Hi i have a pic that is too much of a close up.

i want to be able to zoom out a little, so the object appears a little further away, and then re-save it liek this.

is this possible?

thanks

    Try downloading and using Picasa from Google.

    It has quite a few tools that allow you to edit photos.
    Its free.

    Search "picasa" on google.

    In general, no.

    You can of course make the existing image appear smaller, but the usual effect of "zooming out" is to show more of the objects which surround the subject that you have photographed. This would require more information than you have in your photo.

    It may be possible to copy parts of the existing background to "fill in" the missing information, but this would be very time-consuming, and the result (depending on the subject matter) is not likely to be very convincing.

    yes thats what i want to do, i want the exisiting pic to apear smaller.

    is it also possible to stop people being able to zoom into it?

    thanks

    that picasa program was so complex and i dont think you can do it on there anyway...

    open the image in paint
    go to image
    go to sketch/skew
    in the percentages, type 90 in both
    press enter

    SAVE AS so you keep the original.
