can someone help teh mattg?

 

Gimp?

teg, who thinks Jerky knows best.

 

MS Paint?

 

where in paint? i've never been able to find it.

 

if you're in a pinch, you can dowload the trial version of photoshop and resize quickly.


...and happy birthday by the way.

 

i used PAINT to resize my av.... under image you can "stretch/skew" and change the image size by % and u can look @ the attributes which will tell u how many pixels by pixels the image is...

 

thanks buddy

 

 

Adobe Photoshop

meet me in the back alley between ramblings and car talk

 

Picasa

http://www.picasa.com/index.php

Free from Google.

 

mattg - usually when you take pics with a digi your going to want to change it to abou 25% for both

 

zdnet.com they have a bunch of free trials and free shareware etc... you can try that out... i have this photo resizer 1.0 or something at home...

Paint is real easy... but the only problem i sometimes run into is the dumb error message that says "Saving this file as a .jpeg or .gif may alter the color. Continue to save... blah blah blah"


The Picasa thing from google is cool to edit your digi pics... but there is no resize thing... or is there??? i even went to the help thing and search for resize and nothing...

I guess i'll piggy back since i'm looking for a good resize program myself for my work computer...

 

no, you're all wrong!-- easiest and simpliest resizer would the Image Resizer from windows powertoys for XP

I am sure everyone on this board has a copy of adobe pirated not me though

 

That's all I use.

I'm scared of photoshop.

 

the software that came w/ my camera sucks at resizing, the picture either looks like crap or it won't do it at all.

i thought i had paint figured out but the crop feature only seems to work on the right side and the bottom of the picture.

and when i used stretch/scew it cropped the image intstead of resizing.

 

i have all adobe and lots of macromedia and its all paid for... i'm prolly one of a few

 

dear god man!

Ok you go to "Select All"
then you go to stretch/Skew
then you put in how much percentage you want off each side

(IE you want it 20% smaller....write in 80 percent)

the end

 

People do that?

 

agreed that is good and very easy. i use it all the time instead of having to open a program to resize. just right click on the saved image and select what size you want it to resize

 

You must be balling, no way in hell I would pay for those unless I had a business. edit...I mean a FRIEND has all macromedia, 3Dmax, Windows XP pro...its terrible

But I have no idea how to use any of them but photoshop, someone just gave them to me

 

that was actually under attributes when it did that, but it only shows the size in pixels under attributes for me.

stretch/skew size is only shown as a %

 

You mean your friend right.

 

give us the picture...

 

For simple resizing, viewing, croping, and batching, etc...teh ultimate free tool:

IrfanView

 

Right Right I meant friend, damn I get him and me confused sometimes

 

fuk dat mon

 

thanks lung fo mo shi, cor and Handruin.


that's what i was looking for.

 

and thanks for this info

 

Why do you think Adobe hasn't cracked down on all the pirated copies of Photoshop? They are smart people, they can develop some type of product activation.

How else can you get people to adopt such a complicated/feature rich program when a good potion of your prospect users are in highschool early college? I'll even argue pirated copies HELP adobe with sales. What kid/young adult is going to shell out $500 for a copy of a program to learn it in order to get into an industry where he/she will appy it?

Please don't take my argument as justification of stealing, I'm only posing an interesting view on the position of their product.

 

Probably cause you both like to wear makeup.

 

We're 2 for 2 today

That's what I was gonna say

I like the EXIF info plugin too...

 

Or because we both think your dreamy
:gheylaugh:


J/K....or am I?

 

by far the easiest way to resize photos.

 

i'm going to sound like such a dumbass asking this, but...

i successfully installed the MS image resizer, but now i can't find it. where do the XP power toys live?

 

i DL'd irfanview, but i can't find the crop feature.

 

right click on the picture you want to resize... and there is an option for 'resize photo'

you can select as many at a time as you want

 

thanks matt.

 

np matt

 

Select the area you want to keep (click & drag), then it's under edit > crop selection.
