NGC - WIN7 Photo resizer

[ohiorider]

When I 'upgraded' from Windows XP to Windows 7, the one thing I missed was the Microsoft Toy routine that resized pictures, taking those 1 and 2mb files and knocking them down to a couple hundred k for web posting.  I recently found a link for a Windows 7 resizer that works about like the XP version.  I've installed it, and it does a nice job of resizing.  The one feature I don't like is that the resized pics appear in the same folder where you've dumped your large pic files, and I find it easier to drag the smaller files into a new folder for forum posting, emails, etc.  Not a big issue.

Rodekyll and other computer-literate folks here, do you see any problems using this?  You need to click on the 'read more' button to access the link to the program download.

I don't do utoob-type stuff so I can't see what you've posted.

Did you try moving whatever you had been using into W7?  A lot of the XP applets that weren't brought forward to W7 work fine there -- you just have to find their pieces and put them in the same folders on the new computer.

I use Caesium... Open source/free and can do large batches at once...

If you have Microsoft Office you also get MS Office Picture Manager. It gets installed by default. If you have it, try it out, a wonder photo editor that is amazingly simply and effective to use. Cropping and resizing is a couple of clicks. You can do the other routine things like auto adjust and change the contrast/brightness and mess with other things too if you want to go there.

The interface is very slick, typical pull down menu and everything is right there.

You can also open a lot of pictures and then resize all of them at once.

If you have it, give it a try.

Irfan View. XNView. Two free programs that allow resizing the pictures in an easy way.

I used to use a program called PolyView to crop and resize photos.
Now that I have everything upgraded to Windows 8.1, I use "ShareTo:resize".

Doesn't get much easier than this:



3 clicks to resize to most common formats. Undo as many times as you need. Compressing the file size works just as easy. Drop and drag to any other program.

Easier than starting your MG.
