Unknown author (2005-10-25): awsome little tool great alternative for making thumbnails for websites. Unknown author (2005-10-26): fine tool - extremely simple to use :-) Unknown author (2005-10-28): This little software is a giant. I wish all software were as small, simple and effective as this one. I reduced an album of 90 jpegs from 81MB to just under 4 MB using 800 pixels, thus saving space on my webspace.
Unknown author (2005-10-30): Simple and quick to use, ideal for making thumbnails. Unknown author (2005-11-02): I would love to see this resize via DPI too. My resizing needs are for printing. Say something like: PhotoResizeD300.exe would resize the picture by changing the pixel density to 300. jleslie48 (2005-11-07): what a product. so nice to see a KISS (keep it simple) program that is so usefull and pinpoint accurate to what it should be doing. I like the "rename the program name" parameter list, being an old command line programmer I know exactly where this comes from, although having command line parameters would be more flexible,
Vlasta (2005-11-07): Answers to the technical questions and suggestions are in this forum thread. jleslie48 (2005-11-09): I can see its not about profit. that's why I want to donate. I wouldn't of paid for the program. I want to offer my REAL appreciation. That is as honest and true a thank you as I can think of.
Unknown author (2005-11-16): Brilliant.
Vlasta (2005-11-17): The number of images processed in one step is limited by a command line length as discussed here. Unknown author (2005-11-17): ahahaah!!!! GREAT!!!
Unknown author (2005-11-23): Th pictures are really small, sometimes, toooooooooo small
Unknown author (2005-11-29): Wow what a fantastic application! Exactly what I was looking for, thanks very much.
Vlasta (2005-11-29): Support for other image formats would increase the size of the application and make it more complicated. But another tool can be created... let me know. Unknown author (2005-11-30): VERSION 1.3 ROCKS!!! Thank you SO much for the density setting!!! Unknown author (2005-12-04): perfect! Unknown author (2005-12-07): excellent! Unknown author (2005-12-07): Too good to be true Unknown author (2005-12-07): Troppo forte! Unknown author (2005-12-11): is this thigy free Unknown author (2005-12-11): More than perfect! Unknown author (2005-12-17): Abso-blinkin-lootly-fantastic. You've just saved me from manually resizeing 266 files. You are gods. I love you... Unknown author (2005-12-23): thank you. nice application :-) Unknown author (2005-12-25): Giles: fundamental flaw, the metadata is not preserved Vlasta (2005-12-26): That is true, the resized image is created from scratch. I'll try to fix it in the next release. Unknown author (2005-12-28): very simple and nice, thanks. Unknown author (2006-01-04): Great for what it does.
Vlasta (2006-01-04): That feature was added in version 1.1 - check the W, H, and _ options. Unknown author (2006-01-06): I love the application, but have one issue. Is there an upper limit to the size of an image that can be resized? I have a 27 MB jpeg and the program reports an error when trying to resize it. Vlasta (2006-01-07): There are multiple indirect limits, one of them is for example size of available memory, but there are also others. Could you make your jpeg available online or send me dimensions of that image. If it was something else than memory, I will try to fix it in the next release. Unknown author (2006-01-07): Please add shell integration for even faster use! Unknown author (2006-01-10): Excellent program! Glad it's free also. I use it at work to reduce the size of pictures taken by our digital camera (~500k) down to a size that makes it possible to include a bunch of pictures in a powerpoint file without it being like 10MB :) Unknown author (2006-01-16): It's just what I need for my montages! Unknown author (2006-01-16): Great tool :) Quick and efectve :) Unknown author (2006-01-18): Great Tool! Simply and easy to use! Great for web development! Unknown author (2006-01-19): I had no idea how easy resizing jpeg's was. I was up and running in under 5 minutes using your tool. Thank you for making it so usable and effective. Unknown author (2006-01-23): I have to say, this is the coolest thing I have found. I just tried it on my photos that needed to be reduced. All I had to do way drag the whole file onto the tool!!! And it worked!!!! It was just too easy. Thanks so much!!!! Unknown author (2006-01-24): Thx for this great tool ! Is there any way to define the Quality of the JPEG format ? i.e. compression quality 85% or 70% ? Regis Vlasta (2006-01-25): No, that is currently not possible. It will be considered for the next version. Unknown author (2006-01-26): Amazing! No word can express my appriciation.
Unknown author (2006-01-31): Great tool, just what I was looking for for ebay pictures. Nice and simple .. couldnt be better. Unknown author (2006-02-02): Hello !! An other feature that can be added : can you plan to keep Exif infos in JPEG pictures ? i.e. I use a tool to auto-rotate-lossless my jpeg picture.. Jpeg generated with your tool does not have exif infos anymore so that the tool can not know the orginial info of the picture.. Exif should be a block of date header of footer in the picture don't know exactly and this should not be too tricky to implement.. Anyway, Great tool you've done !! Hope we could be able to choose jpeg quality in future version. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Regards, Regis. Unknown author (2006-02-02): sorry, in my previous message I meant : "Exif info should be a block of datas header or footer in the picture..." Bye. Regis Vlasta (2006-02-02): Thanks for suggestions. I guess there are enough of them for a new version... Unknown author (2006-02-07): Really Cool and easy application Unknown author (2006-02-11): this is wackkkkk Unknown author (2006-02-13): This has been a life saver for me, so easy to use! Thanks Unknown author (2006-02-13): Perfect tool, i just added some advertising on my page www.phpalbum.net Unknown author (2006-02-16): It works well, just as advertised. I would like to be able to specify the compression, though. Your standard compression is too lossy. p.izard (2006-02-16): With Photo Resize on command line, how to specifie an output directory ? Vlasta (2006-02-17): You cannot. Instead switch to that directory (using CD in batch file) and then use the "C" option to write images to current directory. Unknown author (2006-02-21): really good! but it would be even better if you could define the compression quality... the images really dont look good at this compression Unknown author (2006-02-24): Save me a lot of time - Thanks a lot - Unknown author (2006-02-24): NEAT! Unknown author (2006-02-25): Nice tool! Others already said it, being able to set the JPEG quality would make it a perfect tool. Unknown author (2006-02-27): Extremely nice, easy-to-use tool. One idea for the next version might be to allow the user to overwrite source files (or use original filenames if dest dir != src dir) Unknown author (2006-02-28): It's hard to make things simple. Many non-free tools are just too complex and you have to install them on your pc. This tool just does what I want it to do: resize!! I'm also very pleased with the quality/filesize aspect of the resized images. Unknown author (2006-03-06): Must say this is the best thing i've seen for photo's next to photoshop .. totally different things, but truely serve the purpose! Unknown author (2006-03-11): Absolutely brilliant. Just one thing though if you ever convert it to a GUI application I'll hunt you down and hurt you ;-). Always KISS Keep it Simple Stupid. Unknown author (2006-03-15): isabelle caby Unknown author (2006-03-22): The world is full of amazing people doing amazing things. This tool is deceptively simple - its simplicity hides its genius. g00ner_1 (2006-03-22): Ingenious - what a superb little app, thank you so much. My life has become so much easier. Unknown author (2006-03-26): Great tool. Our office has images that need to be resized for posting to websites and this makes it so easy that even the boss can do it. Thanks for providing such a neat tool. Found it by searching Google. CN in Tennessee, USA.
