my beautiful photos are on a portable hard drive connected to the desktp or laptop via USB cable. I am looking at them with windows viewer XP or PSP 10 or psp photo XI.
Its the actial file size that has changed, not just the way i view them. When you look at the files in "my computer". the actiul file size is now tiny.
Thanks for answering..

psp has a batch option which will convert/re-size
(as ordered). - which may explain how ....
but there isn't a way to fix
..... I have no idea what to suggest ... I was hoping it was just windows displaying small thumbs.... but if the file size has changed ......
if the file names look the same you could try searching to locate any duplicates (clutching at straws!!:(
once you have re-sized (down) a .jpg pikkie ... it's permanent ... you can make the pikkie bigger again .... but the detail is already lost ... so it will just emphasise the imperfections of what's left.
the only option is to create a tasteful collage.
even if you have "backed them up" to a HDD .. you only have one copy.
real backing up involves duplication ... so if one goes you have a spare ('fraid this is after the horse has bolted !!).
All you can do is regard this as a hard lesson ... and in future burn copies to CD/DVD (do it twice - just in case)
CD is a permanent read only copy ... on a HDD (as you have found out) they are read write ... and still can be modified

welcome all...sorry about the fumes, them magnesium flashes dont half smoke...don't worry about the red lights, its all to do with developing stuff...oh and better take down the Fifi the diciplinarian cards as well...lovely girl, she models for the photographic club that use the place...better let the answerphone pick up any messages though. Make yourselves at home....(vanishes)
Evening, biddies. I've dislocated a rib or two... from coughing... Sorry 'bout the distinct lack of originality, I know it's already been done (Lottie)... They say it's a wonder how the bamboo knows when to bloom all at once, once in a century. Well I say it's equally as mystical how the biddies know how to all fall apart at the same time :( (Oh god I can feel my ribs moving every time I move just a little... not to mention coughing =:O)
No thanks from me too, I don't want to be male either but Vinny you looked so funny in that clip, ha ha ha, like Ricky Gervais's brother (if he has one), beaten up (eyes looked swollen) but still strutting about...!
It DOES smell of animals in here. Must be that deaf rodent of yours Lottie (ha ha ha, trying hard not to laugh!) Actually Robinia I think I've discovered the cause for the foul smell you've been complaining about, and Lottie could be on to something, it could be hearing related after all. Get Charlie a hearing aid and it should improve henceforth: http://i37.tinypic.com/1z2lq89.jpg

Hi all...no pics thanks you, I haven't had time to put me lippy on with all the cleaning up you left me with ...Neti, you could have zoomed round with George before you left, he'd have had a gay old time with all the scrubbers & feather dusters
lol Kit, he did look like Ricky Gervais....trouble is, when I tried it so did I... hahaha....ooh, sorry, forgot about your ribs... no more laughing. Take it easy and loosen your corsets.

oh, here it is. This thread actually is in Technology, even though Pets appears in the URL. How peculiar. A little lost thread about shrinking pictures. (Did you ever get them back, woofgang?) Well, I am taking three antibiotics the size of torpedoes twice a day and maybe it is wishful thinking but I am feeling a bit less pneumonic. I am very wishful as the last thing I want to do is spend a week in hospital with needles. I have just booked some Easyjet flights to ze Riviera for my birthday to go with the hotel tickets I won, and the hotel has kindly emailed to inquire what sort of birthday cake I would like. So maybe 2010 will be worth looking forward to. I have spent most of February (when I was on holiday) and now all of September and half of October coughing. And winter still to come - I am already wearing two pairs of socks and trying to save the slippers for when it gets really cold. I need a break.
good morning happy snappers, lovely crisp 'n sunny one here..
Just heard we alter the clocks next week! aagghhh!! dark nights :o(...oh well, at least it's lighter mornings for a short while
'tis very odd that says pets but is in Tech jno ....it seems to me that when you take a link of a Q from your profile it shows as being in the last category you posted a question in...weird.
Hope the torpedos work for you...and if you're not going to be here for your next birthday you may as well have your pressie now...

hello all how are things? Have spent today putting things on the wall in my new craft room, well DH did the putting, he doesn't trust me with a drill lol. Pups are fine Rab has reverted to puppyhood and spent yesterday dumping cushions and throws on the blasted heath that passes for our lawn. I hope i can break him of the habit as we have a new 3 piece coming that has six!!!! scatter cushions. No sadly I never got the photos sorted however I now have a posh new compact digi rhat does everything except wash up. Goota go baste the chicken and shower off the plaster duast...better shower first i dont want a gritty dinner...neti stop reorganising those pegs, the photographers won't know whose pics are whose. jno have you tried echinacea? you can take it with the antibis and supports the immune system...cannot have you missing the Riviera, its sounds so Hercule Poirot
no no no no no no! I haven't seen Saturdays's yet cos I downloaded the xtra factor by mistake (what a load of rubbish that is) so have downloaded both of them this morning to watch this afternoon. I thought she was supposed to have improved after kicking out the husband and coming off drugs. I do like the essex girl but she could become annoying with that voice.
After wandering around in the hardware shop and looking for you all I remembered where the change of address cards were sent .......... so I have found you all hooray.
Sorry about your ribs Kit. As you know I can empathise. Why don't you pop over to North Norfolk and we can prop each other up!!!
Glad your pills have started to kick in jno!! Shame you weren't prescribed them earlier!
As for X factor, I watched it this weekend in between trying to cook meals with a gammy leg, aching ribs and a splitting headache!! I can see so particular talent in any of the contestants and none whatsoever in Cheryl Cole, and as for Whitney well........................... (Although I loved 'The Bodyguard' - might have been more to do with the scrummy Kevin Costner though!!!)
Have booked an osteopath appointment for next Friday. She only works on Mondays and Fridays in this area. She is brilliant so I am hopeful. My cold and cough are both on the way out although Mr LL is now showing the signs of having caught the bug which I hoped he would avoid due to his problems at the moment.
Am now packing up three weeks worth of ironing to send to my ironing lady. I know it will cost me but I really can't iron standing on one leg (never could sit and iron), using my right hand to iron which hurts my ribs. My whole back now aches in places I never knew existed and I have a constant pain in the bum (as well as being a constant pain in the bum).
Haven't been able to drive for a while and can't even face sitting in a car so Mr LL did a large shop on Saturday. Think I could manage to complain about my back for a few months!!! However, I do feel rather cut off out here with no means of escape.
Off now to bag up the ironing - hooray.

Have a pain in my belly button so am worried that it's a hernia, on the other hand it may be where the buttons of my trousers press - who knows? Also left knee is so painful, feels like it's wrapped in a hot bbandage and it only hurst at the back, can't kneel down - luckily I don't have to!
Now have checked this and there are no slashes on it, let's see what happens when I submit!!
