I am trying to set my photo images (.jpg) to 4"x6" using ACDsee which
is the software that came with my digital camera.

I also have access to Adobe Photoshop 6 and would like to know how to
do this using that program also.

Can someone who uses these programs please help me?

Thanks and cheers

Daisy.

Don't assume malice for what stupidity can explain.

RM: There's a lot which others ~could~ tell you, but it might be a bit
much at this early stage.
Here's a few tips to start with:
* Use Photoshop to open the images because you can do more, and what
you learn you can put in your permanent memory.
* Photoshop is great for getting professional advice.
* Don't use your original while experimenting. Do a "Save As" with a
different name AND SAVE as a tiff, not a JPEG.
* Set your measurements default to "inches" if it is not already set.
* Use the rectangle tool at top left to select your 6 x 4" area of
your pic. You will need to go to "Window" - "Show info" in order to
see how big the marquee tool is making your 6 x 4 area.
* After you select your 6 x 4 size with the marquee, select "Image" -
"Crop" to remove everything outside the 6 x 4 area.
* There's more to learn about altering pic size and number of pixels,
but try this first.
