Okay I admit it I'm a total Numpty where things like this are concerned.

I have been wanting to stick a few recent photos in the gallery, but since I've bought my new camera I've been unable to.:cry: They work no problem on my facebook pages I clicked on that link sticky thing that Danno posts at the start of the gallery. I downlaoded AVS image conveter, but given a not activated message when I click on it ( I think that means it puts an unwanted watermark on all images uploaded):daft:

All photos taken with my new camera are 4000x3000 and about 3+mb

Any other good re-sizers I can use??

Thank you. Good people

Paint is not ideal for resizing images in my opinion.

There is a great little tool available for automatically resizing images, appropriately named Image Resizer. It was released as a free download for Windows XP, available here:

I use paint when I've needed to with no issues.

Also has a very good "export for web" plugin that is very useful!

I've been using this for years, a great project.

What is wrong with it? :confused:It's slow and inefficient for anything other than one or two images. You need to go through the same process for each file, whereas an image resizing tool with a batch option will resize an entire folder before you've even opened a file in Paint :)

Judging by the OP's requirements, I think he only needs to resize 3 or 4 images at a time, therefore no need to download a 3rd party application, when you've got a tool that will do it fin on your computer already IMO. :)

In my opinion, it is the best tool for the job :)
