Download Visualizer Photo Resize

Photo resizing is one of those time consuming tasks best left to software. A few hundred images on a digital camera can take forever to crop to a size people can easily preview without needing to add an extra Internet connection to get the original image files passed along to friends and family. Visualizer Photo Resize does a slick job generating smaller versions of a directory of photos, saving the new versions to a new directory and leaving the originals unharmed. Change the aspect ratio, adjust the size and choose a watermarking method to add a copyright or to make them less attractive to uninvited downloaders. A stretching feature will scale images up to an unmatched aspect ratio, although I don't recommend using it. A ton of right-click edit features let you tweak individual photos prior to doing batch adjustments. Email images directly from the app via your default mailing program. The biggest downside is Visualizer Photo Resize only works with JPG images. [Windows 9x/2k/XP $0.00]