Unknown author (2006-04-09): Great tool, very helpful for me since I'm travelling and need to resize to different formats for my website. Missing one feature, though... the possibility to decide the output filename. Thanks for a great tool./Andreas Unknown author (2006-04-13): Splendid tool! Now I don't have to abuse Outlook (with powertool extension) anymore to produce smaller pictures in a simple way.
Unknown author (2006-04-26): The DPI setting is great, but I would like to see an option to NOT resample the image. Currently if I have a 2000x2000/72DPI image and I use the tool to change the DPI to 300 I get an image with a DPI setting of 8333x8333. A switch that would override resampling and create an output of 2000x2000/300dpi would help make my job SO much easier. Thanks for a great tool. Keep up the good work. Vlasta (2006-04-26): :-) you are not the first one, who needs this feature. I am somewhat reluctant to add this mode, because then the application task is reduced to just overwritting a number in JPG header. And it should not recode the image to preserve the quality. Well, since this is a repeated request, I'll try to add this feature in the next version. Unknown author (2006-04-29): Really liked it !!! it also support hebrew folder names. Great ! Unknown author (2006-05-01): The tool is wonderful. Reading previous comments, I see that I am hardly the only one to think so. I really appreciate minimalistic tools, and I use this one (along with the Send To tip) to help my mom convert her digital images to smaller sizes for her website.
Vlasta (2006-05-01): OK, that should not be a problem. I'll keep that in mind. Unknown author (2006-05-05): hi, this is a wonderful display of how programming somthing simple should be, i was wondering if i can i hop over pressing enter at the end each time, could the program just close itself automatically... alon (2006-05-09): Hi,
Vlasta (2006-05-10): Ouch, you have found a bug. The -c flag seems to have a disruptive effect on path variables. I guess I'll add a switch to set the output directory explicitly. alon (2006-05-10): Hi Vlasta,
Vlasta (2006-05-10): Yes, that will be fixed too. I am not sure about the file renaming, is there a useful scenario requiring that feature and is there a robust way how to specify the output names (I mean without potential conflicts)? alon (2006-05-11): Currently you automatically add "-W400" to the original name - that convention is not always good - especially when using your tool for publishing images on the web and wanting to preserve the original name OR rename all pictures for certain cause... about treating a conflict - if XXX.jpg already exists - you can recursively name the new file XXX(1).jpg (I recommend recursion so if XXX(1).jpg also exist - you'll name the new file XXX(1)(1).jpg). Vlasta (2006-05-12): There already is an option to overwrite the original images (I). If this option is not used (the default case), there is a need to differentiate the resized name from the original. The current method appends a suffix that carries an information and I do not see any advantage in dropping that and using just numbers. If there is something I am missing please let me know. alon (2006-05-12): I want to keep the original picture (name and size) but I do understands your meanning. So maybe you can let the user change the name (or keep original...) only when using different destination folder than where the original images are.
Unknown author (2006-05-14): I want to keep the original picture (name and size) but I do understands your meanning. So maybe you can let the user change the name (or keep original...) only when using different destination folder than where the original images are.
Vlasta (2006-05-14): Yes, that sounds good. I was actually mentioning the i(I) switch (in-place resizing). 'L' is used as a part of filename only and it means Low quality (the same as -q30). Unknown author (2006-05-16): Hiya
Unknown author (2006-05-30): I love this resizer! I volunteer at an animal shelter and usually have 20-35 pictures of animals to upload to my website each week. This program makes it so easy to rename the file and have the exact size I need for the website (360kb) and resize them all at once.
Unknown author (2006-06-07): I am a little confused regarding the resizing and the DPI. I have an image that is 205dpi and of size 2050x1540. I'd like to resize to 410x308 and maintain as much quality as possible.
Myrmex (2006-06-14): Hello, Congratulations for a such usefull tool.
Vlasta (2006-06-14): I see, you always run the tool on a folder with all your old and new images. Interesting use case, we'll try to have it covered in the next version. Myrmex (2006-06-15): A good news :o)
Vlasta (2006-06-15): There's no problem using it on your fileserver. One more thing: I would not recommend to use the tool in the current state. If an image is decoded and the encoded again, there may be a slight quality loss. I hope the next version will be out in July, so it may be better to run it just once now and wait for the update. Unknown author (2006-06-16): thnks jtroll (2006-06-21): I seem to be unable to dump more than 20 photos at a time on to the icon. Am I doing something wrong? jtroll (2006-06-21): I found the answer in your comments section regarding maximum number of photos resized in one dump. I will try your recommendation!
Unknown author (2006-06-27): This tool is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much!
Unknown author (2006-06-29): Thank you for saving a lot of time with my individual down loads and my batch down loads. This is one cool tool. Unknown author (2006-06-30): great piece of software, exactly what I was looking for :) Unknown author (2006-07-02): Great product but maybe one suggestion i was wonering if you could have a .txt document with all of the commands inside them so i dont have to connect to the internet to modify the conditions. Vlasta (2006-07-03): If you need to access the instructions offline, just save this page or the page with advanced settings. All major browsers can do that. ;-) Unknown author (2006-07-06): oh my god this app is the greatest. thank you! Unknown author (2006-07-11): AWESOME!!!!!!!!! It's so simple.... yet so gooooood. Unknown author (2006-07-17): Perfect.Perfect application also because it does not need installation. Great work! Unknown author (2006-07-20): Your application is really brilliant!
Unknown author (2006-07-23): Hello Vlasta ! Thanks for adding new features we asked you ;) An other option would be nice : since resizing pictures often slighty blur the smaller pictures we get, what about adding a switch so as to choose a SHARPENING function ? 2 levels of sharpening should be enough like : "Sharpen" and "Sharpen more". Thanks again for this very handy tool. Kind regards, Regis. Unknown author (2006-07-26): Wow, very useful program!!! can set the width,height,WxH,percentage,DPI...etc, a small but good software, thanks to the author. Eriks S (2006-07-28): Hi!
