        <![CDATA[ Hi all. I have noticed that that somewhere in the process of resizing photos using the software that came with my camera, and putting the photos on the host site, that the quality of the image deteriorates drastically. By the time I post them on a forum they look pretty awful compared to what I started out with after first looking at them on my PC. I had read somewhere that this can happen when the photos are resized, but does anyone have any advice on how to reduce the &quot;fuzziness&quot;... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have found that when resizing images, some resolution degradation will take place even when using high end software like Photoshop.  The more the image is reduced, the greater the loss of resolution.  Happily, there is a solution:  use the sharpen tool.  In Photoshop, this tool is called the &quot;unsharp mask&quot; (go figure).  Overuse of the sharpening tool looks just as bad as the fuzzy image it was intended to repair, so go easy and use just enough to restore the image to crisp detail.... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks for the help Stu. I imagined that Photoshop was better than the program that came with my camera, so that makes sense. I will check and double check next time I resize to see if there any options for quality, but I haven't found any so far. I probably just need to breakdown and buy some better photo software!!!<br><br>Thanks again for the help,<br>Kevin ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi;<br><br>I believe much depends on the type of software you are using to reduce your images. Some software, such as Photoshop, uses a sophisticated algorithm to see to it that, as the image is reduced in size, that the image quality is retained as much as possible. Some of the free, or nearly free, software (that comes with cameras, for example) uses a less sophisticated algorithm. Others will likely fall somewhere in between.<br><br>Also, some software offers more than one choice with... ]]></description>
