ENLARGING PICTURES TO
FIND A NEW PICTURE
Discover New Meaning in Your Digital Images
Imagener was created to expand the options
and uses of digital images. One major use is to pull
a new picture out of an existing one – to find
the image of subjects or elements that may be hiding
within the overall scene. Details within images that
even the most trained observer would miss can be given
a life of its own through enlargement.
An extension of this is to actually think about enlargement
whenever you are going through your digital image library,
or even during picture taking. Observe patterns within
your field
of view
that seem
isolated
or that
do not stand
out
and would normally be missed because they are part
of the background detail of an image with a dominant
subject. Another way to think about how enlargement
can add value to your images is to look for
strong main elements, then focus your attention on
the detail that is not the main element looking for
specifics that are in contrast with the main
element or subject of the photo.
These
contrasting patterns in subject matter can give you
new, exciting pictures.
Here's an example. In the photograph below, the main
subject are tourists on a beach in the Caribbean.
|
| The eye is drawn
to the line of yellow umbrellas against the skyline,
accented by a woman staring out to sea. This image presents
subject matter that makes you focus on the
larger theme rather than on the images of seagulls that
are somewhat camouflaged by the sand. Camouflage can
be a major source of lost detail as it takes some practice
to notice image elements that wash into surrounding background
colors. Enlargement of camouflaged elements can create
new images that would otherwise not exist. |
 |
|
Picture Within a Picture
Imagener helps you find detail in photos and makes that
detail valueable on its own. Imagener enlargement can
give you new pictures and allow you to discover hidden
elements that you would never have noticed before. |

with Imagener
Unlimited. |

We have many testimonials from people that
have told us that this is the most exciting use for Imagener
- that it can reveal entire new images that would not
have been possible with any other photo
software.

CONSERVING MEMORY AND STOPPING
ADWARE
As we alluded to in our April
2005 newsletter, Imagener
Unlimited is extremely memory intensive. Therefore you should do whatever
you can to conserve memory, and that includes stopping spyware and adware. Spyware
and adware often launch and keep parts of themselves in memory the entire time
your computer is on. It will decrease the amount of memory available to programs
and will make your computer run slower (sometimes much slower). The amount of
memory loss and computer operating slowness depends on how many of these programs
have attached themselves to your system.
We found one program that stops pop-ups and eliminates spyware
and adware while you are working on the computer and surfing
the Internet. It is an intelligent application called Stopzilla.
Stopzilla lets you clear all of your cookies or your browsing
history with a single click, and it has built-in adware and
spyware detectors, so you never need to worry about third-party
software following your tracks on the Net or serving up sleazy
ads. Spyware and adware are stopped in real-time, which means
that once it is installed, you are protected and you don’t
have to run a scan because it is always blocking these types
of programs.
STOPzilla Anti-Spyware: Limited Time Only: $19.95 - $10 REBATE

SHARING
AND PRINTING PHOTOS ONLINE
This month we review an online service that allows you to store and
edit photos, share them with friends and family, and order lab-quality
prints online. Of all the websites we reviewed, this one is by
far the easiest to figure out. It also lets you create an online album
to store
and share your photos. Just send your friends or family a link
and share your memories without attaching large photos in e-mail.
Shutterfly.com has a lot of advantages to other online photo printing
services. Registration is a breeze, asking only for your name
and e-mail address. From its sign-in screen to your own personal
album pages, the site's interface is simple and intuitive. Pages
load quickly, and your photo pages display as single pictures
or as a thumbnail album with your captions. You can upload digital
shots by scanning your hard drive, or using Shutterfly's SmartUpload
utility, a small program transfers files using an upload wizard
to make things easy. Shutterfly provides unlimited storage space.
SmartUpload also supports simple editing functions such as rotating
and cropping.
Once your album is uploaded, choose photos or whole albums you
wish to share and enter the e-mail addresses of your family and
friends. Then they can click the link to your gallery. Here, they
can view an automatic slide show, click a thumbnail display to
view larger versions of any given image, or order reprints of your
images.
