There is one program on my computer I will check tomorrow. It may be one that you have already. Anyway, that is my 3 cents worth. I am not familiar with IrfanView. I will get back with you tomorrow on the other programs I am familiar with. That be okay? You will probably have tons of professional answers before I get up in the morning...........all the better so we can see those images a little larger.  | It still looks like a black & white photograph, Jan! Sorry! Did you steal it from another website?  | |

Are you putting the images in your post as an attachment, or as something else? The images that I have thus far posted have all been attachments. | I do put the images as attachments. I think I can find a program tomorrow that you may have on your computer.
I am no expert but I don't believe you would be restricted to size because of color. You can size up to 750 pixels but no larger when you go to the advanced or additional options. I posted the Ostrich Egg (quite early on) from a photograph and it didn't limit me.
We will find answers one way or another for ya! Others out there will probably have you fixed up before I wake up! LOL | |

LOL | I know that you are tough! You wouldn't be able to do your art the way that you do, unless you were tough! Some of what I play on the piano is Liszt - the harder works. I like to do the hardest pieces. It is a challenge for me. I don't quit and I won't stop. Some of the pieces that I play have taken me over two years to perfect to some degree. Even then, it will take me many more years to say that I have really completed them. Some of the pieces, when I heard them on recordings, I had to listen to five or six times to get a grasp that I even liked them. They are that deep. When I play them for an audience, I explain these things to them so that they might also get an idea as to what it takes to understand the pieces. | |

Thanks, Jan!
I don't understand pixels as compared to kilobytes. Or, am I using the wrong terminology here? Don't really know. | |

You have a way of getting people excited about what you are excited about. I would like to hear a tape of you playing sometime or see a video clip. I have an idea, you put so much of yourself into your music that you become the music. Thank you for sharing this part of you with all of us on the forum. Tomorrow, well, today actually, LOL, the people reading the posts will be happy to know more of what you do and how much heart you put into it. | |

When you post an image: Example:
Width 750 Pixels - this is equivilant to 3.750 inches in print size. (on this particular image)
Height 536 Pixels - this is equivilant to 2.680 inches in print size. (on this particular image)
There are variables I believe but this gives some clairty perhaps!????  | |

Aw, that was very sweet of you Jan! Thank you! We are two birds of a feather that flock together! There are very few differences in us concerning art and caring about others. Beyond that, it becomes difficult to explain the similarities because they are so complex. It's like trying to define love. It's too difficult. In order to understand what we are talking about, a person really has to be there. In my own wording, "People don't know what they're missing, 'cause they haven't been there yet."
I basically asked permission to come on this thread initially. I felt left out. But, what I do is as much an art as what everyone else does here.
We are all one, here!
You do know that you will hear me "live" at some point in the future? It will be easy to do.... | |
