Digital Photos

[agkq62]

I have just found Paint.net and it seems excellent. For digital photos I want to do the following

Crop

Brighten

Sharpen

Resize to original

What is the best order for these.

Thanks

Come on guys I am only a poor beginner. If it's a daft question say so.

I believe the best answer we can give you is, "experiment and find what works best for your photos and your needs."

Resize to original

I'm just wondering, if you want to crop the image, why do you want to resize it back up later? Depending upon how much you crop it, that could result in serious quality loss.

But anyway, cropping would be the first step. No use in wasting RAM to process alterations to portions of the image you will just be cutting off later.

Next, it all depends upon the image. I just did a test to see what happens to the image depending upon which you do first, and I was unable to notice a significant difference. There was a little more depth in an area with extreme brightness, but other than that, there was no difference between the two.

Thank for your replies I shall continue blundering.

I need to resize to original so I can get the photos printed off at a standard size. Or am I wrong?

Hi,

If you want just to resize your pic to print it , just click on print button , and then set up your pic on photo wizard.

But also you can go to resize option of the PAINT. Just look what you have there......
