GIMP 2.0

It's free and very functional.

Runs on windows.

Only cavaet is make sure when you install that you don't make it the default for all your file types.

the one I installed is basically a batch processor for resizing, put in what size you want, add the folder and it's done... works very quickly too.

Check the Archival Info forum for a thread on resizing / posting images.

Thanks to all and +T's to all.

I'd be screwed without Photoimpact. It can resize,convert to jpeg interact with scanner+printer,have used it for about 800 CD covers too-while it doesn't do all Photoshop can it does do most of what most folks can dream up at much lower price. Gimp,I found harder to manage,learn,and yet it is a freebee with a lot of power

hey tim, do you know how the quality is with that program?   i have another program similar to that, that will resize several pictures at once, but the quality is kind of lacking in the resized pics.  i guess i'll have to try that one, it looks like it has a better setup than the one i have.

[Tim]

I've never noticed any loss in quality but then again I've never looked that closely.... If there was any great reduction in quality I hope that I would have noticed by now.

it's free, give it a shot...

will do +t for the tip

I use Paint Shop Pro 5's resample instead of resize. It takes a bit longer, but the quality stays the same.

i've used both paint shop pro and photoshop, and both do an excellent job of resizing.  however, when you have about 150 pictures that you've taken over the course of a vacation or something and want to resize all of them and put them up on photobucket to share with friends, it takes a really long time to go thru and resize each individual picture.  thats where the programs that can do a batch of them at once come in handy.

but yeah, paint shop pro and photoshop are definitely two of the best programs to work on images with.

just record an action in photoshop and batch process an entire folder.  it's very easy, i do it all the time.
