For some years I've used free software called VSO Image Resizer with Vista and it has worked perfectly. It's now available as Light Image Resizer and it works with everything from XP to Windows 8. http://www.obviousidea.com/windows-software/light-image-resizer/ Phil. |

I just use MS Paint, selecting the whole image and using the Image>Stretch tool to reduce what I've grabbed off my camera to about 60%, which seems about right. I can't seem to get the hang of PhotoBucket's re-sizer Andy |

Ms paint stretch is about the clumsiest tool you could imagine for re-sizing, and the file sizes aren't great either. XP powertoys does work on some other windows systems but later versions have it built-in anyway. It really is very good for doing batches. I was running out of disk space on my works laptop and realised that I had thousands of 4000x3000 images taking up a lot of room. I re-sized the lot to 1024x768 changing the filesize from 4.5MB to around 150K and freed up about 8GB of space. |

MTPaint is free for downloading, and works on both Microsoft and Linux OS's. http://mtpaint.sourceforge.net/ How hard is it? To resize an image, open the image, Click Image>Scale Canvas, and enter 640. if you want it 640 pixels wide). Then save the image. Done. Want to crop it first? Before scaling just place the cursor on one corner of what you want, hold down the mouse button and stretch to the other corner. Then click Image>Crop. Then scale. Done. |
