Anyone know a good (free) one? I used to use one but I can't for the life of me find it again by mere Google alone.
I actually need this for my mother so (trust me) it needs to be really easy to use, eg. right click on the file in explorer and it just resizes the photo, hopefully saving as a copy to preserve the original.
Anyone?
microsoft re-size image tool http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/learnmore/tips/eschelman2.mspx
very good.
Sweet - I'll give that a try. Cheers!
[edit]No I won't, it won't install on Vista, dear me! She's on XP but I'd prefer to see how it worked myself first...[/edit]
there's a windows "powertoy" for resizing images. Definitely for XP, maybe they do one for vista too
(only does small medium lrge though)
I'd forgotten that the work laptop had XP so installed on that, works really really well, even my mum might be able to use it 😀
(Seriously, never ever try and talk a pensioner through how to configure a dial up modem over the phone, I aged about 20 years in that conversation and we still failed... I sometimes weep gently just thinking about it even now... I thought we could do it, I had faith. I was misguided 😆 )
Anyway, re: image resizing tools as far I'm concerned this thread is closed, thanks all.

well, you linked to another page that didn't include the word powertoy (though your "page" did include a link to it - if you'd linked it direct I'd have seen:

and realised that you were on about the same thing
But if it makes you feel better, you're right and I'm so, so sorry ! 🙁
