Sheila, thanks for this info. May I ask you a question that I posed on a Canon forum. I have a Canon Elph, not my choice for a camera but it was a gift from my daughters for Christmas. The problem I am having is that it takes large pics in the 3mb range. I do sell on the Lily Auction and they require pics to be no more than 80kb. I take close up pics but by the time I crop them to get to 80kb, I loose most of the pic or it becomes blurry. After reading your post, I am thinking, like you mentioned, that I am getting too close to the flower when I take a pic, and that is the reason when I crop that I loose a lot of my flower pic. On several pics that I have cropped, I end up getting just the center of the flower and hardly any of the petals in able to get it to 80kb or under. Am I correct in assuming, like you mentioned, that I need to not get so close to the flower when I take a pic so that it leaves me with more room to crop??? Your help will be most appreciated!!!
