I just installed this tool on my wife's laptop and it has made my life a lot easier. I thought that it would help out some of the folks here too that are having a difficult time resizing photos so that they can upload them to the forum.

It woks very simply. After you have installed the tool, when you right-click on a picture file you will now see an option that says "Resize Pictures". It then gives you the options of Small, Medium, Large, Handheld or Custom. If will then create a copy of the original picture resized to your specifications.

It works well, is always available and you don't need to learn a new application.

Hey, you have 914 posts.

You have too much time on your hands to notice that. Or is it just a Sunday morning thing.

Well, I looked up to see who posted it, and the 914 caught my eye.

Paul,
thanks for the link.

I just added a new topic in the FAQ forum with brief directions.

Infranview is pretty easy to use, even if it's "learning a new app"

plus, it's free, has a bunch of plug-ins and can correct for my crappy picture taking techniques (haphazardly pointing and holding clicky button)

I have corrected a pretty mean green glare from the tiger viewing area at the SF Zoo, and some crappy flourescent lighting at my friend's swearing in ceremony with Iview and I'm more than happy. Heck, I haven't touched photoshop in years because of it.

but I have XP and I'm sending your link to all my buddies with XP.
