    I have taken pics with my digital camera. I think i prob used the dreaded digital zoom and the quality of them is quite crap basically!! Does anyone know how i can sharpen these items up..is there any free software i can get off the web? I am sure photoshop is an option but i dont have the funds to buy this or the experience to use it.
    Thanks in advance.

    not really, you could only sharpen them with Ps or something, but still that wont make them much better.

    For a free alternative to photoshop, try The Gimp - available on Windows, MacOS X and Linux, and probably lots of other platforms too.

    Resizing them down might help, the digital zoom basically works by adding in extra pixels so scaling them down could take them out again. Scale them down by the same factor of digital zoom you used, of course this'll lead to a smaller picture, but it should look much sharper. Result may vary according to the program you use, two free ones to try would be the Gimp linked above and IrFanView (in the free software sticky).
