Trying again, John Underhill Pheasant Pen and Photo Practice

[dudstuen]

Hi, This is my first John Underhill Pheasant blank I turned. Trying to practice my photography and down loading pic's here. These photo's are my uncropped ones. My cropped ones will not download. When I crop the and save them they show up as a pdd file instead of a JPG file. Has to be something on my end? Any help ideas, I appreciate.

That is an really cool blank. It made for an outstanding pen. I'll have to looking in to getting one of those blanks.

What program are you using for cropping?

Bound to be someone here who uses the same software and can tell you how to convert to jpg.

 

[dudstuen]

I'm using Adobe Photo Deluxe, But I am open to anything better to replace it. I have had adobe awhile and maybe it's time to change up. ?

Most Adobe products will have a Save for Web or Save As that will allow you to save to other formats.

I don't use this software, but if "save as" doesn't give you format options, look for "export".

 

[rholiday]

Don't have the software, but you might want to try the 'export' command. should be able to save as a jpeg.

That is a fantastic pen. In Adobe when you finish your trimming work and press save it takes you to a dialog box, and by default the save extension is a photoshop format, but there is a drop down box with numerous selections, and you simply choose JPEG and put the file name and it allows you to save it. This is how it is in photoshop by adobe. Where did you get the blank from? Its awesome, great fit and finish. Superb outcome

Not sure if they have any in stock. John's blanks are easy to turn.
