Resize Pictures

Thanks for the info. I was hoping for it to be included but I will keep a
very close watch for it being added as a power toy. It helps me tremendously
as an email administrator for my company as most of the emails that exceed
allowed size are due to very large pictures being sent to us. We also use it
maintain a very large photo database that our users can access over the
internet.

Here's a useful workaround. When you email pictures, you have the option to
resize them before sending. So from Explorer, right click on the image and
chose "Send To->Mail Recipient." Choose the size you want. If this is your
first time using mail, you'll be asked to provide email settings. If you
won't be using email, you can just specify a few random characters in each
field. A email will be generated that contains your resized image(s) as
attachments. You can drag them from the email and do with them as you wish.
Then close the email without sending.

Thanks for this workaround, I too use image resizer frequently.

The lack of a Powertoys Image Resizer has stopped me from completely porting
all my programs over to VISTA. I really need an easy and fast resizer like
the PowerToys Resizer. Now that VISTA has been RTM, any chance of getting an
Image Resizer that will work with VISTA?

Thanks, Mike. This product does solve my problem- especially since it easily
does batch files. But I do miss the ability to resize by simply using a right
mouse click.

does anyone have a fix when the email option on picture gallery or explorer
doesn't open a new email. It prompts me to resize and attach, but never
opens the message.

I'm having this exact same problem. (I right-click, selct "Send to...Mail
Recipient", select size, selct "Attach", and then no mail window opens up.
Nothing happens.)

I am using Outlook 2007 with Windows Vista Home Premium Edition. Outlook is
set as my default mail software with all associations for extensions and
protocols.

I am desperate to determine why this is not working. Any help would be so
appreciated. Thank you.

John,

Any word on a PowerToy for Vista? I'm even ok with it being an Ultimate
Extra. I'm anxious because I just upgraded my wife to Vista and she hates
the email-resize workaround. You have to admit it's pretty dumb to have the
resize funcationality in Vista but not expose it seperately.

email", select the appropiate size an BOOM. After "compresing" the photos in
a split second in the temps, nothing ever happens...

Do you have a default email program set?

It works fine here, with Tbird.

Try out this "Free Online Image Resizer/Converter" at Ivertech. It has blazing fast resizing speed. The site also offers a downloadable version that allows you to right-click an image in Vista to resize. You can also drag and drop images into the program to resize them.
