I have several jpeg images which I have resized using Microsofts 'right click and resize' utility. I resized them to Medium(Fits a 800x600Screen) and then used MSPAINT to cut it down to 750x250 (The size I need)

The resulting image is blurred and not the quality I would want for my website. Is there any way round this? Can the image be 'sharpened' up? and if so what software do I need?

I am new to image manipulatioin so be gentle with me

Thanks

Harry

Resizing goes a lot more smoothly in Photoshop, you can get Elements for (I think) $79US. You could then resize and do what's called an unsharp mask in 2 steps.

There's also several other programs you can get free. IrfanView, Gimp, Ultimate Paint & FastStone are some which might do the job for you. Use google to do a search. :wink:

I use PhotoResampling and I like it.
