Do you use a photo editing or photo organizing program such as photoshop, lightroom, picasa, gimp, aperture or paint shop?

If you are lucky enough to still be using XP, go to the XP powertoys page and download the picture resizer tool.
It is VERY easy, quick, and very good.

I have had to change to Vista and I miss my resizer desperately!!!

Oh Charlie, if you download the resizer, let me introduce you to a little secret:

the very first time I tried to use it (after installation), I searched high and low for the darn program and couldn't find it.

What happens is that you simply right click on an image file, and the resizer shows up as an option in the menu.

When I looked in the images in their files and right click there was an resize picture option but it didn't seem to work sigh....
