resizing photos

What software do you use to resize photos?

Shawnee123 · 04-19-2010, 12:23 PM

microsoft office pic manager

compress

for web pages

At least it serves the purpose of posting a viewable pic here in the Cellar.

One at a time, to post here.

I like irfanview, because I'm used to it and can do it in a couple seconds with keystroke shortcuts. But it's a pretty basic task and many programs can do it well.

Free IrfanView 4.25 download from CNet: http://download.cnet.com/IrfanView/3...html?tag=mncol

I recently started using the pixelate effect to de-identify HIPAA PHI in presentations.

If you save a pic to your desktop, then right click and "open with ms pic manager" then "edit pictures" on top then "compress pictures" on right side then compress for "web pages" it's so easy you can't even stand it.

Why would you need a whole new program, just to resize for here?

Because shut up.

There was this one guy once who was making fun of everyone hopping on the Other Browser bandwagon. He said the commonly used browser was just fine.

Ha!

No.

MS Paint.

Image --> Stretch/Skew --> Whatever horizontal/vertical percentage is appropriate.

Spexxvet · 04-19-2010, 03:43 PM

The Cellar limit is 122+ k. It would be nice to choose a photo, and tell the software that I want it to be x dimensions, and y file size, and POOF, it would happen. In a free application.

Shawnee123 · 04-19-2010, 03:46 PM

You can do that with ms pic manager too, using resize instead of compress.

I love MS Paint (y'all know I do) but as a re-sizer, it is an artifact machine. I don't "save as" Jpeg with it either.
