I am set on an image but it's too big. I would be more than grateful for some tips. Also I have recently bought a d50 6.1 mp cam for higher quality pics but having alot of trouble focusing the lens at such short distance(I have 18-55 and wide angle lenses). TIPS...PLEEEEASE!!!

A good program to resize pics is called Irfanview.

As for the camera, with an 18-55mm lens you should be able to take pictures from as close as 10 inches of a subject. To get closer to a subject, you'l need to either use a close-up accessories(extension tubes or close-up lenses which look like clear filters) with your normal lens, or consider using a true macro lens.

Does your camera have auto-focus???

On my Canon Digital Rebel there is a setting for manual or auto focus. With it set to auto, you push the button half way and the camera focuses the lens for you.

Do you use a tripod??

Hope some of this helps
