Microsoft has a Powertoy utility called ImageResizer which is available here

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx and

will resize picture file by about 90%. The file name is

ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe and it is very useful not only for making

picture files smaller (i.e., a 698KB jpg was resized to 56KB) to send to the

list but also requires far less disk space for all those pictures we take of

out projects. It works well, is very fast, and the pictures look very good

after being compressed. All you do is select the picture file or files,

right click, select resize and in a few seconds you have a copy of the file

reduced in file while the original is not altered.

Microsoft.. Ick!

 

 Actually, I use Linux most of the time (even at work - we find it much more reliable for our medical devices that are used in the O.R. - Would you want a blue screen to happen there? ). 

 

 There's a nice little tool to do the same thing, but gives you much more control over the process. for those so interested:

 (Those who want to try Linux without installing anything, there's a complete CD that you can boot to and it will give you a full system without touching your hard drive. http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html)

 

 mogrify(1)                                                          mogrify(1)

 

 NAME

        mogrify  -  resize  an  image,  blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on,

        flip, join, re-sample, and much more. Mogrify overwrites  the  original

        image file, whereas, convert(1) writes to a different image file.

 

 SYNOPSIS

        mogrify [options] input-file

 

 OVERVIEW

        The  mogrify  program is a member of the ImageMagick(1) suite of tools.

        Use it to resize an image, blur,  crop,  despeckle,  dither,  draw  on,

        flip,  join,  re-sample,  and  much more. This tool is similiar to con-

        vert(1) except the original image file is overwritten with any  changes

        you request.

 

        For  more  information about the mogrify command, point your browser to

        file:///usr/share/doc/ImageMagick-6.2.5/www/morify.html              or

        http://www.imagemagick.org/script/mogrify.php.

 

        Run â to get a summary of the mogrify command options.

So, your suggestion is to reboot the computer to linux every time we want to resize a picture?  J  I agree that Linux can be great and is usually (OK, maybe always) more stable, but there is a good reason that some-very-high-percentage of computers in the world run Windows.  

   

Kind of like the comparison between the Lancair and RV-10.  The Lancair may be considered by many to be a better plane, but there is a reason (beyond just marketing) that the -10 has sold 700 kits in 3.5 years.  Is there any other model of experimental that can boast this?  

   

Do not archive.

Jesse,

    No No No No! That is *NOT* what I said. I said *I* use Linux. There 

may be others out there who want to try it, but why try it without a 

purpose?



    If we shouldn't share ideas, why even have this list?



    Linux is not for everyone. Windows is not for everyone.



-Jim 40384 do not archive, do not flame, but do share your thoughts

Another option that I use is IRFAN.  A very good piece of freeware for 

photoediting and handling tasks.  Seems to have very compact code with 

lot's of function and little overhead.  My default photo viewer.  Just 

Google it if you want to take a look.
