Title: Picture re-sizing.
Post by: davethebirdman on June 13, 2008, 08:59:09 am

Hi Guys

my computer went bang and I have had to buy a new one... Don't like this vista much..

Anyway sometime ago someone posted a really good tool to down size pictures. I think it might be a microsoft add on.

Could that person plse post the link again... I want to post soem pictures but they are too large. Previously I just had to right click and it gave me the option to lower the size...

Cheers

Dave

Dave,
Right-click on the picture icon and click open with MS Picture Manager.
Then click the 'Picture' menu on the toolbar and then Resize - it opens up several resizing options.

I think what you are looking for is Image Resizer from Microsoft (if you are running XP).  You can resize a bunch of pictures at the same time.  It's about 2/3 of the way down on this page (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx).

Fear not Dave, there are options. Not a MS powertoy, but  a photo sizer nonetheless, and with decent reviews...
