Hi lardy

I generally use Edit Function on the image editing software that's built into the site I upload my piccys to , www.tinypic.com (http://www.tinypic.com)

it allows to resize your image and save it.

eg;

Irfanview, its free and probably the easiest resizing program available.

Use Paint. Already comes with every version of Windows.

Image > Resize/Skew
(change to, say, 50% or whatever)
(If you don't like this - CTRL&Z to undo, and try again with a different %)

File > Save as

Paint is a real PITA if you want to do more than a couple of pics ata time though.

What's best free one for batch resizing ?

Irfanview does batch resizing and batch renaming

When I was a kid we used to stick chip packets in the oven and they'd shrink. Maybe you could try the same thing with your photos.:p

Dont be silly...........................................yo u would only make the memory card smaller :p.

If you use Picassa ( it's good and free from Google.com ) just go to File > Export Picture to Folder.
A window will come up and you can specify the file size and folder you want.
If you export to a folder that is synched to your web albums ( if you use Google ) you will bypass the manual uploading step.

Blue Peter, that brings back memories, although not sure where from. Lived in UK for a year when I was a kid, but we didn't have a tv.

Should I have said crisp packets?

If you're using windows....

google search "image resizer powertoy" (http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=image+resizer+powertoy&btnG=Search&meta=) ... (for your operating system)

download and install.

It adds an right click option "resize picture"

Highlight all the pics you wish to resize, right click and select "resize picture".
Select one of four std. sizes or enter a custom size.
click Ok ... and off it goes, done in no time.
Adds a size suffix to the original file name

Couple of extra options:
allow resizing original pics (or copies), so file names don't change.
and make pics smaller but not larger

I use it all the time.

If he had been watching blue peter he would of made the chip packets out of straws first and covered with PVA and put glitter on it before going in the oven silly:angel:

I was in Norfolk, the only craft we did was corn dollies.:p

Think there might have been a compulsory class in roof thatching, too.

Here is a link to the Powertoys resizer that Schmez posted.

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx)

Its great but only XP, not Vista operating systems. Just install it, then once its installed you find the photo you want to resize, right click on the photo and there will now be a resize image option in the menu that comes up when you right click, just click then select the size you want and its done. You can do 1 or a 100 photos at once. Its good because it also creates new files so if you have some high res images that you want to keep but want to make them smaller so you can post them on the forum etc then it creates new smaller pics. matt

Lots of graphics tools around as mentioned for resizing.

But a super fast easy method I often use if all I want to do is re-size for web use, (particularly if I have a number of images).

Select all the images > right click> send to Mail Recipient > Outlook opens and offers to re-size for me... then I just copy the images back off the draft email.

Super easy if you happen to be running Outlook on a windows box.

If I want to do more than just a quick re-size I generally use Photoshop.
