imrsalas Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Does anyone know a link for the resizing tool in windows XP so that I do not have to over crop my pictures to be uploaded onto Photo.net. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendel_leisk Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 You'll likely want an image of viewer of some sort besides what's included in windows. They typically include a resize function. This one is around $50: http://www.acdsee.com/ (I'm happy with an older release of the above: less cluttered, runs a little faster, essentially the same, for what I use it for) This one I believe is free: http://www.irfanview.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acbeddoe Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 If you have Microsoft Office, then you have Picture Manager, a handy picture editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kari v Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Irfanview is free, light, fast and absolutely glutter free. It can use lanczos for resizing which seems to be doing good job and there's also batch conversion. I've used it for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imrsalas Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Thank you all for the help. I use a few tools to crop but the XP Powertools was the tool that I was looking for which I read about previously. Thanks so much for everyone that posted to this thread.

john_vance Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Here is another freebee that works very well. http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffs1 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Another vote for Irfanview. I use it often when I need to downsize a hi-res file to "screen-size". Getting the sharpening to look good requires a bit of playing around, but once you get it right the "Sharpen" menu item works like a charm.

becks_panno Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Great advice. I needed something like this as well. Sometimes it pays to surf. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
