355549 2005-05-16 06:34:00 Does anyone have any ideas on a freeware that will reduce jpg files to a more managable size for email, please? I don't wish to downsize the originals.

Thanks in advance.

Picasa will do what you want, if you have a compatable Windows version.

355552 2005-05-16 07:05:00 I see from a previous post that you run WinXP. There is a MS PowerToy that adds a right click context option of resizing images (just makes a copy of the original) if you don't wish to install a more complete photo-editing program.

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (www.microsoft.com) - Image Resizer (521 KB).

XP also will offer to resize images that you wish to email when you right click on an image and select send to Email recipient. The PowerToy above is much more versatile though. :)

I second that. Very easy to use & not a big download.

I use IrfanView and especially like how it loads in an instant, as compared to PhotoShop. But when resizing photos, IrfanView does not indicate the size (in Kb) of the photo, only a % reduction. Or have I missed a setting / tool / plugin that would indicate the size in Kb?
