VERY nice car. But am I the only one who sees what looks like over-sharpening artifacts possibly caused by a program with a bad resize algorithm?

Yeah there's something funky there with the images. But who cares. I want the car.

You're speaking in tongues when it comers to the re-sizing technicalities. The pics are 25% of the full 10.1 Mp. The program is PhotoImpression4, software that I've had for years. It's relatively unsophisticated compared to Photo-Shop for instance. Some of the pics have around a 15% sharpening level according to the program.

I think it's definitely that program. It's called aliasing, but I suppose wicked sharpening could also cause it. Are there different settings for the resize algorithm? Maybe try no sharpening? I don't mean to pick but it really distracts from the fine, fine automobile.

check out getpaint.net, its a free powerful image editing program.

I wished I had a black on black brougham. Nice Car!

2 things come to mind. If you're looking for an extremely simple light editing, cropping and resizing program, do yourself a favor and get VuePrint from Hamrick software http://www.hamrick.com/upg.html . It's almost too easy to use.

If you need to do batch processing then I suggest Image Genius. This program is so amazing I wrote an article about it.

Looking good:cool2:, my 91 is the exact same color combo. Not sure if I like the shaved Brougham script on the rear fenders though.

She's a stunner for sure! The aliasing didn't really bother me any :)

This thread's sort of drifting off-subject, yet it's not. There's much to learn about presenting our cars to others to their best advantage.

gfxdave99, that program is awesome! It only slightly sucks IMO because the max size it allows you to resize to is 800 pixels on the long side whereas I normally downsize to 912. Anyhoo....here's the results plus some other recent pics I've posted re-edited from the original out the camera pic.......

I like that program because it's dead simple to use and quick. Using someone else's big server is way faster than my low RAM 'puter. The difference in coachlines, grille, etc is remarkable.

Another re-edit.

I took this picture early October '07, the day after I bought the car. I spent 5 hours cleaning it before the picture was taken.
