Picture Size in Posts
A friendly reminder: - If you are using the [img] tags, please make sure your pictures are not bigger then 640x480. If your pictures are larger then that, please resize them or if you can’t, just post a link. Many people are using dialup. Be respectful.

Here is a link for a photo resizing program to help keep image sizes at a reasonable level. There are many other programs out there. I prefer this one. It's simple to use! I use it all the time! And the best part, it's free.

Pix Resizer<--- download software



PIXresizer - Free Image Resizer
PIXresizer is a photo resizing program to easily create web and e-mail friendly versions of your images with reduced file sizes.
The reduced files are saved in a different folder, so your original images are not altered at all. PIXresizer offers several different resizing methods to choose from and can automatically recognize image sizes to calculate the best fit. In addition, it can convert between image formats (JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG and TIFF), rotate images, convert to grayscale and resize multiple images in batch mode. A great companion for webmasters and digital photographers.

Options/Features

* Simple Four-Step Workflow
* Easy 'Apply recommended' option to make it even more user friendly
* Works with single files as well as with multiple files all at once
* Option to convert between graphics formats (.bmp, .gif, .jpg, .png, and .tif)
* Can be used to create thumbnails (takes one move on a slider)
* Smart Ratio Calculation (image proportions can be overruled by the user)
* EXIF support, JPEG compression, TIFF compression, DPI settings
* Runs on Windows 98/ME/NT4/2000/2003/XP/Vista/7

I also use it when sending images in email attachments. Not every one has DSL with lighting speeds for down loading.

 

Thanks Sindy...I have Paint Shop Pro...but it's always helpful to have something else that works. Downloading it now. Thanks for the heads up.

You are doing a great job and I spend way too much time on the site but I need some help. I have posted some pictures on the Gallery, but how do I go about removing one if I do not think it is worth having in the Gallery. I don't just want to fill it up with poor quality images. Thanks

John!
JonyyB posted a great how-to on that very topic. I hope this helps.
If you need aditional help, I can also remove the ones you wish deleted.

It worked perfect. Thanks

 

For those who may not want to download anything here is a site that works. I used it for my new avatar

Excellent find there dbarberaz. I've got it bookmarked and I'm sure others will do the same. Never can have enough ways to resize pictures.

 

Gotta love Imacs. Iphoto can do the resizing thing. Didn't know that until I looked at the size of the images to see that mine were WAY too big!
