That camera has a 18MP sensor and should produce images around the 5000 x 3600 pixel mark. Of course you can set a camera up to take much smaller sizes but my guess is you have got a built-in thumbnail rather than the actual image. What format is the image, jpeg or RAW (.CRW .CR2)? If the image format is RAW then use the Canon software that comes with the camera to convert it for editing. There are plugins for Gimp that handle RAW images but the camera makers software will be best. >Upon further investigation (changing the ruler measurement to inches) it appears >that the size of the file is less than an inch in each direction. The attached screenshot is my 18MP lumix. The important bit is the size in pixels at the top. Then go into Image -> Print Size and see what it says there. Come back and give the equivalent values of your image. >All I want to do is produce a photo that will fit into an 8*10 frame...one >frustrated user ;-) I could write a 1000 words on this but I am not going to.
