Resizing Photos.

[catnapper]

I have a "new" laptop (6 months old, but I'm a little behind on getting everything it needs) that has basic photo programs on it. I like what it has to edit photos, but there's nothing to resize them. I HATE sending them to photobucket as full size and then editing the sizes in Photobucket. It takes forever, and more often than not, it locks up my access to Photobucket.

Anyone know of a nice program I can download for free to resize my photos without jumping through major hoops?

What program do you use to edit the photos? I bet it has a "resize" feature, just not where you expect it ...

I'm using Google's Picassa. It does a grreat job but I can't find a resizing option anywhere. :o

Irfanview is free and great for editing - easy to resize too.

I always suggest this, but heh: try using Gimp, free photo editor. Has the same/more features than Photoshop, and you can resize photos.

I use Irfanview too. It's so easy even "I" can figure it out. Download for free.

:) I use PhotoBucket & its Free.. It usally does great with resizing.. I had a bit of trouble with it last week = but thats not a norm..

I use Photoshop... And if they're still too big, I'll resize them in Photobucket.

I've found these invaluable for resizing without going into my Photoshop.
