Sometimes when I save an image from the net, I'll go back to look at the picture later and the image will be alot smaller than when I originally saved it. When I enlarge it in my viewing program the image is very pixilated and useless.
Is there any way when viewing the image later on that I can see it at the size I saved it or how can I enlage the saved image to a useful size?
Hope this makes sense!
Thanks for your patience

I think your problem mayde because you've either:
1) downloaded a pic from a site that has some dumb copy-prevention-doo-hikkeys. You save a pic, but it appears as only as a micro copy (like 10x10)
or
2) you saved the thumbnail pic instead of the linked picture. If you select "save image as.." you're saving the thumbnail, not the picture it's linked to.

I hope this is of any help.

What I do is copy the image and paste it into "paint" or some other programme, even word. Then save that image.
