Samsung SGH-G600 phone pictures

[great white]

after my camera started flatening batteries after just two pictures I started using the camera on my phone

 

its 5 mega pix so the quality is fine, but even though I can get them to the PC ok as jpegs and they save and print ok, I have failed tonight to resize them enough to add a couple to the forum

 

when I attempt to resize using paint they change but I am then unable to save

 

the message keeps saying thet the save was interupted.

 

any boffins know what is going wrong??

Keep it simple guys

 

Thanks

Charlie

Charlie,

 

When you try to save them form paint are you still opening the folder from your phone ?

 

If so - try copying the files from the phone into a folder on your PC and then open them from there.

Don't use photoshop - use something called Paint.net - it is good and easy to use and FREE! http://www.getpaint.net/ you can crop, adjust colours, brightness, contrast etc and use layering etc

 

If it is not complex enough use GIMP which is also free and more complex like Photoshop (please ensure you use GIMP photo editing software otherwise you could end up with something you were not expecting and become someones bi*ch!!!) http://www.gimp.org/

I have moved the pictures from the phone to my Pc at home and here in the office.

 

Saved them in the normal way as jpegs no problem.

 

The problem arrises when I have edited them and reduced the size to add to a post, I can not save them

 

In paint I get the message "Paint cannot save this file save was interupted, so file has not been saved"

 

I have checked pictures from my camera and pictures from sams samsung phone and they edit and save, but not the ones from my SGH-G600.

 

I have now reduced the size on the phone, but that only has limited options so makes them very small.

 

Thanks for your help guys

just a thought, try saving it as something other than a JPEG, i.e. bmp?

then re - open the file and try then as a jpeg.... might work....#

HI Rob and Dan

 

I have tried both

 

The resizer works on all old photo's but not on the ones from the mobile nor does the other idea,

 

I had better wait for a reply from Samsung

 

for info the pictures on my weymouth post were reduced on the phone then copied to the pc.

I may be missing the point - if so ignore this - but I use a program called JpegSizer and find that it works very well. You can try it out for free. JpegSizer
