hey guys i put this in the main forum for 2 reasons its off motorsport figures and to attract more intrest but if the ods decide it needs to be moved can i ask for a few days on the main page first incase others miss it

anyway as alot of you have probly seen already i was extremly lucky to get this photo on friday at holden.....


http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww327/smokey_dj/ P7050148.jpg

now after consulting some people in the job from teds kodak dick smiths and starshots i got a 50/50 yes it can be unblurred and resized to whatever you want and the other half no nothing can be done too bad so sad

what i want to know is if any of you guys know how i can make this the size of say your average music icon poster you would get in kmart in the poster rack and fix the quality up as i wasnt too happy to see how blurred it was

does ayone know who does this sort of work and what costs id be looking at and anything i might need to know

also i have a time frame on this i will need it back to me by sunday the 8th of november as i want to get all the drivers to sign this at the island

thank you for any help you can offer me it will be greatly appreciated

You did well to get that shot. Who is the Ranga. It is a shame that the ring in is in the shot not just the drivers. Bugger about the Quality to. I am sure someone can fix it for you. I will ask the missus when she gets home as she has some wicked programs for scrapbooking stuff.
Soak up the win Holden Fans you deserve it. Great race even if I do not like the results

You can use a 'sharpen' filter in Adobe Photoshop but apart from thta I can't see much more you will be able to do with the image. However, technology has come a long way and I'm sure a professional will be able to help you in some way.

Smokey,
The missus has played with it a bit and has made it better. It is still not perfect but she will toy with it a bit more. She will get it as good as she can with her program and I will post it a bit later.
Sheeeeesh I can not believe we are helping a holden fan with a holden pic. If you tell any one I will hunt you down :smash::D

Smokey,
Here is a Q from the missus,

Is the pic posted the same resolution that it was taken in or has it been compressed. Have you got the pic on flickr or photobucket, etc?

Thanks
Ms Maq

to maq and maq's missus firstly thankyou very much for the help so far

2ndly to answer your q's it is on photobucket and all i did was plug the camera into the pc then moved to a file then uploaded it to photobucket from that file

i think its at 800 x 600 if that sounds right as thats what the mods asked pic to be resized to on here awhile ago
hope thats enough info ??

She will look at it again tomorrow. It is a bit grainy. Can do better.May not be able to get quality to go big for a poster. She can get pics done 30inch by 20inch for around $50ish posted through Creative memories (scrapbooking co.

any of the photo editing programs should be able to do basic image snarpness - like MS paint or Photoshop.

thats starting to sound about the size id be chasing after quickly dummy measuring it up on the kitchen bench

its something that will be very special to me from here on in and i want to get as close to perfection as i can at quite a large size

Am I allowed to say it was phonetically spelt or would ya see right through that :p
Me being one of the worst spellers around I wouldn't have bagged the wazza without it being tongue in cheek, lurve me little ABC button and it even has trouble deciphering some of the stuff I write :p Can't remember but sorry if I did wazza :o

Well done with the pic Mrs Maq, thats huge improvement, gotta be happy with that smokey

supa-roo, you may have photobucket set that when you upload to it, it will automatically set the picture size. That way when you put up links, they hopefully will be all the same size. Can not remember where that particular facility is, but it is in there.

Chris, why not just email him the actual image and cut out the middle man?

Maq
20-10-2009, 09:54 AM
Will the quality stay the same via email? Maybe if it is a link I can get into his photobucket.
not sure

smokey_dj
20-10-2009, 10:17 AM
ill pm it it instead thats what i meant to say anyway ooops

if this helps at all the camera is taking image quality at SHQ 3072 X 2304 at 7.1 megapixels

not sure

If it's emailed as an attatchment it will stay the same size. I'm pretty sure photobucket automatically re-sizes the image when you upload.
Someone more knowledgable than me may be able to correct me but that's how I thought it worked.

smokey_dj
20-10-2009, 10:23 AM
you can manually change the size wayno

i just made this a 1mb file now its uploading then ill pm it to maq

Just to add to the spelling thing
Guys, here's a link to the toolbar download I was talking about down at Bathurst, that has a spell check in it. It's a button with ABC above a green tick and Check next to it.
Once youv'e written what you want click on the button to spell check and click on it again to stop the check.
I'm not advertising it or anything, it's just what I use, well most of the time :p.

You may have to slide the bar around a bit, there should be a light line with little arrows each side, just click on that and slide the bars across
