Hi pm_farmer,

From what I can gather from your question, I understand that you are a bit confused on what to do with celebs sending photos/sending your own. Many celebrities do send photos of their own, and you can generally find out if they send a photo of their own if you check out the feedback for that particular celebrity.

However, if you wish to send a photo of your own, I suggest that you buy yourself some photo paper, and you only have to use a standard printer - however when printing select that you are printing a photograph. You can photos from a website such as Google (http://www.google.com) by clicking on the image tab.

Alternatively, you can get your picture printed professionally by a company if you send an image to be printed. Examples of companies are Kodak and ASDA/WalMart

Hope that this information proves helpful and I hope you can decipher it!!

StarsWhoSign, I cant get the images I want resized. I tried paint but it just messes up the pixels. Do you have any other solutions?

Thanks {up}

Hi Taxi_06 {up}

Try downloading Picasa from Google. It is a free download of their imaging software which I have heard is great for resizing pics.

Check here: http://picasa.google.com/

Cheers!

Picasa works very well, but unfortunatly, they do not enlarge photos. :( Do you know of another program that resizes and such?

Dear Taxi_06,

if you have a large photo -let's say 8000x6000 pixels or the one's I've sent you via e-mail- you can resize this photo to a smaller size which even gets you a better quality since the DPI (dots per inches) are getting more the smaller you resize the photo.

But if you have a bad quality photo -let's say 500x300 pixels- there's no way you can enlarge the photos without loosing quality. And since the quality of such a photo isn't good anyway, you'll get even a worse quality after you have resized the photo.

If you are looking for more photos, simply drop me a line like you did the other day and I'll have a look in the press rooms if there's anything off your request list.

Best,
Stephan
