Is there no program that can focus the image better? I'm mainly looking for a freebie program that focus' the pictures. I have IrfanView right now but it doesnt really do what I want. And, just for conformation, I've read that the higher resolution of the picture, the more you can zoom in and not lose quality? Is this true? If you are running .NET Framework 1.1 you may find the following free program to be useful: Paint.NET http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/ Also, you may find other useful choices at the following link: http://www.softpedia.com/catList/75,1,1,1.html Yes, higher resolution images can be cropped to smaller sizes and still be visually acceptable. There are samples of images from many different cameras at the following site. I suggest that you download an assortment and experiment with them. http://www.steves-digicams.com For example...the two following links are images of the same building but the first was taken with a 1MP Canon PowerShot A30 (1280x960) and the second was taken with a 5MP Canon PowerShot S50 (2592x1944).

I'm downloading it as I type this. But one question so that I can get right to work... What can I click on in the program to focus the image? > If you are running .NET Framework 1.1 > you may find the following free program [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > > higher resolution of the picture, the more you can zoom in and not lose > > quality?

The out of focus image is what was recorded by the sensor in the camera and that is all you get. You can as John pointed out "sharpen" the image. This works by sharpening the line borders between contrasting colors. In affect it changes the data that was captured but does not change the focus. This does make the image look more in focus (unless you sharpen too much) but in reality you are loosing some of the data recorded by the camera.

All that focusing and bouncing an image off 36 walls and viewing it from a camera 30 miles away won't work?! That sucks! LOL! > Technically you can't "focus" an image after the fact.
