Prints from a camera phone
Dear Michael,
I recently upgraded my cell phone and the saleslady talked me into a
camera phone. I send pictures to my friends and they look great on the
camera screen. But I am disappointed when I hook up the phone to the
printer. The photos are blurry and look out of focus on the edges.
How do I make good prints from my camera phone?
Deb
Dear Deb,
That's a great question! Remeber that
in all probability your camera phone has a low resoultion setting that
sometimes automatically adjusts itself (defaults) to a resolution fine
for sending photos to firends, viewing on a camera phone display
and even a computer screen. That may account for your "blurry or soft
edged" photos when you make prints.
You are not the
first person to ask about making quality prints from camera phones, so
we are in the process of putting together some comprehensive
information about that subject.
Check back soon under a new category in our search box called Camera Phones.
Thanks,
PS

Good photographs begin with good light. In the digital photography world, the quality of light corresponds to the quality of the photograph. The dramatic light of the early morning and late afternoon can raise the quality of your images. In poorly lit situations use supplemental lighting from the camera's flash in the fill-flash mode.

Dear On the cheap,
Yes! If you plan to take creative steps in dealing with your images, photoshop and the lastest Creative Suite 2 are simply the best and most efficients image handling programs available. Is it "worth it" to you, that depends on what you hope to achieve with your images. I would suggest the Elements version of photoshop as an entry level position. Better yet, check a local computer store or even the Apple Store an invest a little time in attending a couple of their tutorial classes for a "test drive" of the program. Then you'll be better informed before you spend your money.
Thanks for your question,
Michael at PS
