Re-sizing

[Waka]

Quite a few months ago I had trouble re-sizing my photo's for the forum.

Some kind soul gave me a website address to download, unfortunately while I was away HID's got a virus and had to completely wipe the computer clean. Alas I didn't take the address of this website.

If that kind soul is still out there, could I trouble you for the address again.

Many thanks and this time I will write it down for posterity.

Waka,

Here is an idea from Tony, if you are using Windows XP it should work for you.

Followed the instructions but it didn't work for me. I am running XP but I'm probably doing something wrong, any ideas?

Waka,

Download this program http://www.irfanview.com/ and use that. It is an amazing FREE piece of software.

Just ctrl-R and after inputting your desired size save the image under a new name if you don't want to replace the existing one. The program does much else besides.

I've never tried that trick from Tony, but you can download the update to allow XP to do this from here:

Another handy tool is picturetray:

Just drag files into the in tray, specify output options and copy files from the outbox to your application. All temporary files are then deleted.
Cheers

I resize my Photographs in Paint shop Pro. go >Image information>look at what you have got>go Resize and change picture to 72pixels and size you require>save as >options>select medium to high compression>then click OK to save. You will get the sized picture you want and good for posting.
If you still want your old posted thread I will look through my postings but you should be able to go back through the uk archives.
