Resize pics in Vista

Post by thewolfe »

I'd like a right-click option to resize in Vista.

I was going to use PowerToys but no go for Vista.

Are you speaking of photo editing (IE: From a digital camera?)

If so Windows Live Photo Gallery isn't half bad. I've used the Windows 7 version to crop our wedding pictures.

The GIMP or Photoshop would be excellent for photo retouching and resizing. Windows seems to do a decent job but I'd rather get a program made to do it rather than use a feature of an OS.

Depends whether the feature's good enough. If you're doing retouching, it certainly isn't, I don't think.

I don't want anything other than a quick re-sizing to send as an e-mail attachment.

The Powertoy utility is perfect.

It's never good to wake up in the shrubs naked, you either got way too drunk, or your azz is a werewolf.

There are ways to get some XP Powertoys to install in Vista/Win7/etc. Depending on which tool you want to install look it up on google.

Krom, did you change your avatar or have you always been that scary?

I've always been this scary. :twisted:

Yeah, I felt it was time to change my avatar so I went looking for something new and snapped this out of a series. It just happens to fit with the season right now, which I kinda like so I might dig up some vaguely themed avatars later... :P

OK, at least I'm paying attention.
