The thing about the resizers like Microsoft and Photorazor is that they just don’t perform as well as some of the other tools. They’re good, and for most purposes, they will do what most users want.

Experiment and see what produces the best quality resize for you and your camera.

For windows users looking to re-size photo’s quick, Microsoft has a re-sizing tool that is pretty slick too. Fast download, then you right click on a photo and select re-size. It makes a copy of the original in any size you choose. Image Resizer download is on the right hand side of this page.

Another good solution. Picasa does enable you to have the pictures uploaded on your own space and you can access them anytime you’re on the Internet from any computer, even if Picasa is not installed.

There are many ways to do it. Photobucket, Flickr, even using a forum like photosig.com will allow you to grab you’re photo in a smaller version.

I will have to try PhotoRazor. I like being able to do a large batch at one time. I do that with Photoshop, but it’s a little involved for quick work.

Thanks

Good post.

I use Picasa extensively. It’s a pretty neat service and I’m always amazed how Google manages to make such a ton of money for things they provide for FREE.

However….for various reasons it might be that using Picasa isn’t desired. I’ve found that PhotoRazor http://www.stormdance.net/software/photorazor/software%20overview.htm
does an adequate job. I’ve been using it for years.

It’s free and dead easy to use.
