I just bought a new router it's a Linksys wireless-G broadband Router. It came with a program named Network Magic it had a free trial period which has expired is this program something I need? I have a win XP computer and a laptop with vista on it when I check the program it looks like it helps you with internet connection. Barbara

Hi Joe, I`m not sure if my original email got through. I use a very simple program to resize photos, which can easily do a batch or singles. You can download it (freebie) at http://www.snapfiles.com.get/pixsizer.html I have been using it for many years now, and prefer it to other programs on offer. Ken Smart.

A program I use is East Thumbs, a free program that allows you to enter any size you want them to be, below the original size down to very tiny thumbs. It will change one photo, or the whole directory at one time http://www.fookes.com/ezthumbs/ Bea ----- Original Message ---- > From: "Joenoro@wmconnect.com" <Joenoro@wmconnect.com> > To: computers@rootsweb.com > Sent: Saturday, June 13, 2009 4:53:15 PM > Subject: [COMPUTERS] Resizing photos > > > I have been sent some tombstone photos for one of my cemetery pages.

Hi Joe I am not sure of the steps you are taking to re-size your image. Or your skill level, so this might be too basic, but it sounds as though you are just changing the display view in Irfanview (Under the 'View Menu'). Irfanview also offer's Image manipulation, which is located under the 'Image Menu' - changes made using the resample/resize option and saved will reduce the image size when loaded in future and elsewhere. How to change the size in Irfanview: 1. start Irfanview, and load the image. 2. Select 'Image Menu', then 'Information' This will tell you the picture size note the following: a) Resolution (usually in DPI) b) Original & Current Image Size c) Print Size (based on the DPI) 3. Click OK to exit 4. Select 'Image Menu' and 'Resize/Resample' This gives you options to change the image by setting its size changing it by a percentage, or to standard screen sizes. 5. Select the size you want, and if you are confident the DPI. DPI or Dots per Inch, sets the quality 70DPI is fine for web use 150 DPI is good quality - 300 is high quality but creates a large file. DPI adjustment without resizing affects the print and screen size of the image. 6. Click OK when you are happy. 7. Repeat step one and compare the sizes quoted. 8. When you are happy with the size, including 'size on disc' click on File, Save as (or Save if you do not want to keep the original) If you want a fuller explanation of DPI visit http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-dpi.htm Should you be using other programs such as XNView, the options are all there (although the 'Information' option is less helpful) Regards Bernard. -----Original Message----- From: computers-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:computers-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Joenoro@wmconnect.com Sent: 13 June 2009 20:53 To: computers@rootsweb.com Subject: [COMPUTERS] Resizing photos I have been sent some tombstone photos for one of my cemetery pages.

Do you have some image dimensions coded into your html on your site? If you do, that would force the image into those dimensions. You could ask on the Freepages discussion group. Give your site's URL so that people can look at the code.

Hi Joe, A very good "freebie" is PIXresizer. Simple and very easy to use. Suggest you "google' for it.

Hi Joe, What program are you using to re-size the photos? For quick work on a lot of photos, I use a program called Irfanview, which allows you to make a selection of photos and resize them in a batch process. If you want to try the program (it's free), I can guide you through the process of doing a batch re-size. Let me know... Irfanview http://www.irfanview.com/ Regards, Kevin.

I'm far from an expert, but that happened several times to me--both times I closed them in dismay. I opened again later to think about resizing and, to my surprise, both opened up in a 'regular' size. I have no idea why or how--I did nothing different in opening them the second time.

I have been sent some tombstone photos for one of my cemetery pages. They are huge and I cannot seem to make them appear smaller. I have thumbnails of them which when clicked on should give an enlarged view, but the enlarged images are too large for the screen. Have tried resizing them but am not having any success after FTPing them and reopening. They are still too large to be viewed. Any ideas? Thanks. Joe
