There are some things bloggers are not getting right with the kind of
pictures they upload in their blog sites, we need a good quality photos in our
blog site and make sure the photos are your own and must not be a third party
picture and some fair usage can be utilizes.
HOW TO GET A PICTURE THAT CAN BE MODIFY FOR FAIR USAGE
We have many options that will be made available right here for us, it is
all for free and works fine. We will list them according to their rank. Cautions when we are using the software’s because we might use it in the
wrong direction and at the end of the whole tutorial we might keep asking
questions all over again.
Take note: There are so many
software that can be used in re-sizing or modifying your pictures, but they do
not give an exact result. It makes pictures look horrible, blurry and fade.
REASONS FOR ENLARGEMENT OF IMAGE MIGHT LOSE QUALITY
Photo’s are made use of bitmap format, images saved with JPEG or PNG file
are formed by the bitmap. The Bitmap is made up of several pixels, we view it by zooming-in your
photo it will start by showing a number of dot or square that comprises bitmap.
|
In the zoom area each of the square pixels is mapped together in one
section on the image to make it bitmap.
Some of the bad modification software will only shrink or enlarge those
pixels to resize image to lose its quality. Actually, when we enlarges a photo
the pixel becomes more visible, and it can result in blurry photos.
