- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Well I changed cameras from a Panasonic DMC-FX07 to a Sigma DP-1. The File sizes for the panasonic range from 2mb to 4mb roughly double what the Sigma produces. Even-though the Sigma has 14 megapixel and the panasonic has only 7.
The photo dimensions are larger for the panasonic (usually 3072x2304) than the Sigma (2640x1760). Of course the photos taken with the sigma are far superior (and can be enlarged much more before becoming distorted), but it just perplexes me to no end. How can a larger picture be of poorer quality when it was taken at those dimensions? Does the difference in saving a photo in raw or jpeg account for any size difference? sorry for the long first post, but any help is appreciated
