400) NOT (200x200 goes to 200x300)I have a website for my business and am having trouble with the photos on my site?
When you change the size it affects the resolution. I suggest downloading a program called ifranview. You can get it at downloads.com.
This program lets you change the size of a picture and it affects the resolution as minimally as possible.

Go to Control Panel\Display\Settings\Advanced and disable ';hot keys'; feature. You need to uncheck the box that says ';enable hot keys';.
That should solve the problem.
