Why are my pictures so small?

[MiiLovely]

I think I may have figured it out. I downloaded my Ad8 photoshop onto this laptop and I can get them (the proper size) if I save them as a jpg or tiff , open photoshop then open them through photoshops file (the shortcut Ive been trying to do doesnt work and it says the file type isnt supported by photoshop but it lets me open it if I do it straight through photoshop) if any of that makes sence lol.. so thank you but I think I have figured it out

GIMP will not open any raw file format.

But there are free Raw converters online that compliment GIMP that can open raw files - like IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide

don't know if this helps but you can download Picassa3 for free and it will open your RAW files and allow you to edit them in any way you want; and save them as Jpegs if you choose.
I know it can all be very confusing. I had a heck of a time figuring out how to get pictures from my camera to my computer too when I first started shooting digital. It'll come to ya. Be patient.
Out of curiousity, why are you downloading from your camera to the computer rather than simply plugging in your memory card to the computer ?

Well, there ya go. two endorsements. It's actually Picasa3 that I use. It's fairly straightforward and intuitive. You should have no trouble getting good results with it. And best of all it is free.
