Testing out positing a pic

and here's another pic of it. I didn't have that good of a digital camera when I took these so as you can see that's why I'm calling them crappy pics.

My digital camera is a 640x480 one that I bought back in '95. Great for the time, but just doesn't really cut it. I've found that if you edit pics like that in photoshop you can really help them out. I usually use the blur filter once or twice, then the sharpen edges filter, then I go to variations and adjust the color, brightness, and saturation. Finally I usually decrease the image size to 50%-66% of the original size. While not perfect, and certainly not very good for printing, the images tend to look much better on the web.

Half of getting a good pic from any digital camera is the software you use to edit the pic. You camera should of came with it. If not go with a share ware vesion of either fireworks, adobe paint shop, macromedia flash. All these are great. If I get home to night and not go get drunk and watch WWF RAW. I edit you pic and show ya here.

Thanks for the replies guys. I didn't feel like editing the pics down for posting them on a test like this.

The digital camera I used was one a friend gave us. I swear it was one of the first ones ever put out on the market (our friend that gave it to use is usually into a lot of the new things and he usually has the money to buy some of the newer things that have come out.)

I have gotten some pretty good pictures from it before, the lighting wasn't that good that day though. I have tried editing them but as the old Microsoft saying goes for compressing video, garbage in = garbarge out!

At least I somewhat have a memory of what I use to have. Oh well, I'll hopefully get a late model IROC soon here and put some mega ponies in it to not only bring back the memories but also make the car the way I had wanted it to be.

Thanks again for the replies guys!

Ted

I have a 1.3 olympus 360 camedia digital camera. The images are sharp but with a photo editor it comes out like this. You know i beleive that was edited with the soft ware that came with the camera. Of course photoshop is the best I would say.
