Pictures on mini's coming out blury..help please?

[sarabeiser]

I am trying to QUICKLY reacclimate myself with WrapCandy. I havent used it in 10 years and of course I am trying to do last minute college graduation mini wrappers. I seem to remember there was something I had to do to allow pictures to import in clearly. No matter what I do, they are blury. I have even tried to decrease image size in photoshop first before bringing it in, but it still is blury. Do you have any insight on this? Thanks so much! Sara

@sarabeiser - Not sure why you are getting blurry images. I have never had that problem.
Are you using your own pictures and importing? Make sure you save in jpg or PNG at as high a quality as you can.
Have you tried to see if it prints okay, I think sometimes they print better than they look. If you are happy to do so can you attach your photo/image here and we can see if it's okay or if there's something else we can do to help.

I asked her to send it to me in a private message and I would take a look at it ........

Thank you so much. The pictures are resized, but definitely lost their quality. For instance, this last picture, this is the original.. funny, it looks blurred in my post too! (the original!)

@sarabeiser
This is the best I could do.

 

[jenel]

This is the best I could do with it. Look at it in the program

Awesome!

Must ask, did you use photoshop @jenel. Yours came out so much better - sharper - than I could achieve. Hope Jenel's helps @sarabeiser

I used IrfanView 64 and reduced the size of the pixels.

Oouu, never heard of that. Well done. Now going to look it up! Thank you @jenel

 

[latitude]

Same here, also going to go look it up.

IrfanView 64-bit version

Jenel, is this payback for the snakes and gnome thing?
I downloaded the view thingy, took one look at it and closed it.
This looks suspiciously like a program that could pose a danger to my computer or anyone in my immediate air space.
Trying to learn PSP killed one computer. The good news is, hubby survived lol.

Thinkin I'll just let you help members with their photo problems or Roxy if she has more patience than me

 

[jenel]

No, I use it all the time. I used it on the picture

I would NEVER do that to anyone. Maybe I shouldn't help

I didn't mean the program would do damage to my computer, I meant I would.... trying to learn another program.
I have the patience and concentration of a rock.

@jenel, Donna - @latitude and I have a similar sense of humour. I understood she was joking when she said hubby survived! Knew then she meant the problem was with her understanding the programme!
Don't ever stop helping. We love everything you share. Thank you Jenel.
OK - UPDATE, downloaded the programme. Hate doing anything new. So was going to delete it. However, I opened the picture in and had a play with it and came up with the attached. OMG - I always worry about downloading anything new. Might just use it again. Once I have got over the initial worry. Think picture turned out pretty good. Might not be as good as yours but I did try!

Ditto what you said about Jenel sharing.

I have quite a few programs that I have downloaded in the past, and open, then close them because they look too mind taxing. PSP does some photo editing but anything more than the basic steps is too complicated for my mind. But maybe I will try this IrfanView thing. Your's turned out really good.

 

[jenel]

open the program ....
#1 Click on the file folder to open the program
#2 Select the folder where your image is
#3 Select image
#4 & #4a Do CTL R for resizing or image then down to resize
#5 Select half to reduce pixels by half to make it smaller or double to increase the pixels to make bigger
#6 CTL S to save or file and then save #7
You can either save and replace or save it with another name to save both images

thank you @jenel. Will try that. It really is a case of practice to see what does what. isn't it!
