You first need to select the image (or the folder that contains the images you want to resize). Then, select the size and quality you want for the resized images. Here are a couple of suggestions: if the images are portraits and you need to mail them, a width of 450 to 500 pixels is more than enough, with a quality setting of around 80 to 85% (of the original image). If the images are landscapes, you might want them a little bigger and of better quality than portraits. (Remember that these are not hard rules.)

Once you get the hang of the application, you'll be able to select the appropriate image sizes and output quality more easily. The ideal values would depend on the kind of pics you're converting.

Once you're done setting the image size and output quality, click on "Resize Photos Now". The resized images will now be saved in a sub-folder named "small photos" (in the same directory as that of the originals).



If you need to store the images in a different location, you can enter a full path in the options window. Here, you can also assign a prefix and/or suffix to the names of the resized images.



Apart from resizing images, PhotoRazor lets you rotate them +/- 90 or 180 degrees. You can also convert color images to Black & White, and also give them a tint of any color you want.

Try shrinkpic also a very small utility. It sits in your tray You do not need to resize your photos prior to sending them. Just select and attach them to your mail. Let the photo be of any size. Depending on the option you selected (there are three options to resize) it automatically shrinks your photo attaches to the mail with almost 100% clarity and quality and sends it. And it never alters the original image and the original photo will be intact. About the resources it uses, techtree only has to test it.

Picasa does the resizing just as well, i find it even simpler than Irfan view and just about everyone can learn its features in no time...a much better option i would say!

Irfanview does the resizing and batch processing just as well, is just as easy to install, and is far more efficient... er .. and it also does 2 million other things!

Win XP has it's own Photo Resizer.....in-built and integrated into Explorer...just takes a few mouse clicks and some more geeky knowledge to actually show it...but nonetheless very useful.