Vlasta (2006-07-28): Yes, you may use it in that scenario. Unknown author (2006-08-06): Wow. Why didn't somebody program this ten years ago? Brilliant. Huge props, this is exactly what I need for my travelogue. Perfect for USB keys. Unknown author (2006-08-06): perfect, just what I was looking for
Unknown author (2006-08-10): What is the maximum numbers of files I can do at one time? I tried to do 72 pictures at once and it gave me an error. I did it in a few smaller batches and it worked fine. Vlasta (2006-08-11): The number of images processed in one step is limited by a command line length as discussed in this thread. You may drop an entire folder (or more) on the icon to process all images inside. Unknown author (2006-08-14): Brilliant, smooth and stable with good results, ive linked to it on my site :-) Unknown author (2006-08-16): This is amazing, things that work simply and quickly with no training for non graphics people are truly beautiful solutions! Unknown author (2006-08-17): i'm a VB programmer and i was wondering if i could destribute this software along side of my software as long as i talk about your site in the about form of my software. Please comment.
Vlasta (2006-08-17): That would depend on the nature of your application, we'd better discuss this by email. Unknown author (2006-08-17): What a wonderful app! You have done a great job here. Thanks. Jeremy (2006-08-18): You have such an outstanding and flexible program. I have never found a program that is flexible and advanced enough to do what I want, yet be easy enough for a non-technical relative to use, too! I wish all developers put as much thought and effort into their programs. Kudos! Unknown author (2006-08-21): I love this program, especially it can copy the EXIF into the resized picture. But when I use "I" & "S" together, it deleted all the original files with size smaller than the required sized. I am looking forward to seeing if this can be fixed. This is the file name I used "PhotoResize1600HMRIS.exe" Vlasta (2006-08-22): Thanks for letting me know, this is surely an unexpected interference between the "I" & "S", I hope to have it fixed this week. Unknown author (2006-08-23): Awesome utility - nice and simple! Keep up the great work! Unknown author (2006-08-24): Very nice utility! Convenient usage system.
Vlasta (2006-08-27): The "I" + "S" bug and a another one related to resizing to given filesize were fixed. Version number was not updated - download the 1.5 again if you want the version without these errors. Unknown author (2006-08-29): wow, nice nice program. This has so many applications it is amazing. Unknown author (2006-08-30): I think I have found the tool i need!!!!!!!!!!! thks a lot!!!
polossatik (2006-09-05): Just an idea: exif data contains in a lot of cases the position of the camera, a option to rotate automatically based in that? Unknown author (2006-09-07): "If you want to manually control both width and height of the output image, rename the application to PhotoResizeWxH.exe, where W is the requested width and H the requested height. It is your responsibility to set correct aspect ratio in this case."
Vlasta (2006-09-07): Thanks for the recent suggestions, they will be taken care of in the next update. wildsun (2006-09-08): We can not open the photoresize after the download on my computer. Can anybody help me? Vlasta (2006-09-08): First, make sure, you downloaded the right version for your operating system. The file also might have been corrupted during transfer - downloading it again may help. Here are two links to the XP version: PhotoResize400.exe and NT/1.5/PhotoResize400.exe Unknown author (2006-09-09): This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for for umm.. fifteen months now. Great work.
Unknown author (2006-09-10): este programa não funciona
Unknown author (2006-09-10): I use a PhotoResize.bat file with the command switches to auto-resize existing uploaded files @ 2am each morning using windows scheduler. Very nice utility! Unknown author (2006-09-13): kan niet downloaden kan ik die ook in het nederlands versie krijgen kan geen engels Unknown author (2006-09-22): one of ythe best resizers available - thanks Unknown author (2006-09-22): This is a nice piece of software, but one thing prevents me (and possibly many others) for using it in a certain way. I want to use this on a website with classic ASP to resize pictures automatically without buying an expensive component (that does more than I need anyways). HOWEVER, I can't use this because when run from the command line you have a "Press enter to exit" at the end. Command line programs should just exit and not require user intervention. So when I put this on my webserver, it hangs that page indefinitely. Please remove that, or add an option to exit automatically when done. I would be happy to provide an ASP snippet to show how it can easily be implemented into a website. THANKS! Vlasta (2006-09-22): There already is a parameter that lets you skip the Press Enter message: -o (It also lets you customize the output of the tool - check the advanced settings page.) An ASP snippet would of course be welcome. If it is short, you can post it here as a comment, otherwise plese send it to our email and it will be put on a separate page, with your name as an author of course. Unknown author (2006-09-24): Thanks for the info. I didn't see the advanced settings in the documentation that came in the ZIP. Anyways, here is how you can add the code into an ASP document:
stennie (2006-09-27): Very helpful utility! One feature suggestion .. would be nice if there was an option to include the original picture resolution, file name, file size, and file date as Exif comments (eg Original Resolution : 1200 x 1800, Original Filename: foo.jpg, Original Filesize : 1389711 bytes, Original file date: 2006:09:26 06:59:00 ). Details of the original would be helpful when using the resized versions to catalog much larger photos. Thx ! Unknown author (2006-10-06): Outstanding work! This is a great little utility that lets me enjoy on Win 2000 the same features I've gotten used to on WinXP! XP has the "Image Resizer" Powertoy, but 2K is lacking that. With your program and a few modified shortcuts, I was able to add in some slick "send to" menu items that let me do the exact same thing. Thanks!
Vlasta (2006-10-06): If I undertand you correctly, you are looking for a command line switch that reverts back to the default behavior - that would be -^640 Unknown author (2006-10-07): Is there a way to keep the original size of the photos but reduce the quality? I want to keep the HxW of the pics the same but need to reduce the size on disk to around 100-200k max Vlasta (2006-10-07): Then you could try to resize to 100% (PhotoResizeP100.exe) and play aroud with the quality setting. Lower quality often means smaller size. Unknown author (2006-10-15): Hey, I like this software very much. And especially the copy function. But i would be happy if it could make a folder with the pictures at the destination when i select a folder to be resized, instead of just the files. I would also like to keep the filenames intact, with no addition, when copying the files. Also when skipping smaller pictures, it could be nice if it still copy the picture to the destination. Unknown author (2006-10-22): I was amazed at how simple this program made resizing! Thank you for creating something so easy to use and functional at the same time! Unknown author (2006-10-27): When I am trying to resize 6000 pictures in batch, I get this error: "Access to the specified device, path, or file is denied". Is there a maximum number of pictures that I could resize at one time? Thanks. Vlasta (2006-10-27): Number of images is limited by length of Windows command line. Instead of dragging and dropping the individual image, d'n'n the entire folder. Unknown author (2006-10-29): Hello,
Unknown author (2006-10-29): Thanks, this is a perfect program :)
Unknown author (2006-11-05): Hi, great small tool, I like it.
