Crop them yourself to a multiple of 2x3 to make sure what is important
to you is what is in the picture. in other words crop to say 400x600 pixels or 600x900 or whatever. The long side will be 1 and 1/2 times the short side.

Will that size still produce good clarity quality?
I thought the pictures had to be around the size 2500 x 1700 It's confusing for someone new at this. Is there a website that explains this to newbies? but that info helps thanks "Bob I" wrote: Crop them yourself to a multiple of 2x3 to make sure what is important to you is what is in the picture. in other words crop to say 400x600 pixels or 600x900 or whatever.

Two thirds of 2500 pixels is closer to 1667 pixels than 1700. But using
Picture Manager, you needn't bother with the math: Edit Pictures... Crop Aspect Ratio: 4 x 6. "marie" wrote: Will that size still produce good clarity quality?

All the pixels in the world won't "fix" the effects from a camera with a
cheap lens or out of focus shot. Likewise the "digital zoom" is only cropping the picture in the camera and using more pixels. I good picture at 2500x1700 should be good for an 8x10. As far as digital photography, the web is awash with good info. Start your search at www.google.com using "beginner digital photography" and pick likely sites. marie wrote: Will that size still produce good clarity quality?
