Photo Razor
« on: May 19, 2007, 07:20:50 AM »
:idea: I came across this useful utility that I have been testing the last couple of weeks which you may find useful. It's called PhotoRazor from Stormdance and it can resize a whole folder of photos to the same size in a couple of clicks. I find it ideal for making large pictures smaller especially for standardizing sizes for web pages and it is free. Stormdance also have some other useful utilities and there is a user forum too. There is even a web design software but I haven't tried it. See their homepage for their cool stuff.

Re: Photo Razor vs Ez Thumbnails

Looks Lovely.

Many of us have used the freeware Ez Thumbnails by FOOKES for years to do this same thing.  Can set your smaller image to any size you need, save to separate folder or within the same folder while adding a prefix to each new file name. (ex myfile.jpg would stay with that name but the thumbnail would become tn_myfile.jpg)  Ez Thumbnails also allows for simple adjustments to photos too (Brightness, sharpness, contrast, rotation and adjust the quality of the exported jpg image.  New version even supports gif images (haven't upgraded yet).

Irfanview can also do thumbnails in the batch conversion mode.

Yup.  Used Irfanview for it and even written batch macro in PSP9 for it, but I still prefer EZ Thumbnails for it.
