Tea? (Part 2)

[potsy]

Would I be able to do that in Olympus master? the programme wot came with the camera?

Not sure. I take my SD card from my camera and put it in the SD slot in the computer, then 'copy' the photos I want to into 'My Pictures' in my documents.
I then have a copy on the HDD of the computer and do all the 'paint' stuff from there.

Best not to try these things after a pint of gin though

Or for camera phone pics I just 'Bluetooth' them to the computer.
Are you keeping up?

 

[Night Train]

You should be able to.

When you connect the camera to the PC open windows explorer and click on My Computer. You should see your C drive, D drive or DVD dive adn any otehr drives. One of them will be the camera. You shold be able to open a file in there that has all the camera photos on.

You may be able to do that with Olympus master but I have never used it.

I think Speichers' gone for a lie down in a dark room

Oops I am now on 'Pringles' and Magners

 

[Speicher]

Can we do one thing at a time?

I have found the saved pictures and right clicked on them.

This gave me the option, as you said, of "open with" Paint etc etc (Who knew that was there? I didn't. )

But in Paint I could not find the resize option, I am sure it is there somewhere, I cannot see it.
Or I could open it in Microsoft Photo Premium, which gave me the option of altering the number of pixels in width etc, and locking one dimension. But I could not remember the pizel size I needed.

By then it was ten pm, and time for another mince pie, put the cats out, and put the kettle on.

Next week, I will try to amend the photos. I will also write all this down, so that I can remember it.

You can adjust the size in Paint and then save as a smaller version.

Open in Paint.
Click the Image drop down menu.
Click on Resize/Skew.
Change the %age size. Don't forget to change horizontal and vertical to identical amounts.
The save as something else so you don't lose the original.

Follow NTs advice above Speicher, then when you get them to a reasonable size go to 'file' save as and rename them so you don't get them confused with the original pic.

Try 45% horizontal and vertical.

 

[Speicher]

I use Olympus Master to transfer the photos from the camera. It then files them according to the date they were taken, and I could edit them. I usually just do simple editting like rotating them or straightening the horizon.

From there I can save them in My Pictures, or email them.

The one thing I have not yet mastered is how to just transfer a few pictures from the camera. Rather than all the ones on the card in the camera. Is it something to do with holding down Alt and right clicking or something?

I can just put in the card in the slot in the CPU, but I can never remember what the slot is called to ask the puter to look in the right slot.

Yes, I will try that. Not now though, far too late. And anyway can you guess which film I am watching?

You were nearly there then, will take 2 minutes!!

Could it be another girly film? The Holiday?

 

[Speicher]

No, but I have seen that one. You would like this film, perhaps?

Wrong! it might take you two minutes, but I am on a steep learning curve here.

All my favourite films involve either
Zombies
Aliens
Arnold Schwarzenneger
Vampires
Jessica Alba

So my guess is 'Uncle Buck'

 

[Speicher]

Do you need another clue?
