Ok, I have a question for all you technology guys out there. My wife is wanting to buy one of these photo books online with some of the pictures we took on our vacation. Anyways the pictures she loaded on the website didn't have the right resolution. I think she said they need to be 1600 x 1200 or higher and they are currently lower than that. Anyways my question is how do I change the resolution of these pictures? Thanks for the help.

You can use a free downloadable program called "irfanview". Here is the link to the download. You simply import your picture into the program, press ctrl+R and that will open the resizing window. Form there you can type in the resolution you want, or pick from resolutions that come preprogrammed. If you have any trouble just PM me.

depending on what program you have you should be able to go into image properties and convert the image size from whatever it was to at least 1600x1200 wich is a large picture but if thats what they need.
The one my wife is using is http://www.shutterfly.com/
Keep in mind that 1600x1200 is from a 2 megapixel camera (assuming they're photos). If they're much smaller than that, say 800x600, there will be artifacts from scaling up with a photo editing app. They may look passable on your computer screen, but look terrible as large prints.
I did not know how to say that, but I figured some one would.
We took the pictures on one of these really nice Canon Camera. I think this is the camera we took the pictures on: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7026069&type=product&id=1099394810083
Well heck, that's an 8.0 MP camera. I can't believe you got a < 1600x1200 photo from it unless she set the resolution really low. Do you have a PC or a Mac? In Windows, you can right click the photo and it will show you its resolution. Likely similar on a Mac.
I figured it out. When my wife was uploading the files she downloaded the "unload files faster" software that is on the site and it compressed the pictures. Therefore I just uploaded them again last night and everything worked out fine. Thanks for the help.