Unknown author (2006-11-05): sorry the last comment was specified in millimeters (H and W) Vlasta (2006-11-07): If you want to change both size and DPI and the source and destination are not in relation, you'll have to do it in two steps. Just resize to target size in pixels and then overwrite the DPI with PhotoResizeD150T.exe. No quality will be lost in the second step. Unknown author (2006-11-07): I have many pictures, and they are all different, some of them are bigger in size but smaller in dpi, other have bigger dpi and small size, i want resize them all in same size and dpi, other problem that i have is that pictures have different aspect ratio, and i want maybe small changes in aspect ratio, the end result should be all pictures have same size / aspect ratio, and same dpi without quality lose!
Vlasta (2006-11-08): You'll need to run PhotoResize two times to get what you want (but it should be possible to do it from one .bat file). You need not worry about the quality, because if you only change DPI with the T letter in filename, the file is actually just copied without touching the compressed data and the DPI is overwritten.
Unknown author (2006-11-08): With this method i become picture with 150dpi (Hor. and Ver.) and 713x713 pixels in size.
Vlasta (2006-11-08): You are right, the T parameter should be used in the second step too (or you can swap the steps). I am not sure what you mean by lost quality, but resampling simply changes the picture and makes it different - the pixels change. If you are using it to prepare pictures for printing, then you'll probably would not want to change the number of pixels at all, just recalculating the DPI - but I am afraid this mode is not available in the current version. Unknown author (2006-11-09): Vlasta, i have used Photo Paint to see difference after resampling with my old method, and with PhotoResize.
Vlasta (2006-11-09): Yes, please send me the sample pictures and the configuration you have used Photo Paint, I'd like to know what's happening. If the photos are large, please send them directly to vlastimil.miler at gmail.com. Unknown author (2006-11-11): I can't download the soft ware . Somme problems with parword..
Unknown author (2006-11-14): Hi. Cool site. Taipan (2006-11-16): Hi... I LOVE your product... so easy and quick to use. One question, is there a size or number of files limit, as I only seem to be able to resize about 30-40 photos per time (6 MP photos, about 3Mb each). If you can solve this, I would be happy to donate!
Taipan (2006-11-16): Oops Taipan again... read the instructions (i.e. use a folder...)...it's working great now!!! bigbangtech (2006-11-22): I would like to suggest a feature for PhotoResize that may be useful to many users: making rectangular images square. Many people must put up 1000's of images on shopping websites, and sometimes the best format is square, but sometimes your images may be mixed with their longest side either being horizontal or vertical and it is a bit of a pain to process all of these images. An option that takes any rectangular-shaped image, horizontal or vertical and places it in the center of a XXX-sized square with blank/white bars on the top or sides where applicable would be most appreciated and most appropriate for PhotoResize! birs (2006-11-26): I have many pictures in standard formats 2:3. Some are landscape, some portrait. Is there a function that will resize all of them so that the longer edge will be a certain length?
Vlasta (2006-11-26): Yes, that's actually the default behavior. birs (2006-11-26): Gosh! I didn't realize that. I was too much into -hX and -wX, so -^X just did not make it into my consciousness. Sorry to have stolen some of your time. erikv (2006-11-29): photoresize rocks!
erikv (2006-11-29): oops, I meant anything following and including <SRCNAME>. Sorry. Unknown author (2006-11-30): Awesome software, Cheers! Vlasta (2006-11-30): There was a bug in <SRCNAME> and <SRCPATH>. Thanks for reporting it. Please re-download the tool and it should be working now. Unknown author (2006-12-04): how do i rename the app to do more than one function ~ eg: if I wanted to sharpen and have high res in one drag and drop action ~ would calling PhotoResize400HN work? Vlasta (2006-12-04): Yes. Unknown author (2006-12-11): is posible to set the output name? Pierrot (2006-12-12): Very good !
Vlasta (2006-12-12): Technically they are new files, but I see that it makes sense. It will be considered for the next update. Unknown author (2006-12-15): Downloaded latest version, followed the instructions to the letter, created a shortcut to the executable and modified the Start In directory to a shared network drive Z:\Resized and the application insists on saving the output in the original path of where the file was dragged from. Nothing seems to work. I also notice the help implies the Start In path is surrounded by quotes "" but each time these are entered and applied the entry reverts back to without quotes - arggghhhh! Vlasta (2006-12-18): It is not clearly visible on the screenshot, but you must also use the C letter in filename or the -c switch to instruct the tool to put the output files to current directory. The shortcut is only used to specify the current directory. As for the quotes, they are only needed if there are spaces in the directory path. Unknown author (2006-12-20): Thank you very much for this brillant and very simple solution. kkjorsvik (2006-12-20): I was wondering, Is there away to force the program not to rename the file when it is saving to the current directory. I just ask because since it won't be saving to the same directory, I don't want it to change the name of the file. it would be nice if it would just leave the name alone. Thanks. this is a great program it really does a good job. Unknown author (2006-12-26): the program works great but when you drag and drop more than 20 files windows gives and error saying that it doesn't have access to the specified file or route you may not have the appropriate permissions to have access to the element Vlasta (2006-12-27): read the previous comments Unknown author (2007-01-05): I received an Olympus E-500 for Christmas. My 1980 Minolta X-700 just wasn't taking the quality pictures and it was time for me to get with the times anyway. So, I've been taking HQ pics (RES 3264 x 2448). Now I wanted to post 108 of them to Google Picasa2 but not at this resolution and 1.5mb per file. I would have to edit one by one with my existing software - YUK!
mexemexe (2007-01-17): is it posible to resize a whole directory with subfolders of images at once. Or do i have to do each directory at a time. I have about 4 years of pics and i would like to resize them all but will take forever. Thanks/ Vlasta (2007-01-17): Of course it can resize images in subfolders if you use the -r switch or R letter in filename - read the What's new section for 1.2 version. Unknown author (2007-01-24): This is a wonderful tool, and i'm so lucky i stumbled across it. A feature request though:
Unknown author (2007-01-24): Awsome program makes it so easy to do your photos while travelling, thank a bunch Unknown author (2007-01-25): I had to re-size a long list of photos. This works like a charm!!!
