Fattwins 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Wow what a weekend! Kuma killed it with the camera and then killed it for fun. got to say that it was a rather good time chilling on ridges waiting for the camera. Kinda gets you thinking more about what you can do with the line! Shocked myself when I recovered off of a blown jump too! I thought I was going to rag doll about 4 times but managed just to slap back and ski away! Took a while to crop the pics and size them down. Lost quaility etc but hey Im learning. Jer first the Kuma Link to post Share on other sites

quattro 1 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 FT Nice shots. The one with Kuma with his arm up in the air is probably about the size you want. I wish it was that nice up here were in the middle of a heat wave. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 I edited them alot from the originals using picasa then Iranview to shrink them. I was not the way to do it but I couldnt figure out how to do it else wise without another program handy that I know well enough! Link to post Share on other sites

quattro 1 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 FT I usually crop with Photo Shop and then resize with either Picassa or MS Office Picture Manager. PS has the only decent crop tool I have found. Link to post Share on other sites

tsondaboy 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 For that job Adobe image ready is better (provided you have the full Adobe pack). PS is not that easy to use, I only use it for more complex stuff than just resizing/cropping. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Why not try PAINT.net its a full working free software and a piece of cake to resize any pic to any size you want. I have paintshop pro and various other software, but I found that PAINT.net to be the best, beacause so quick and easy to use. Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 if he already crops it photoshop he can just hit save for web and change the size in the dialog box. or he can do image/size (i forget the exact words) and just change the longest edge to something between 600 & 800. it seriously takes 2 seconds Link to post Share on other sites

kokodoko 67 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 In photoshop you can set the size that you want to crop to and it will resize automatically. Just put 800 in the width and 600 in the height textboxes and move the crop until you get the composition you want. then hit enter. cropped and resized in one go. To do post processing in ps just use a bit of unsharp mask. ( i forget the usual settings) and also use the levels tool. good pics as well.. i like the one of the snowboarder doing the turn under the ridge line.. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 KOKO how you doing? Yeah I know photoshop is better but heck kuma can re post the pics later cause he has them. I personally am color blind anyways so I cant see anything. I was just happy to get some good shots of Kuma who is always getting good shots of me! Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 So you say that Kuma was patiently taking your face shots up to now, so you are glad to take his face shots too? Link to post Share on other sites
