| 585932 | 2007-08-29 09:45:00 | Good evening My mother in law needs to resize images (for trademe of course) and is not particularly computer savvy. Can you suggest a dead-simple way of doing it please? On our computer when I right-click on one or more images one of the menu items is "Resize Pictures" which then opens a window allowing us to choose a size and OK. It's really simple and has high compression for quick image uploads but I cannot remember how it got there or what program is running it (and it's not found on other computers). Is it Windows XP or have I installed some other program? I mess about with photos a lot so I have a bunch of image shareware that it might be. Thanks for your help! Benjamin |

| 585933 | 2007-08-29 09:54:00 | There is an online website called http://www.resize2mail.com/ Not to hard to use and free to use. The program you have installed where by right clicking an image you can resize it is called Image resizer. Its part of Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP. You can download it here: download.microsoft.com and more info can be found here: www.microsoft.com |

| 585935 | 2007-08-29 11:06:00 | In Mac OS X there is an application called Automator, which allows you to create a little script using the functions out of any compatible program. Does Windows have something like this? If so, you could just create a process for her, so she only needs to make one or two clicks (provided you want the final result to be the same each time). | maccrazy (6741) | ||

| 585937 | 2007-08-29 22:29:00 | Yeah I'll recommend Image Resizer too, very small and very easy to use. No need to open up any special prog, just a right click and 1 or 2 more clicks and its done :D | CCF (6760) | ||
| 585938 | 2007-08-30 02:27:00 | Another vote for Image Resizer (download.microsoft.com) :) | davehartley (3487) | ||
