Dick - Welcome! Very nice figure! You're not alone in struggling with the pics! I refer you to Quang, who is very knowledgeable about digital cameras and photo software. I just sort of stumble along in his footsteps!
Basically you probably need a photo software program to adjust picture size and resolution and color. If you don't have a tripod for your digital camera, that may come in handy also. If you don't use a tripod, holding the camera steady enough to get a well-focused clear image is problematic. Good luck and look forward to seeing more stuff from you!
All the best,
Dan