Vlasta (2007-01-25): Yes, I guess, a switch allowing customization of the output file name or path would need to be added in the next update. A lot of people are asking about it, so I'll make it the highest priority. Unknown author (2007-01-27): WONDERFUL! Googled "picture resizer" , this was my first hit, and it is exactly what i was looking for!! Simple, easy to use and no installation.. THANKS!! Unknown author (2007-01-30): Awesome Tool! I am gonna donate when i am able to ... I wont forget you my friend. THX so much! da w.a.s.p. Unknown author (2007-02-05): Incredible tool. However, I can't seem to resize a black and white photo with it. Any idea what could have gone wrong? Thanks Vlasta (2007-02-06): Well, B&W images are not supported. The tool is focused on photos and they are rarely B&W. This feature might be added in the future, but I am not convinced it is worth the effort. Unknown author (2007-02-09): This is awesome - I used a different tool briefly, but this is better. The only way to improve would be to have an interface where we could enter the sizes and options rather than copying and renaming the file anytime we want to make a change. Unknown author (2007-02-12): I found this util by chance and it has served me VERY well! just drag and drop a subfolder and whammo - even on a slow PC 50-60 pics <5min. No matter where in the world I was, i used photoresize1024.exe (either Win98 or XP) to prepare images for my blog; 4mnths of travelling & 4000+ photos later it's still the best tool i've used for this sort of thing. Thank you so much! hrmm i guess i'll donate just as soon as i get a job! hehe
Unknown author (2007-02-13): Fantastic tool. Thanks Unknown author (2007-02-25): Excellent tool! Cropping feature would make it even more... Unknown author (2007-02-26): Nice one, quick and easy to use, Unknown author (2007-02-27): Hello,
Unknown author (2007-03-02): I have 10,000 documents scanned in greyscale in multiple folders and I wanted to resize them to 50% but I get 'Error occurred' with every one of them. Is it because they're not colour? I've even tried doing a single image and I get the same error message.
Unknown author (2007-03-02): I'm just a bit sad, I can't seem to get it to work, there is something wrong with my settings I guess, but I have no clue. I do as it says here, it works on my boyfriends PC, but not mine. I can't drag and drop images and I can't use the Send To feature. The only way to use it, is to right click on a single image and choose open with, but that takes some time to do a lot of images, and not as smart as this program is suppose to. I have winxp and downloaded the first download for this.
Vlasta (2007-03-03): 1) B&W jpegs are currently not supported. The tool is primarily for photos.
Unknown author (2007-03-10): How can I make it simply overwrite/replace the orringal files? Vlasta (2007-03-11): With -i switch or I letter in filename. Unknown author (2007-03-13): I have been graphic designer for decades and it's the most easy and advanced tools ever used. It is what I looking for in years.
Unknown author (2007-03-13): Fantastico, le cose semplici sono le migliori.
Unknown author (2007-03-13): This is a very good tool . Thank you for sharing.
Canebuono (2007-03-17): Hello and thanks very much for this wonderful program.
Vlasta (2007-03-17): Then use the following command line: PhotoResize.exe -^1280x960 -q80 C:\images
Canebuono (2007-03-18): ..And can advanced options be used just from command line? If they can be used also in Windows, how can I rename the EXE to obtain results I indicated in the previous question?
Vlasta (2007-03-18): Some of them. The compression quality cannot be set to any value, only 30%, 60%, or 90% can be set by renaming the file. Use PhotoResize1280x960H.exe for 90% quality. Canebuono (2007-03-18): Ok, thank you..
Vlasta (2007-04-02): New version was released with many new and modified features. If you encounter a problem, please leave a comment. Thanks. Unknown author (2007-04-03): wooooot, best proggie i've ever seen! :D Vlasta (2007-04-14): Update: there was an error in the tool and the dialog box was not being displayed on some computers. If you were affected, please re-download the tool. Pat (2007-04-14): Hi Vlasta,
Pat (2007-04-14): Love the tool but wonder how can I resize a batch of photos and locate them in a separate folder from the original pictures for dragging and dropping into a slide show?
Vlasta (2007-04-14): For the classroom presentation, the best size would depend on the resolution of the projector or displays. The tool uses relatively high compression by default and I would not be afraid to use 800 or 1024. The file size in kilobytes would still be low enough.
Unknown author (2007-04-14): Hello! This program is GREAT! I looked for a program like this for years, and now I found this great image resizer.
Unknown author (2007-04-14): Oups, I forgot to sign my comment (the last one).. So, I was
Unknown author (2007-04-14): Hi this is realy cool!! Pat (2007-04-15): I'm dense, Vlasta. Not a prgrammer, just a student. In order to put the resized pictures into a different folder, where and when should I type the new command? All I've done so far is drag my folder to the tool icon on my desktop and watch the resizing on the DOS screen. Thanks for your patience. This is a wonderful program. Vlasta (2007-04-15): Run the tool without any parameters and then put the "-cC:\Resized\<PATH><NAME>.jpg" in the additional options box and click the button to add the command to a context menu of .jpg files and folders. Pat (2007-04-16): I ran the tool without any parameters and typed "-cC:\Resized\" but was uncertain of the the correct <path> & <name> to type in before adding the ".jpg" and clicking the button. I tried several but none seemed to work. Once I find the correct path & name, do I still drag and drop from the original folder? Sorry to be so confused. Vlasta (2007-04-16): Just type it exactly like I said. The path and name will be taken from the original in that case. And no, you do not drag and drop the files in this case, you add the command to context menu of pictures and folders in Windows Explorer. Pat (2007-04-17): In the additional options box,
Vlasta (2007-04-17): Right-click on the folder and then click on the added command in the context menu. Pat (2007-04-18): Thanks, Vlasta. I did that, the DOS screen appeared, resizing the original photos but . . . where are the resized pictures? I can't find them. Vlasta (2007-04-18): They should be in the C:\Resized\ folder. If they are not, something went wrong - remove the command and add it again and. Unknown author (2007-04-28): great program! saved me lots of time Unknown author (2007-04-29): Hi. Does the program also process tif images? thank you, nice program! Vlasta (2007-04-30): No, it is only for color jpg images. Unknown author (2007-05-02): Thanks for this program, it's great.
Vlasta (2007-05-02): The <PATH> variable already works similarly, but it only contains the part of the path from the specified folder to the actual file. If you have your file in subfolders of folder A and process the whole folder A, your subfolders will be re-created. Not exactly what you wanted, but close, I hope.
Unknown author (2007-05-03): I need to batch crop 4:3 pictures to 16:9 format to show on my plasma screen, can this program do this without distorting? Vlasta (2007-05-03): No. AlainGdl (2007-05-07): Version 2 runs differently if input is a Folder or a single file.
AlainGdl (2007-05-07): additional information...
Vlasta (2007-05-07): Thanks for reporting the bug, it is now fixed and you may download it right now. AlainGdl (2007-05-07): WOW, congratulations for the very rapid update !!!!
