Enlarging Photo Detail Help?

[Curt Schmidt]

Hallo!

Would, could, anyone post tips on how to "save" the portions of images enlarged for detail?

Being a Luddite, I can use Photo Shop to enlarge a portion of a picture to focus on detail, but when I save it and go to post it, the image has reverted back to its standard full size.
Sigh.

Help anyone?

Danke!

Curt

Herr Schmidt -

Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool (the one that looks like a rectangle made of a dashed line.) Hold the mouse button down, and drag it until you've created a "marquee" around the selected area you want to show. Select "Copy," and that segment of the image is now stored on your clipboard. Create a new file, and "Paste." Save that, and that's the image you want to post.

Curt: What I do is down load and save the archival Tiff version to my computer and open the picture in my photo program which is Adobe Photo Shop. I enlarge the picture to see what I want. I then put a square around the portion I want to look at and go to image, crop. It takes all the picture away except the part I want. The original picture is still saved, just not on the screen. I then "save as" and save the part that is left after I cropped. I save it as a jpg or a tiff.

I am sure there are other ways to do this.
