Windows XP Image Resizing Tool !
 

I still see that alot of people have problems here resizing pictures so they can post them on OSO.

I have been using this tool for a couple years now and it works great. It is a microsoft issued "Powertoy" for XP machines. It integrates itself into XP and is available in the 'menu' when you Right Click any saved picture. It gives you 3 options of small, med., and large. You can also do multiple files at once!! Best part it will rename the file so that you keep your High Resolution version.

Just thought i would share this with you guys.

Here is the link. On the right side is the list of "Powertoys" available for download. It is called Image Resizer and is midway down on the right.

Yep, have to use that all the time here on OSO. So easy. Take all my pictures in high resolution for my uses. Resize, post, then delete resized picts.
But it's even easier on Speeewake cause there it's all done automatically. No resizing on my part needed there. Why can't that be done here?

Re: Windows XP Image Resizing Tool !
 

me thinks I may be slow. I downloaded it, but when i click on it, I only have a readme file. It never gave me an option where to save the program. I ran the setup but can't find the program. Can anyone help?

There is no "program" to "run".

Go to your picture folder e.g. my documents\my pictures\ and locate the picture you want to resize. Right click on the picture and you will see "resize picture". Click this and you will have an option of what size you want. Large works best.

Tips........

When you are in the picture folder, go to the "VIEW" menu up top, and choose "THUMBNAILS". This will let give you a thumbnail view of all the pictures in that folder. Makes it easier to find the pic your looking for.

If you hold the CTRL key down you can click and highlight multiple pictures at a one time. Right click and choose resize....and it will do all that you highlighted at once.

To add to his post, after you selected the new size wanted, it will make a copy of that photo, not replace it. The new picture will be at the end of your pictures in that folder with same name as the original, but will also say (large) afterwards.