Brian (2007-05-07): Hi, great little app! I need some help with syntax using -c. With the exe in C:\Test, I want to resize files in C:\DirectoryA and have the product appear in D:\DirectoryB. Can you show the exact syntax of this command? Thanks so much! Brian
Vlasta (2007-05-07): use c:\Test\PhotoResize.exe (additional options) "-cD:\DirectoryB\<PATH><NAME>.jpg" "C:\DirectoryA"
Brian (2007-05-07): Man that is awesome, works like a champ! Thanks! Goofy (2007-05-13): Just wanted to say thanks for a wonderful application! It's easy to download, and even easier to use! 10 out of 10 points for this :o). greymatter (2007-05-18): Brilliant piece of software. Am using it fro within my VB program to resize pics for upload to net.
Unknown author (2007-05-18): hAmed
Vlasta (2007-05-18): answers for greymatter:
greymatter (2007-05-19): You were correct. I had not changed BOTH the call and the exe file names. Works well now. This really is a clever piece of code. Grant (2007-05-22): Hi
Vlasta (2007-05-22): I am sorry but CMYK colorspace is not supported. Maybe in one of the next versions... Unknown author (2007-05-23): Is there a way to prevent the DOS CMD box from showing when calling it from a batch file (.bat)? Great program, btw. Vlasta (2007-05-24): I am afraid not, but it should not open its own console window and just use the one associated with the original .bat file. Moebius (2007-06-01): I noticed that on my setup, I can only drag and drop up to 21 files at a time. Any more and I get an error about the path.
Vlasta (2007-06-01): That is a known limitation caused by the maximum length of a command line on Windows (the error occurs before the tool is called). You'd be able to process more if the absolute paths to the files were shorter. BTW you can drag and drop entire folders to workaround the problem. Grant (2007-06-01): Is it possibel to rotate pics while resizeing them? Vlasta (2007-06-01): No, just resizing right now. This might be added in future versions, but I am still not entirely sure if it is appropriate for this tool. xiar (2007-06-05): Good utility. Works well.
Unknown author (2007-06-11): Great!! Was searching for something like this for Vista (no powertoy anymore)
andyinjapan (2007-06-14): Thanks, awesome tool......one question....(please) If I wanted to have a folder on the server and when ever pictures are drop in there they are alto reduced by resizer how can I do this?
Vlasta (2007-06-14): Such functionality is not built in. You will have to either use some tool to monitor the folder or periodically run the resizing operation. The S letter will make the tool skip files that were already resized. Unknown author (2007-06-16): This is amazing. Thank you SO much for making this! Unknown author (2007-06-18): Sorry if these are stupid questions, but:
Vlasta (2007-06-18): 1) with -o switch or O letter in filename; 2) no, jpeg only supports 8-bit per channel; B&W and CMYK jpegs are not supported. Unknown author (2007-06-22): Great program but i have a question, how can i make one image to be resized to 80x80 ? it seems i only can control one of the sizes and the other is auto. Vlasta (2007-06-22): Yes, rename to PhotoResize80x80.exe Unknown author (2007-06-22): Thanks a lot for the quick reply, i got confused.
viper (2007-06-23): I can't Change the output folder for Picture Resizer 2.0
Vlasta (2007-06-23): Be suer to use the -c switch, it is not visible on the screenshot. Unknown author (2007-06-23): Is it possible to automatically detect whether the picture is in portrait or landscape? (e.g. I want to resize all my pictures which are 1600x1200 or 1200x1600 to 640x480 or 480x640 respectively. Vlasta (2007-06-24): That is actually the default behavior, where the number specified defines the larger side. Unknown author (2007-06-29): ahoj Vlasto. hey do you plan to add control over the quality of the result image? I know you can partly control it by adding L(low), H(high) and G(good) to the filename but what about Qxx where xx is the user-defined quality? Anyway thank you for making this simple tool. I have just started using it but missing the quality control. I usually need to compress the file a wee bit (80-90%). Thx Tomaash Vlasta (2007-06-29): No Qxx right now, but there is a command line switch -q. You can add -q80 to the additional options box or if you want to use the drag and drop scenario, you can create a shortcut and add the switch there. BTW there is a Czech version of this page. Unknown author (2007-06-29): Thanx for quick reply and I am sorry that I missed the switch in your text. BTW would be more helpful to have list of all the switches at one place here. thanx again. ps: I am quite happy with english version... stevec (2007-07-14): I think this is the cure-all I've been looking for, for a very long time. Something I can use (I do computers for a living), something that average and very novice computer users I deal with can use. Since we can't outlaw 5mb JPG email attachments, we must then educate and inform the masses. Unknown author (2007-07-21): Your Picture Resizer is excellent - much better than the Microsoft Power toy utility. Please consider allowing the right click to work when more than one photo is selected. That would allow us to resize multiple photos at once. Thank you for your super efforts! Rob Vlasta (2007-07-21): ...if I remember correctly, when multiple files are selected, then Windows launches multiple instances of the tool, which is a bit confusing, but it should do the job correctly. The context menu command is also available when you click on folders - that might help. vanthoen (2007-07-22): Can I use this software on my website?
Vlasta (2007-07-22): By using you mean you want to re-distribute it? It is allowed (even with modified default name) as long as you reference the source. Unknown author (2007-07-22): Is it possible to automatically detect whether the picture is in portrait or landscape? (e.g. I want to resize all my pictures which are 1600x1200 or 1200x1600 to 640x480 or 480x640 respectively)
leen.roger (2007-07-22): leen.roder@skynet.be Vlasta (2007-07-22): Just PhotoResize640.exe should work in that case. FXxY only behaves differently if X and Y are not the same. Unknown author (2007-08-11): don't run in recursive directories
Vlasta (2007-08-12): Use R letter in filename of -r switch. ifisch (2007-08-25): Very nice tool, and superfast. I was looking for a batch resizer for the 16 GB of pictures (taken at 54 megapixels: 6000 x 9000!) from my duaghter's wedding, prior to uploading for printing. PR is a lifesaver. Unknown author (2007-08-29): This is one of the coolest software I've ever used! Nice work! Unknown author (2007-08-29): Monochrome JPG files are not supported? Vlasta (2007-08-29): No, they are currently not supported. Unknown author (2007-08-30): Is it possible to resize images so that they will either
Vlasta (2007-08-30): I am afraid, that is not possible. You would need to manually split the images on landscapes and portraits and then resize each group with different command. Unknown author (2007-09-05): Just want to say.. Thanks! What a wonderful program. It's free, no e-mail hassles and works splendidly.
