Typical Mac User : Learn Photography Things!

Don't let the name of this podcast throw you off if you aren't a Mac user. You couldn't ask for more information on digital photography -- cameras, cataloging your photos, printing and more -- than you get in this one hour show from fell Friends in Tech member, Victor Cajiao and his guest host, Andrew Darlow.

TMUP Live 29: Learn Photography Things!

I want to thank Andrew Darlow from The Imagine Buffet for being an awesome host tonight. You will learn a lot about digital imagine, photgraphy and printing during this show. (Continued with links from the show)

Tool: Shrink Pcitures - Re-size pictures online

A neat, little web-based tool that allows you to resize pictures and download the resized image. I can imagine using this on a machine, not my own, which might not have Photoshop or other graphics tool. It also has a quick "Avatar" tool for making graphics for web forums and social networking sites, which require certain sizes in order to work.
