Thread: Sizing pics so you lot can see 'em?

So which one will stay Triton or GMC
Oops I meant Mac or PC

Grunt, thanks for the tip. I just downloaded 'fastone'. What a great interface, should make picture management a piece of cake.

No mate you want my gear, a G5 with 2.25 Gb of RAM, a 23" High Definition digital display running stuff like PhotShop CS, FastStone looks like a imitation to P/Shop. And I don't want to show off too much. Besides I'm sure your woodie skill are better tah n mine.

What do you do with your Mac? You've got a setup like a geek or a game junky.

FastStone is just a simple image view with basic image manipulation capabilities. It is just easy to use. It is not meant to compete with Photoshop etc.

I post all mine useing this method.

Al

But the pic you posted (1800x1200 pixels) is still bigger than the screen which means you have to scroll around to see it all. I don't use photoshop but there should be some way to set the size that the pic will be displayed at (around 800 pixels wide).

G'day Grunt,

None of the above. I use my Macs to run my grpahic design studio.

Sprog, they'll both stay. If you're comparing: a peecee is a GMC and a Mac is Festool or Dewalt.

Nar, Sprog got it right...

• PC = Triton. Plenty of cheap & nasty wannabes, well-built and accepts most 3rd party devices but needs extras & tweaking to get the most out of it.
• Mac = GMC. Good design, good overall quality, limited addons, spoiled by incorporating chunks of plastic in important spots...

Don't forget, Triton's can be improved 100% by using quality addons instead of the "cheap for the masses" M$ crap. Ermmm... I mean B&D.

G'day,

Each to their own, but Macs are more industry specific.

But one thing you have to envy, is no viruses exist for Macs.

That is because the user base is so small it is not worth the effort to write them

Not so.

G'day Sprog,

True, the user bse is smaller - predominantly used in advertising / design / TVC production industry.

The architecture of the OS has a lot to do with it too. But I know stuff all about that - just how to make it work and make it pay the bills and for more tools in the shed.

G'day Grunt,

I got that wrong, I shouldn't say don't exist - last I had one was back in '95.

I posted similar like you did with the link warning guys of the same and the geeks there told me malware isn't a "virus" - but I'm not ignorant to the threat and have Virex installed on my machines.

I've never used a Mac, so I do not know if you can manipulate files the same way as you can with a PC. If you can, and you have the equivalent of Windows Explorer, then I can show you how to manipulate the size of files using a word processor, such as Word. I do this all the time, and can reduce a 2 Mb file down to 40 Kb without any noticeable loss of quality. I won't bother boring you with the details if it is irrelevant. Let me know.

Regards from Perth

G'day Derekcohen,

Thanks for the offer but it's all sorted out now.
