any way to convert vertical pic to horizontal without loosing too much in size?

Hello,

Sorry if my questions seam stupid.

When I tale digital photo with my camera in vertical position and
later I rotate it horizontally, I notice that a lot is lost in photo
size as displayed on the TV set.

Is there a way to try to fullfill as much as possible the TV screen ?

What software and steps should I follow to process the pic ?

Thanks,

Mario

rotate the TV set instead?!? ;-D

Mario,

If I understand the question/problem correctly, the answer is basically no.
One has to consider the aspect ratio of the image's intended use. The same
thing happens when one shoots a vertical image, which is to be projected onto
a horizontal screen. You either loose top, and/or bottom due to crop, if you
fill the horizontal, or you have blank space on one/both sides, if you fill
the heigth of the screen. It's like shooting a building with a 1:15 aspect
ratio, and wanting to fill an 8x10 (4:5 aspect ratio) page, crop out
foreground and sky, but not have borders - it cannot be done. You will always
have a 1:15 within the 4:5. Frame your images for the aspect ratio of your TV,
which will always be horizontal, unless you take Dps' suggestion of turning
your TV on its side, which is not usually recommended. :-}

The only effective way is to crop the vertical picture into horizontal
format of at least to a square image.

Of course you could get a bigger TV...

Anyone who is displaying digital pictures on a TV doesn't care much for
resolution anyway.
