I am using Microsoft Digital image standard 2006, but I think I may have different program, but this one seems to be the best. The problem is when I download my pics from my digital camera they are about 1200 pixels...when i resize the image down to about 600 the photo in turn either blurs or turns grainy....I was trying to convert one of my photos to B&W but when i resize it and then change it, it looks just terrible.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all
