    Scaling artifacts aren't really visible with any decent software. Bigger is probably better, to minimize (the visibility of) compression artifacts, and laptops are a mixed bag wrt resolution.

      I can't use it because the point will be lost if the res is reduced any further, but what a nice picture she took.

        Why can't you use it? It's resolution is below the resolution of the screen it will be played on.

          I think you've misunderstood. I'm making a still collage as a precursor for the slide show.

          I have to incorporate at least 6-8 pictures in a single still frame. I suppose I could crop a bit and allow a corner of the central photo to insert in the top right (putting this in the bottom left)

              It's hard to lose a loved one or a friend. It's even harder when they're young and/or the loss is sudden and unexpected.

              It makes one question what life is all about, or if it's about anything at all other than a savage struggle for survival. And, then, from those depths of despair, one looks up to see the stars, planets and moons wheeling overhead, the faces of the newborns who blessed our world today, the small acts of kindness each and every one of us is capable of doing, seeing nature in its beautiful forms and ... and ... hope is restored. Love comes back. The will to go on, to see what else lies on life's road ahead of us ...

              FWIW, KH, you and your late friend are in my thoughts.

                Ahhh sorry to hear that mate...

                It is so hard to lose a friend, my friend died last year at the age of 17 and it was so hard. It makes everything you do seem so utterly pointless and stupid. There is no cure for that feeling other than time I think.

                May she rest in peace.

                  Sorry to hear that, KH.

                  Nice photos - though forgive me for not being keen on the out-of-focus looking one. Perhaps there is something there that goes over my head. My favourites are the stream on the left and the mysterious one in the middle that I can't identity but looks good anyway.

                    The out of focus one is nice because of the fact that there's a single cherry blossom floating downwards near the center of the frame which is captured in near-perfect focus, while the rest of the photo is out of focus.

                    It's absolutely surreal.

                    And the central picture is one of her, but I've blanked her face for privacy purposes.

                      KH - I may be wrong, but I wouldn't use the pic with the cars - could give bad associations.
