A while ago you may saw my older post about a Microsoft Powertoy-Image Resize clone. Of course this was just a clone of the program to be use with Windows Vista. I have used it many times and it works well but the quality of the photos really degrade and it bothers the heck out of me.
I recently came across a new program for Windows XP or Vista called VSO Image Resizer – this is one great handy program. VSO Image Resizer is a free program, but they do have a paid version.
With this free resize image software, you can create e-mail friendly versions of your images, load them faster, move them easily from folder to folder, change their format, edit large numbers of image files/batch image resize and thus save space on your hard drive. Using high resolution 1600×1200 for creating wallpaper or file-sharing you can save your memory. VSO Image Resizer can also change file names using a template and you can add your own watermark with transparency support.
VSO Image resizer is integrated into the Windows explorer shell, right click on your pictures and start working on your pictures !
I have not noticed any degrade of image quality and it works very well when you are doing batch jobs. How ever if you do a ton of photography like I do, then this isn’t a very great way of resizing photos because though it might look alright, but there could be lost of data. So use Photoshop or something similar!
This is the interface, as you can tell it is very clean and easy to use. Also you can see all the neat features it offers!
And this is the processing box.
So if you have a ton of photos to resize for facebook to increase upload time, this is the program to use! I know you will like it and it is a better tool than the powertoy one. So download it now!
Uh oh! did you just have a ton of photos from your vacation in Italy? and when you got back home they were all gone? Well no need to worry, PC Inspector is here! Ok, this is starting to sound lame isn’t it? sounds like a bunch of crap? Nope. If you take a lot of photo and use a memory card (more than likely) All do you is take out your camera’s memory card and pop it in your card reader and windows will recognize it just like a hard drive and then you start up PC Inspector and choose witch drive you want to scan, If your card is on driver letter J: like mine is then all you do is select that and it will check it first, if it is too damaged it will do a deep scan. Depending on the size if your memory card it could take a long time, But it is worth the wait.
