My photos might be a tad sparse...

I was hoping to transfer a bunch of my shots from sxc to here only- your minimum dimensions are much higher than sxc.

My issue is that my archive drive for a lot of my older stuff went kaput a while ago... so I dont even have larger versions of them anymore. I know, it's sad. I shed my tears years ago.

That's ok! I love your work regardless. You do beautiful photography and have so many wonderful family atmosphere shots.

Send me your "small" photos on email. I will use photoshop blowup and make them bigger.

i do sympathise. i generally use RAID0 on my work PC's, but i have triplicate copies made of my work reasonably up to date. out of curiosity did you try and run diagnostic tools on the said HD?

i always thought once you resize an image (up or down) that you degrade it?

[reznor70]

Depending on how much it's re-sized... it can look horrible or ok. It will degrade it making it larger, but if made a bit larger no one would notice.

From a professional standpoint? I make images larger all the time. Usually it's ok within reason. I wouldn't make a 100x100 pixel gif into a full page print ad though. That just looks horrible.

Making images smaller degrades them yes... but I do that at work because they don't have ample server space for huge images. I keep images at 200 resolution (for newsprint) but make the inches smaller to fit my needs. Smaller is ok provided clients don't come back doubling the size of their ad. Photoshop saves it as smaller so it would have to interpolate the larger version and Photoshop isn't very good at interpolating.

my main background is 3d, but pixels are pixels at the end of the day. it's more obvious with a 3d render how resizing degrades an image. i resized one of these to ½ and then back up again. i think you might get away with a photo better, because most photos are more complex (than the scenes i render anyway) and are generally larger in pixels as well.
