Well...I almost lost it last night. The kids are starting to put their print orders together....I've promised good products....I sold myself and my pictures to them. So last night, I tried to put together an order for my sister. She wanted a canvas wrap and other 8 x 10's. When I go to do her canvas wrap, MPIX tells me, can't do anything bigger than a 8 x 10. Needs more resolution. So, I thought...I better try to see what some of the "kids" pics are going to be like. Nothing bigger than a 5 x 7 for some...16 x 24 for others. We read the camera manual....which does nothing for the pictures I took. We google online....we tried a million options. Nothing changes. I thought for sure...I had really screwed up. But it didn't make sense. So.....I went to bed, prayed for help, and then proceeded to have a sleepless night! When I got up, I decided to go to another printing company. They told me...the picture wasn't large enough, needed to be resized. As soon as I saw "resize" a lightbulb went off.......go to Picnik and "resize" the picture. So I did that and.....problem solved! I guess it makes sense that "larger" pictures take up more space in a file, so they get resized when they are downloaded.
Last night, I was ready to cancel all of my appointments, give people their money back, and quit. Today....I'm ready to take on my problems, learn from my mistakes, think with a clear mind, and do the best I can do!
I'm glad you didn't just give up! The pictures you take are stunning and it would be a shame to see you not be able to do it. I hope everything runs smoothly from now on!