Unknown author (2007-09-08): Uhhhh... Helo. Im trying to crop my photo, Will this work for that? send back to my email strawberry_n_chocolate20@yahoo.com Vlasta (2007-09-08): I am afraid no, it is just a resizer. Unknown author (2007-09-08): Its very good!! Unknown author (2007-09-09): This is AMAZING! Thanks so much! Unknown author (2007-09-09): Super concept.
Unknown author (2007-09-16): very nice.. can you add in an option to keep the original timestamp of the picture if you are doing a inplace replacement. cheers Unknown author (2007-09-20): This is the tool that I have been looking for! Graphics suites are too cumbersome for fast batch resizing. Awesome! Unknown author (2007-09-24): awsome tool! love it! Unknown author (2007-09-27): ahoj Vlasto. hey do you plan to add control over the quality of the result image? I know you can partly control it by adding L(low), H(high) and G(good) to the filename but what about Qxx where xx is the user-defined quality? Anyway thank you for making this simple tool. I have just started using it but missing the quality control. I usually need to compress the file a wee bit (80-90%). Thx Tomaash Unknown author (2007-10-03): Amazing, very impressed! Vlasta (2007-10-04): The Qxx may be eventually added. Until then, the shortcut trick can be used to add command line parameters. Unknown author (2007-10-06): What a wonderful thing, thank you. But it would be perfect if the filedate of a replaced picture the same as the original file date Vlasta (2007-10-08): Since this is not the first that someone requests this feature, it will be added in the next version. Unknown author (2007-10-09): It appears the PhotoResizer only supports 24 bit color? I tried resizing 8-Bit & 32-Bit and it shows an error message. Vlasta (2007-10-09): Yes, that is correct, greyscale and cmyk jpegs are not supported. Unknown author (2007-10-14): This tool would suit me perfectly if the <ROOT> variable was broken down into <DRIVE> and <ROOT> variables. I store my original images on a network drive (X:\Holiday\photo1.jpg), and want to be able to keep smaller versions on my local PC (C:\Docs & Settings\...\My Pictures\Holiday\photo1.jpg). This would also mean that it doesn't matter whether I convert a single image, a folder, or a folder of folders.
Unknown author (2007-10-19): Brilliant thanks billybadger (2007-10-27): Its a lovely tool to work with but I have one problem in that because the 400 is added to the name I can't get my photos recognised at the other end.Is it possible to rename without the 400 being included? Vlasta (2007-10-27): Yes, you can either add the I letter at the end of the filename (BUT it will overwrite the source files) or use the -c parameter to customize the output name. Read the descriptions above. MisterMoonlight (2007-10-29): Hi,
Vlasta (2007-10-29): Hm, when T is not used, the picture is read in any case and if the JFIF header with DPI is not present, the source is assumed to have 100 DPI, so you'll see no error if the header was not found. When T is used, the program looks for the header in the usual place and just overwrites the right bytes copying all the rest. A more robust algorithm that would create the header if necessary is possible, it might be added in one of the future versions. Unknown author (2007-10-30): I use it in ASP with ASPexec. It works fine with local images, but when I try to resize an image on a share of an other computer I get an error: "Parameter does not appear to be JPG image or folder"
Unknown author (2007-10-30): this is a very neat little program. if you are looking to add features though it would be nice for it to auto rotate the image based on EXIF data from the camera. Vlasta (2007-10-30): Kobus: it is possible that there are problems with shared paths. Try enclosing the parameter in quotes and if it does not help try mapping the remote server to a local drive.
john (2007-11-02): PhotoResize is just what I wanted! You have done simply what many other programs have made complicated and expensive. Unknown author (2007-11-06): I have problem with batch conversion from Explorer´s context menu. When I mark more than one image the program do nothing. In case of one image resize it works well. What did I do wrong?
Vlasta (2007-11-06): Resizing multiple images from Explorer's context menu could be a problem, because Explorer runs a separate the tool multiple times and each of them resizes one image. But it should work... Anyway, try running the command from folders' context menu. Unknown author (2007-11-07): Thank you, running from folders context menu works well, so I will use this method. jennypretty (2007-11-11): Hello,
Vlasta (2007-11-21): You can overwrite the original files if you use the I letter (PhotoResize400I.exe). Backup your images before you use this command. Unknown author (2007-11-24): good Unknown author (2007-12-01): great tool, thanks for saving me much time Unknown author (2007-12-05): Perhaps a new feature would preserve the time stamps of the original image so that you can continue to keep track of when photos were taken without having to look at the EXIF metadatas. Thanks! Unknown author (2007-12-13): Do you have Japanese directions? Vlasta (2007-12-14): No, just the ones you can see in the upper right corner. The pages were translated by volunteers. Unknown author (2007-12-16): My husband enjoyed this program very much, and he asked me to translate it into Japanese as I speak Japanese. I have completed translation, please let me know how to send the html file, or I have a link to the translated page if you are interested. Thank you for providing the great free program! Unknown author (2007-12-22): You are a hero Unknown author (2007-12-26): Why does it stop after 172 pictures every time I run it???? I start getting "Error in resizing....." on every file after the 172nd in a batch. Unknown author (2007-12-26): This is a very cool tool. I find it only handles 25 files at a time else I get an error - "The data area passed to a system call is to small". I'm running Vista, so I'll blame it on Microsoft. Any ideas on how to fix it would be appreciated. Vlasta (2007-12-27): ...odds are there is a problem with the 173rd file and the later...
Unknown author (2008-01-08): Very cool. Works just the way I prefer to do conversions. Thanks. Unknown author (2008-01-11): Amazing tool ... thx a looooot ! BossTurbo (2008-01-14): Great Software! It took me a couple hours to figure out how to set up all the features I needed, but I got it working smoooth now via batch file. Would be nice if it had an ability to remove all EXIF data but leave only the orientation flag. This way when viewing the files they will be rotated correctly (or just rotate the jpg automatically). I don't need all the EXIF data which just bloats the file size. Vlasta (2008-01-15): You can rotate by EXIF tag, remove EXIF (since it is already rotated) and resize using RW Photos, but you need to setup the operation correctly. Here is how to configure RW Photos to rotate and resize images for web. Unknown author (2008-01-15): If this would support .png format then it's perfect. Unknown author (2008-01-22): I love it. It's great. It's simple
Vlasta (2008-01-22): Maybe you are having problems with command line length - read one of the early comments on this topic. Or...if it worked with one image and now it does not work with the same one, check for viruses on your computer. Unknown author (2008-01-22): Vlasta, I can not change the DPI of an image without resampling too (i.e., DXT does not work). I get the error: "cannot find JFIF header". The file may not have an EXIF, but it does have a horizontal and vertical resolution embedded. Surely you can read that?
