shrinking pictures

Does anyone know why my pictures are getting blurry when I try to shrink them down to E-mail size. I'm using the finepix viewer program that came with my camera. I shrunk one down to use as my avatar but it was to small to see because it was a distance shot. When I tried to get it back to the original size it was blurry. I had to delete it and am going to try to reload it .The original picture was really clear. I took the dimensions of the original picture and typed it in but it didn't work. :x Learning to do this stuff drives me nuts.

Everytime that you manipulate the size of a photo, it degrades it a little. Once something was made small and was saved at that resolution/size/dpi, making it big again at good clarity is almost impossible. When you shrink it, how are you doing it? Is there a transform option? Do you have to enter new dimensions? Are you changing the resolution? All those things can matter. I'm a graphic desiger but I work in Photoshop so I don't know how your particular camera software acts. There is a free 30 day trial of Photoshop that you can download and that will give you a lot more flexibility but, if you're new, might just be more confusing!
Just so that you don't forever lose the quality of the original photo.... when you are working with a pic, and you change it, save it under a different file name, so that you still have the original untouched, and the newer versioan saved with a different name. That gives you a chance to play around with the photos without worrying what you will do to them.
