Sorry about the quality of the pic (it was taken in the driveway), I was going to wait until I was I on the water next - but I couldn't:D :D :D

Can't miss me on the water now:D

(I'll take some better ones later on:) )

How did you do it Dave are they stickers or signwritten ?

It sure looks impressive :)

If you get some time can you put up some more pic's of your boat on the site.

I love looking at other guys boat setups almost as much as looking in other peoples tackle boxes..........and you can put all those naughty thoughts right out of your heads people !!!

DaveW. How do you re-size pics to post. I have some shots of my boat I would like to display but they are at about 2.1mb.
Any help appreciated.....

I use Paint Shop Pro - it's got a great resize and optimization function, you don't loose as much quality as some programs;)

You can send the pics to me if you like and I'll do a resize, just P.M. me and I'll send you the address:)

If you look at a few of the recent posts (can't remember which forum) there is a free package you can download.

Otherwise, feel free to send them my way as well. bear@aussiebear.com

Here's the one:

It does the job O.K. but can tend to loose a lot of quality if you don't have the settings spot on - at least it's free :D

I've been using Paint Shop Pro since I asked the same question last week and I like it now, its so much easier (for me) that Photoshop and as Dave said the Image sizing tool is very easy to use.

Don't forget about being able to lighten and darken your images.

look under:

colour\adjust\contrast,brightness

Most good programs also give you a preview of how it's going to turn out before you actually do it - saves using the 'undo' option:D

Dave,

I rarely fiddle with the settings - I just specify the new size I want. If the image needs editing to improve quality, lighten, darken etc etc, I use Photoshop 7.

I can honestly say that in 18 months or so of use that I haven't been disappointed in the output of IrfanView.

There is lots of free image ehancement software around. Have a look at www.mediachance.com (choose the Free Tools link and then digital camera tools). Some of the stuff in there is magic.

Anyone here with a digital camera should have a look at that stuff - well worthwhile.

We'll give this re-size a go.....

Well that worked sort of....how the hell did that happen. I am pulling out what little hair I have left.
Any ideas?

Bubble,
First of all you should be using jpg instead of bmp format.

Secondly, when you do the image size is smaller and you can have a 500x? or ?x500 max size image. What I mean is that the max any side can be is 500.

I have attached your image.

Do me a favour and send me the original.

Thanks for the help with the pics Bear. If ever I can help? with anything let me know.

Great to see a bunch of what could loosely be described as a bunch of fishing amateurs helping each other out.
They'll be no stopping me now.....

It'd look even better with a huge breammaster.com sticker down the sides...LOL

The ones like Dave's (his were a couple of prototypes I had done up) are available, but I've got to order 20 and they are $20 each including GST. They are 1200mm long (approx four times the size of the other stickers available).

Let me know whose interested and I'll get them cut out. They are laser cut from long life vinyl so they should last for ages.

Yikes! My boat's not that long, Warren!! I'd have to start it near the front and wrap it around the bow. :D

i got mine done by a sticker making place that does vinyl stickers up.. mine cost $130 because they are 1 meter by 30cm long/wide .. any stripe pro shop.. or sign writer can help you.. most these days have vinyl cutting machines and can design up what you want on the spot
