I need to reverse my conclusion on this. Fuddy would easily have fit inside a standard coffin. Turns out that Microsoft Word totally changed the proportions when I rotated the image.

If you’ve got Word, could you guys put an image into a Word document while having gridlines visible (go to View and check on Gridlines), count the squares for the height and width, and then rotate it and see if it mangles the proportions? As I said when I corrected my conclusion in the post on my blog and in the new post I posted to make sure everybody saw it, either Microsoft Word is a pile of crap or else my computer has been messed with again. sigh. What a waste of a day.

I have asked the moderator to correct the original post here to include the correction so nobody will be confused by this. My apologies to all.

Lucy and nully, if you could ping your lists to this post I’d appreciate it. Thanks.

As I said in the correction on my blog and will hopefully be able to add to this post here too: I still don’t believe Fuddy was in that casket, because the image of her in the casket had to be photoshopped by KITV. And there’s more too, but first I need to find out if I can trust anything on my computer. sigh.

Please do let me know if you have this problem with Word. It’ll help me know where I need to go from here.

Use Gimp to process your images.

It is free. And is an excellent photo editor. It is available in Windows and Linux formats.

There are other good image viewing programs if you want something lighter and quicker. If interested I will look up the options for you. I have used a couple of them.

If you do mass image manipulation there is a great command line tool called Image Magic. A super fast powerful program.

See post 83. I told you your proportions were in error.

Word is not meant for image manipulation.

Clumsy tradecraft kills your credibility.

Don't take this personally - but maybe you don't know what you're doing.

Like using word processing software as image processing software.
