I've always found the race for more megapixels kind of amusing. The amusement reached a new level last week when I uploaded a photo to WalMart's site to be printed.
When you are selecting files to be uploaded, there's a little blurb letting you know you are uploading using the "standard" method, or some such baloney, with a link. I clicked the link out of curiosity and found myself at a page telling me that using the standard method WalMart would resize my photos before uploading so they upload faster. They assured me the resized photos would be just fine to print at regular sizes. There was an option which allowed me to upload the original un-resized photo. But they warned the upload could take a very long time. So it's funny to me this store selling use more and more megapixels every year is also (kinda sneakily) thowing away some of those megapixels when you send your photos to them for printing. -- ~Nick David Wright http://www.nickdavidwright.net/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
