The digital revolution has taken the country by storm.  Digital cameras allow you to see what you've taken instantly.  Better yet, since there's no film, take as many photos as you want and discard the mistakes later.  Is there any wonder the film industry is losing ground after 100 years of domination.

Consider the photo shown below.  This was taken with a 3 megapixel camera that produces photos 2048 X 1536 pixels.  Hmmmm what does that mean?  Well the quality is good enough to support large prints.  However it won't show comfortably on most computer screens set to a typical screen resolution of 800 to 1020 pixels in width.  The good news is software programs typically reduce photos to the viewers screen size.  Therefore most users have no idea how big the file size actually is.

With graphic software the picture has been shrunk to 1/10 its former size.  Run your mouse over the photo to see the dimensions. The advantage of being able to reduce an image is twofold.  Not only does it take up less space on the page, more importantly when part of an E-mail it will download many times faster.

The original would take over 4 minutes to download on a dial up connection.  This photo will load in just over 9 seconds!  Okay the picture is a little small but it may be all that's needed, especially if speed is of the essence.

Lets suppose you just want to show a close up of the cannon, what then?  For more information click on the link below.
