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?

Nah not photoshop dawg

Thinking under $1k

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

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.

i hate tards that post 3meg or bigger images in emails and on forums

ACDSee

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!)

Mogrify

MS Office picture manager ftw

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?

tucows is still a thing?

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.

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.
