Canon Powershot S60 question...

Sep 21, 2004 3:23AM PDT

I recently purchased a Canon Powershot S60 and I am very pleased with the photos I take. My question is this: Is there any way to change a picture that has been taken and then save it in that setting? I am trying to zoom in and/or center objects in a picture that was taken already and then save that change, effectively blowing up the picture on the camera and saving it that way before I download and view it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't think any camera includes such edit

abilities although things move fast these days. Photo manipulation is done in a photo editor which can crop, enlarge, reduce, and many other things depending on the editor's sophistication.

I have not heard of a camera that will let you do that in the camera.

You can download the original photo to your computer and them "crop" the part of the photo you want, using the software that came with the camera.

You draw a rectangle around the part of the photo that you want to use. The "crop" command will remove the rest of the picture and just leave what is in the rectangle. You then resize the rectangle to the size you want.

The help section of the software will tell you how to "crop" a photo.

Be sure to save the results with a different name to prevent overwriting your original.
