OT: Picture resizer....

Hi,

Just wanted to share a link to a tool, that I have just tried and like very much. I have always struggeled with resizing of stills shot with 5 og 8 MP camera and the resizing for implementing in video. I use Photoshop elements, and I don't think you can batch resize inside there.

I therefor found this little util that does the job, and with excellent results.

http://softorbits.com/batch_picture_resize/

It's $20 so for me a very timesaving investment.

Photoshop Elements can batch resize. I do it all the time with version 2.

Use File > Batch Processing

The limitation with Elements is no effects can be applied, only resizing

Or you could just use the free one from Microsoft. Once installed, you can right click a picture or set of pictures.
Get it from here: Picture resizer

Good info, Tom. The Picture Resizer is part of a whole suite of free media tools available for Windows XP
several of which look interesting for still-picture management.

Works well enough, perhaps. Free, of course.

Not bad John...

You just right-click on the files and covert without opening them in another program - ok.
