I guess I don't understand your question. It sounds like you're trying to make small pictures larger and that never works because of lack of sufficient pixels.
If you're trying to stretch 7mm to 70mm well, frankly, it's going to look like crap. When I'm cropping pictures for Legacy myself I have a standard proportion of 1/1.618, for no reason except that it's the Golden Mean prevalent throughout nature. And if I don't proportion them consistently, charts in Legacy look 'funny'. Then I can re-size them smaller, for instance if I want consistent dimensions of 100 pixels by 162 pixels. So, it's a combination of setting a 'selection size' for cropping and then re-sizing. I don't know of any specific tool for the job because those are basic features in any graphics program. --- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog/ On 7/17/2012 12:02 PM, Bernhard Scholz wrote: > JL, > > I know I can cut out parts of pictures with any graphic program but eg.
