About Us

Here at Prescott eNews, we think there's a lot going on in the Prescott quad-city area. And, yes, we know that bad news happens, but we also know that a lot more good news happens. So, we intend to tell lots of good news, while not ignoring the bad news. 

Although there are some online news sites for the Prescott area, there aren't many that seem to take advantage of the medium of the internet. Here at Prescott eNews, we know the difference between putting a book or a newspaper online, and using the Internet to its full potential. And we think it's time that a quality news website makes its home in Prescott, Arizona.

How Old Are You?

Ssshhhh...! Don't tell anyone, but we launched our beta site in June, 2007. So, yeah, we're the new kid on the block. Well, at least for this particular site. But, our staff has been designing websites for nearly 10 years, and are also accomplished Photoshop digital artists, writers, photographers and design instructors. What all that means is that just because this particular site is new, it doesn't mean that we don't know what we're doing.

Please use the contact form to send all comments and suggestions. We look forward to hearing from you.

From Prescott eNews - Optimize Your Photos! PDF Print E-mail
Written by Lynne LaMaster

photoedit2.jpgHave you ever tried to send a photo through an email, only to have it sent back because it's too big? Ever wished you could sharpen an image a bit? Maybe play a little bit with the color?

Of course, if you have Photoshop, all that stuff is a breeze. But, most people don't want to pony up for Photoshop and it's hefty pricetag. So, Prescott eNews has a great deal for our readers. And it's free!

About Your Photos

Today's digital cameras take create photos that are pretty big in file size - sometimes as much as 5 MB. That will cause most email programs to choke. It will also create problems if you want to upload it to a website. So, you need to optimize your photos - which means to reduce the file size. You will also probably need to make the dimensions smaller, too.

Enter the online Prescott eNews Photo Editor . Webresizer.com has graciously allowed Prescott eNews to offer their software to our readers. Loud applause!

All you have to do is pull up the Photo Editor , and then upload your image from your computer. There are several features you can play with, and once you have the photo to your liking, you can download it back to your hard drive. 

We are just launching this feature today, so if you have any problems, please drop us an email, and we'll pass it on.

In the meantime, enjoy! 

PS Just thought we'd remind you, Prescott eNews loves receiving stories from Citizen Reporters - and this is a perfect tool for preparing your photos for news stories! Citizen Reporters get their own byline, and also the opportunity to tell the stories they want to share with the world!
