APPLICATION No. 2 Image Resizing.

Most of us have a digital camera now.
How about when you try to send your images to someone, especially when you want to send several at the same time.

You sit and wait for the file transfer to take place only to find that your ISP sends a return that the file size is to large, or you might be on a limited upload/download package. Very frustrating and time wasting.

PIXresizer is a free image resizer. I use PIXresizer to easily create web and e-mail friendly versions of images with reduced file sizes. The reduced files are saved in a different folder, so your original images are not altered at all.

PIXresizer offers several different resizing methods to choose from and can automatically recognize image sizes to calculate the best fit. In addition, it can convert between image formats (JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG and TIFF), rotate images, convert to grayscale and resize multiple images in batch mode.

I send images to all of my friends or relatives all over the world which they can download without having to wait for ever for the transfer to complete.

Again this is a free download and well worth playing around with.

If you post your images to the BB the file size is reduced and will load much quicker on the board.

  4. This sounds very interesting Roger, I will most likely give this a try as I had problems like you have pointed out when trying to send photo's to Paul Stretton for entry in to the Household Cavalry Journal this time, Cheers . I have downloaded the other one that you put up on the board and have tried that one out and I have found it to be good at sorting out the computer and speeding it up.

  5. Just a quick word about the image resizing.
    You do not lose any of the image that you process, what happens is the pixel size within the image is enlarged. Therefore the image cannot be enlarged to much without loosing the quality and clarity. Give it a try to see what pixelization would be to use for the device you use to make the image.
    Some cameras will reproduce an image with 10 million pixels per image, so if you want to send via email etc it might be to large for your ISP to handle.
    Also if you scan pictures to upload to a BB try to use no more than 600 dpi, then you can resize and check the standard of reproduction before you post.
