I have tried just sharpen on Photo Impact and it doesn't too well. On the other hand the Zoom Browser allows me to crop without losing a lot but I haven't played the zoom browser enough to know how to size photos for loading say on this board to 1024 that it requires. I then sharpen with zoom browser which seems to sharpen better then a basic sharpen from Photo Impact. With Zoom I can tell it how much to sharpen or unsharpen. I then have to go over to Impact to size for this sight. If I just want photo for myself and for printing I can just do zoom and not worry about resizing. I was just amazed at how much Roy could crop and still have a very clear photo. I would imagine the quality of lens and the sharpness of photo taken has a lot to play with it all too, which of course I am there yet or I would not have started this thread. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Seems to be a lot just in picture taking of the birds, whole new ball game then in portrait which I can do pretty well, but these birds are quite a challenge. Then add the processing of the photo, cropping etc and I find another challenge before me. I know I ask a lot of questions but I hope some day it will all click together for me so I can do some decent bird shots. For now I just bang my head against the wall sometimes and keep on trying.</blockquote>
