Photo Resizer Compatible With Windows 7
 
Guys,

We upgraded to Windows 7 and we're looking for a good photo resizer. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! The simpler the better. Thanks! :beerchug:

You can use Paint. It'll be in the accessories folder under all programs. Or just right click on the photo and select "Open with / Paint"

I use the software in my Photobucket account since that's where I keep my pictures. Paint also works as does "ViewingBooth" which came with my Lexmark printer software. You can download the software ( X83 is my printer model ) and just use that. It works great for making avatars too.

Paint is about the worst thing you can use to re-size pictures. This is the easiest thing I have found to use.

now I'm curious. Why is paint the worst thing you can use to resize a photo?

I use Windows Live Photo Gallery

You can re-size, adjust contrast, crop, etc all at one time!!

Turn on the flash when taking the outdoor pics and you will be amazed!!

EVERY outdoor pic I take that is less than the range of my flash (about 20 feet), the flash is ON!! :bigeyes:

When you get good, you will do the Adjust Detail to increase the sharpness.

It makes a big difference with my Nikon pics. (My go to camera for tractor pics is a Nikon D70s)

Sun lighting on the back, flash on the camera side,

even makes a Gravely look half decent!! :bigthink:

:biggrin2:


Windows Live Photo Gallery should be already loaded on your Windows 7 computer, if not it is a free download here;

I'm starting to sound like a software salesman, so I will stop!!

P.S. Next to Cubs, I like photography best!!

It's slow, among other things...with the link I posted, you can batch resize hundreds of pictures in the same amount of time that you can do one with MS paint. It also used to drastically reduce the quality of jpg images when saving, but I'm not sure if it still does that.

I have been using PIXresizer for years on several Windows versions including Windows 7.

Free, easy and quick to use.
