Picture of a picture?

On my old Sony I could view a picture taken and enlarge it and take a picture of the picture --- can I do this with my SD600?

Are you talking about cropping it and creating a new picture? Some cameras have this feature.

The SD600 does come with some editing features, sure. But the SD1000 has replaced it.

I know the Olympus SP-550UZ does just that, as well as several other photo editing features.

What you're describing is digital zoom, which is basically cropping, as James said. Specifically what the camera does with digital zoom is, it doesn't take a new picture, but it blows up the one you took, then lets you save the blown-up version (thus cropping out the sides and enlarging the middle). People aren't really crazy about this feature because you do lose image quality when you use it, but it can be helpful.

The SD600 does have digital zoom (4x, which is about the limit of what you'd want to use). To be honest, I have no idea how to go about saving the photo once you've digitally zoomed it, but there probably is a way to do so.

Of course, you can always just do this with photo editing software once you've downloaded the photo. Another reason people aren't too crazy about having digital zoom.

I could do it on my Sony camera, but have what I consider a better camera SD600, and cannot figure how to view a picture and enlarge(crop it) and take another picture and print it-? There may be a way to do it - is not what I am looking for... sorry!
