Rep Power: 142 | | An easy way to resize images..
Hey everyone. I am not sure how many computer savvy people are on the site, but there is a really good FREE add on for Windows XP available from Microsoft that lets you resize your pics quite easily right in window explorer by right clicking on them. No need to even open another program. I use it quite a bit when I post here and I do not need to edit in Photoshop or GIMP. (I usually resize to 1024 x 768 for posting here so it fits in most browsers..)
Anywho.. hope this is helpful for someone. Here is a link to the power toys homepage... look for the "image resizer" a little ways down. There are also a few other great add ons there too. Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP

Thanks very much GG. I have used the viewer which comes with my camera and have liked it. I will enjoy having a new option.

Microsoft, is getting scary, be careful with this new software, may be part of the patroit act, taking info from your pic along w/ your IP and storing in some national security database..
****I woke up feeling paranoid today, and comment should only be taken as a joke, unless you are paranoid too...LoL****
