Batch resizing tool
Sup
So I've got a chick that does alot of image resizing as part of her role, and is struggling with resizing tools. What is the current best tool for automating this sort of thing? |

I'll bet she could resize my tool
Photoshop. File -> Scripts -> Image Processor |

I mentioned photoshop so as to avoid installing additional software, since everyone already has photoshop.
But there are a thousand tools like this, just go to a download site like tucows or whatever and do a search. I doubt there is a 'current best tool', they are very simple programs. |

Irfanview batch mode will do it; it is freeware. http://www.ausgamers.com/files/details/html/69939
ImageMagick command line tools will do it too |

Assuming it's basic image resizing, Irfanview is free and extremely customisable when it comes to that. If it's for professional photos/images of abnormally higher bit-depth, etc (that normal software doesn't support) .. then you're better off with Photoshop style programs.
Just make sure you have "Resample" enabled, otherwise it'll do nearest-neighbour interpolation. http://users.on.net/~deadsimple/images/irf.png |

one of the first tools i install on any windows install is the image resizer. (not sure why its not a default windows tool)
select however many images, right click, resize. it does standard sizing, but can also do custom. simple, fast, easy. http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/ i hate tards that post 3meg or bigger images in emails and on forums |

doesn't CS4 (i know, no photoshop, but still) have the droplets you can make (basiclly simple work flows, drop a whole folder on the droplett, and it does the same commands to all the files, and spits them to a set folder, bam!)

I use VSO Image Resizer at home and it works well and is easy to use. Easy enough that I was even able to teach my mum how to use it.
They use a program called Fotosizer at work that even work chumps have figured out how to use, so It's pretty simple too. |

The same thing for photoshop exists in GNU image manipulator program (GIMP).
Quick google would have been better than this thread IMO. If you aren't just going from 1 absolute size to another absolute size then things get tricky though. Edit: What do you mean by 'struggling' as in 'isn't competent' or more that the tool she uses isn't very good, and if so in what way? What does 'best' mean? |

now that I'm on my PC, I'll add more to "mogrify"
http://www.imagemagick.org/www/mogrify.html you could set it up on a timer so all she has to do is drop a bunch of files in a directory at night, in the morning they'd be resized and she can just move them to wherever, or just make some sort of batch file & drop a directory onto it or what I did, add a menu entry to the right click menu for folders |

Powertools, image re-sizer? yer, thats what i used to use, doesnt exist for windows 7 though. shame, it should have been made a default windows tool. |

+1 for.
http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/ Great tool, I think the above is a Win7 compatible version of the WinXP Powertools original. I use InfranView or Photoshop if it's more advanced. |
