Resizing Photos - nick crisp - 23-10-13
A lot of my photos aren't accepted on various sites and need to be resized apparently. Anybody know how I do this?

Nick I'm crap at anything IT related, but I googled free photo resizer, and got a lite version that works perfectly. Can't remember the name of it and don't use the laptop now just the iPad so dunno what it's called but there's lots mate

Try this natty bit of software.
Will resize single photos or do batches to verious sizes.

I've used it for years and is very easy to use. Alternatively Adobe Photoshop has a similar batch handling engine.

Cheers Kosmic, but before I try it, I do have a photobucket account. Pics come up size 1024 x 768 or thereabouts in resize window, anybody know what kind of dimensions I need to go down to, to get photos accepted? Sorry, I am the techno-dimwit I appear to be :rolleyes

I use this one; http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/
I set the pixels at 800x600 on most forums..
Re: Resizing Photos - nick crisp - 23-10-13
Can it be done just on the computer rather than in photo dedicated site?

If i want to resize 1 or 2 pics i use MS paint. just open the picture, Go to 'resize' and i tend to do 50%. you can specify pixels but you may mess the ratio up.
Also the added bonus is most cameras capture n raw and are fairly large. simply opening them and saving them will compress them.
for doing batches of pics I use this app http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDownload.htm

I found if I reset the pixels on one dimension, it automatically resets the other, retaining the original ratio. I also made sure to create a copy to edit, in case there's ever any reason to use the original size.

I recommend this one too. It will add a context option in windows explorer allowing you to resize an image with a single click without modifying the original. Brilliant.
