All of the parameters can be adjusted in IrfanView as said above or if you wish PhotoShop will do it too but with a much steeper learning curve.	zqwerty (97)

Thats what a Jpeg is for, with the right software you can adjust from no compression to extreme, while still retaining viewable image size. Also remebeer that the pixels that make up the pic, (example 800x600) have a direst relationship to the resolution of your monitor, (800x600 for example) So if someone rezies a pic to 200x200 it may be quite a nice size on a screen of 800x600, But be tiny when you open it up on your 24 inch moster running at 2048x1680.

I received these pics from friend,of her new house,and there in middle of screen was a pic about size of 2 postage stamps,having sent lots via reducing by right clicking on pic in XP and picking reduce size option. I had always assumed that I reduced the amount of pixel,that being OK for emailing.	Cicero (40)

For resizing you can specify the actual image size you want in cm H/W, and at the same time you can independently set the dpi. This gives maximum control over both file and image sizes. Add the plug-ins and it will run just about any movie format you can think of, including FLV, and to top it all, it has a tiny footprint, has no advertising and seems to be bug free. For me the best feature and the one I use the most is the image enhacing tools. It will take a virtually black photo off Trade Me and adjust the exposure so that you can actually see what they are selling. TM aside, it is also useful for recovering bad snaps from your own camera, especially those where the lighting was less than optimal! Cheers Billy 8-{) B,is infanview better than picassa,to your knowledge.?	Cicero (40)
610046	2007-11-10 19:40:00	Hi C. For basic reductions, such as posting on my website, for ease of use I vote for Irfanview and I have Picasa2 and Photoshop6.	Scouse (83)
610047	2007-11-10 19:43:00	Hi C. For basic reductions, such as posting on my website, for ease of use I vote for Irfanview and I have Picasa2 and Photoshop6. I have all of them apart from Irfanview. Is Irfanview better in some way than Picassa?	Cicero (40)
610048	2007-11-10 19:58:00	I have all of them apart from Irfanview. Is Irfanview better in some way than Picassa? So much better so, particularly in terms of image manipulation, that I never used Picassa again. Irfanview is small, fast, effective, and does everything I need in for imaging for business and pleasure. Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)

610051	2007-11-10 20:56:00	If you have photoshop then use it. Right click the top bar of teh pic, click image size, adjust to your needs. Then click file,save for web,ensure the 4-up tab and jpeg is selected, then click on whichever version suits. Takes all of 8 seconds if your PC isn't a pile of crap, and gives you complete control.
