Hey - favor to ask.

I don't have a program on my PC capable of resizing images (that I know of, anyway). If I send half a dozen pictures to someone (2048 x 1536 or so), would someone mind resizing them for me?

Thanks.

Paint will do that. Irfanview will do it better.

I don't think I have Paint ...

Posted by Mighty Blogger Snay (Member # 411) on :

Oh, maybe I do ...

Posted by Mighty Blogger Snay (Member # 411) on :

Ok, I do have paint, but it isn't resizing the pictures. Fucking thing.

Posted by Mighty Blogger Snay (Member # 411) on :

Grrr. Okay, so here's what happens - I open the file I want to resize with paint. I select image -> attributes -> resize. I choose to resize to 409 x 307. Suddenly just the upper left hand corner of the image is left (at its original size) and the rest of the image is just gone. WTF?

download the free full trial of paintshop pro from jasc.com. It lasts for 60 days. If you want to use it longer just turn back your clock! [Big Grin]

Or just download Irfanview. It lasts as long as you want it to.

Or GIMP! [Big Grin]

He probably already has a bunch of files titled "gimp" on his harddrive....movies and the like, I'd imagine. [Wink]

"WTF?"

Don't use attributes/resize. Use stretch/skew instead.

Or, y'know, download a program that isn't crap.

Posted by Mighty Blogger Snay (Member # 411) on :

Ah, thank you Cartman - Paint Help said attributes/resize. $&^@!@#^%@$^

SeaoioHabosa? My mother was a saint! What was I thinking, talking you into taking those Esperanto-classes??? [Frown]

You should download Irfanview anyway. It does batch processing, and about six billion other things. Except actually manipulate pixels, of course.
