Save the resized image and you're away! Set an image size of 640 x 480 for an easy to manage file size. I'm betting your camera's lowest res would still be above 800 x 600. |

With higher resolution, it's sometimes easier to crop for a detail shot like below than getting the macro focus to work right. :banghead: :angry: depth of field. I usually use Windows Paint to crop and resize pics -- can't find a "resize" option in mine. (v 5.1 from XP SP3 install) :dunno The fastest way I've found to crop (1-4) and resize (5) in Windows Paint is to: 1. Use Ctrl-A to select all, drag-and-drop photo so the upper left corner is in place. 2. Click outside the selected area or change tools and change back to "select" to bring up the select crosshairs. 3. Use the crosshairs to determine desired size using X,Y coordinates displayed in the lower right. 4. Use Ctrl-E (Attributes) to set the horizontal and vertical size in pixels. 5. Use Ctrl-W (Stretch and Skew) to shrink it as needed. NOTE: If an area of the image is selected during step 5, that portion will be resized but the overall image size will not change Scott |

I just don't know what to ask yet. But do u mean swappable panels, or a modular panel, like I'm intending (aka Doc's modular mame, or weisshaupt's Ghost in the Machine)? & thanks for the suggestions concerning dealing with pics. Even as I'd made that comment about messing with the camara, I figured it'd b a heckuva lot easier to use a photo editor. Duh! |

Okay, more meager accomplishments: Placed another order to GGG, after waiting for some info from RandyT. Once it arrives, I'll have all but 3 of the controls I want, the last being 2 positional rifles (Operation Wolf, Terminator), & a periscope. ...I've never seen a periscope made or modded for a project. Could this b the unique element of my cab? ...It's going just about as slowly as I figured it would. Don't hold your breath, guys. |