Vlasta (2008-01-23): You are right, the file does have a JFIF header. But it is not in the typical position at the start of the file. The DxT version is only able to work if the JFIF header is in the beginning of the file and it would need to be fixed in next version. kazmo (2008-01-25): just downloaded this and figured it was going to ... not be so good. i mean come on, a DOS window after each run? wow. i was so wrong. what an awesomely simple program that makes resizing rapid and idiot-proof. based on first-look, this is a must-have for webmasters that need to frequently post thumbnails. bravo! (i will be contributing!) Unknown author (2008-01-30): this is really an amazing software, thanks to the auther! you are an angel! Unknown author (2008-02-01): Is it possible to resize and change DPI in same operation? I can only do one or the other. Thx! Unknown author (2008-02-01): Is it possible to convert and replace the original file? Unknown author (2008-02-01): oops, found it ... it's -i ... in place ... Vlasta (2008-02-01): No, resizing and changing DPI to custom value is not possible in one step, but the second step is very fast and does only overwrite the two numbers in the header. Unknown author (2008-02-11): kewl software!!!! Unknown author (2008-02-20): apparently it only works on 24bit jpg's not 8bit jpg's PeterJZ (2008-03-02): Vlasta, I need your help, please.
Vlasta (2008-03-02): Well, I do not use VB, but the quotes really should do the trick.
PeterJZ (2008-03-02): Thanks a million, Vlasta, it works as you suggested! And thanks also for a fantastic program to work with!! Unknown author (2008-03-02): I wish the program could resize PNG, GIF and MBP files! Unknown author (2008-03-16): I like your program. Is there a way to name the output file with its dimensions (in correct order)? PhotoResizerF1200X900.exe seems closest to what I want: a 3648x2736 file gets named MyPhoto1-F1200x900 and 2736x3648 gets named MyPhoto2-F1200x900. I would like the 3648x2736 file named MyPhoto1-1200x900 (no "F") and the 2736x3648 named MyPhoto2-900x1200 (no "F", numbers in correct order). Thank you. Unknown author (2008-03-17): I like the fact that it just works without a setup.exe
Vlasta (2008-03-18): The option is there and much more. Read the description ^. Unknown author (2008-03-18): Nice site! Unknown author (2008-03-20): for the send to option.
John (2008-03-25): There aren't any Power Toys for Vista, so I'm trying to use this to emulate the XP Power Toy which resized pictures. I've added the program to the context menu. When I right click on a folder containing pictures, the Picture Resizer option appears. However, when I right click on an individual .jpg, the Picture Resizer option does NOT appear. Is there some trick to getting the Picture Resizer option in the context menu for an individual .jpg? Vlasta (2008-03-25): You observation is correct. I am not sure, but it seems like the behavior of Vista was changed recently. I am going to fix this in a couple of days. Unknown author (2008-03-26): Great tool - Thnaks! Unknown author (2008-04-04): this looks cool, thanks so much. what do i do if i want to both 1) skip files that are already smaller than the required size, and 2) set output quality to 'high'? do i rename the .exe to PhotoResize800SH.exe? (i want 800px-sized pictures)
Vlasta (2008-04-04): Yes, you can combine the letters, both HS and SH after the number are OK. If you want to use the command line flags while adding command to menu, put them into the additional options box and be sure to read the advanced options page, because the switches are different from the letters. For example, there is no -h for high quality, you should use -q90 for the same effect. Unknown author (2008-04-04): thanks for your reply. i seem to be getting what i want.
Vlasta (2008-04-05): 1) linear interpolation for magnification, pixel coverage for minification (weighted average of the original pixels); with gamma assumed to be 1.6
Unknown author (2008-04-05): >> though, you should put space between the switches: -o -q95 -n
Unknown author (2008-04-08): Great program, I use it all the time. However, has the problem of choosing many files (more than command-line length) been solved yet? I still get errors with version 2.0 when dragging like 100 files onto the Icon on my desktop. If you could get that licked, this would become the indispensible file resizer. Vlasta (2008-04-08): Unfortunately, that is a Windows problem (or more precisely "limitation") and it occurs before the program is even started. Report it to Microsoft ;-). Unknown author (2008-04-14): I'm using Windows 98 but when I try to run the Windows 98 version of picture resizer it says that it expects a newer version of windows Vlasta (2008-04-15): ...I have checked it and you are right, there is a compatibility problem. It should be fixed now, but there may still be small problem with specifying some parameters in filename on Win98. Unknown author (2008-04-15): a very good software for sizing down the photos Unknown author (2008-04-15): saachi - Just making a quick suggestion which I'm sure you would have already considered. If resize dimensions are a different ratio then the sources then possibly just crop to maintain aspect (via switch?). This is otherwise the most functional (besides cmd window but thats negligible) and esiest resize app around. Props. Unknown author (2008-04-16): Very nice!!!! Thank you! Hyland (2008-04-17): This program is excellent!
Vlasta (2008-04-18): 1) Unfortunately no. I guess copying all files not matching *.jpg should be possible using some scripting language. Definitely on Linux and most likely on Windows, but I am no expert on this ( try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Script_Host ).
Unknown author (2008-04-18): Really nice program! Just one thing: can you please add a parameter to hide the command prompt window? Thank you in advance! Vlasta (2008-04-18): There is the -o parameter, which closes the window after the work is done without need to wait for Enter key. Other than that, the output is generally useful, because it will show if the resizing was successful or not. The window can only be hidden if the tool is started from another application with appropriate Windows API call. Unknown author (2008-04-19): I see. I use the -o parameter. But I usually process one or two pictures at time (e.g. to write an email) and the prompt command window is kind of annoying (no offense). Please, consider since it's just a simple feature that will be optionally used by us. Let the user make a choice here too. Please! :) russell (2008-04-21): This program is so much fun to use. Thank you :)
Vlasta (2008-04-21): Well, yes, PhotoResizeP100.exe will resize to 100% and re-compress the image. Some quality will be lost of course, but the file size is likely to decrease, because image from cameras are usually using a very high (often unnecessary (the sensor is not that good anyway)) quality setting. russell (2008-04-22): ahh, i didn't think about using the percentage thing. excellent work :) Unknown author (2008-05-02): Cropping? Vlasta (2008-05-03): cropping is hard to do without GUI, try retargeting wallpaergirl (2008-05-16): Hello, I’ve been looking for months for a tool that actually does image resizing by maintaining quality of the picture. I’ve stepped over a new tool that I’ve found at reshade.com which satisfied me completely so I thought that there must me more like me out there, regular people who were amazed by this video but didn’t quite know what to do with it, who just wanted to use the feature in it. Vlasta (2008-05-16): ^ I do not look kindly on people trying to advertise their commercial products here. :-( |
