What is image carving?
Image seam carving is an algorithm for content-aware image resizing invented by
Shai Avidan and Ariel Shamir (http://www.faculty.idc.ac.il/arik/).
The method takes content of the resized image into account and removes least significant pixels first.
Picture Resizer 3.0 uses combination of classic image resampling and image carving to change
both size and aspect ratio of a picture and preserve as much of the original as possible while filling
the whole destination rectangle.
Adjusting wallpapers
The need to adjust aspect ratio of wallpapers was the main motivation for the addition of the retargeting
function in Picture Resizer 3.0. While digital cameras usually have a 4:3 aspect ratio, LCD displays
use another ones, like 5:4, 8:5 or 16:9. PhotoResize.exe can adjust your photos for your display. Just let
it know your wishes and pray.
Image aspect ratio was changed. Note that the clouds appear to have been moved rather than distorted.
How to do it
Rename the application and use the G letter in the filename before the actual resolution.
Then drag and drop the photo on the tool's icon and it will adjust it for you. Here are the 4 most typical settings:
- PhotoResizeG1024x768.exe - 14", 15" displays.
- PhotoResizeG1280x1024.exe - 17", 19" displays.
- PhotoResizeG1600x1200.exe - 19" and larger displays.
- PhotoResizeG1680x1050.exe - 19" and larger displays (wide screen).
If you are not sure, what resolution is your display using, look up the display properties
in Control Panel. Your internet browser states that your screen resolution is:
pixels.

I have a suggestion regarding the instructions to use Control Panel to determine your screen/display resolution. Here is an easier and quicker method:

Suggested text:
To find the resolution of your display, Right-Click on a clear area of your desktop and select Properties>>Settings. You will find the Screen Resolution slider on the left side of the Properties window. The display resolution is shown directly below the slider.
You can find (and adjust) your display's Color Quality (depth) here as well. Color Quality info and selection is located on the right side of the tab.

IE. I've 40 photos in C:\photos\sunday
IE. I've 25 photos in c:\photos\easter
When I use the command "-cC:\images" it copies all the photos to that one directory, not retaining their original locations.
I want "-cC:\images" to do the following
a). Resized images go to C:\images\sunday
b). Resized images go to C:\images\monday
Not all going to C:\images!!
Thanks :)
