Resizing Photos - Quick Method

[Gregg Machel]

Here is an easy way to do proto re-sizing automatically:

1. Copy the picture to your HD.
2. Go to Windows Explorer and right click on the image(s).
3. Select Send to - Mail Recipient.
4. Windows will prompt you, asking if you want to reduce the image size. Say yes.
5. This will open a new email with the image(s) as an attachment.
6. Highlight the image(s) and copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the image(s) from the email to a new folder on your HD (i use the same folder as the original and then a sub-directory called "reduced").
7. Upload that file to your image bucket account, webserver, or whatever you use.

This will give you a consistent photo size that is perfect for a message board, and it only takes a minute or so to do. A lot faster than editing it in Photoshop or whatever you use.

Another option I saw in the Sac Bee by Jim Coates is to download IMAGE RESIZER from MICROSOFT.COM/DOWNLOADS. Search there for POWERTOYS, download and install it. Then right-click on your picture, choose RESIZE PICTURE, then choose size you want (640x480). It's pretty slick. Ross Boehm

Hi Gregg,

Another resizing program, that I use, is Irfanview. Very handy.

Thanks for your work here, Gregg.

I resized my photo as suggested at this site and the file size reduced to 45.1 KB but your website didn't like the number of pixels either horiz or vert. I have 680 X 460 and my computer says reducing to the required 105 X 105 pixels leaves my photo about the size of my shirt pocket, and, of course, my photo includes a fish much bigger than that! Any ideas for a minimally able computer person?

Marc,
Send me the photo via email and I will make it 105x105 for you. Just remind me of the size you need in the email. This just takes me a minute to do using Photoshop. Send to: gregg@kiene.com

here is a great resizer. You can resize individual pics or , what I love, when you get a cd from developing a roll of film you can resize the whole lot at one shot! pretty cool if you happen to have to shoot a roll of film because you forgot your didgital and had to buy a throw away at the am/pm on the way up to fish. Oh yah it's free!
