Quick Image Resize using Faststone Image Viewer

Fast Stone Image Viewer is my favorite image viewer. It's free and also very powerful. Thumbs up for the programmer. I already have a post about it, but I can't stop myself from reviewing this freeware. It's a lose if we don't have this great and free viewer.

Quick Resize is a function that makes image resizing in Faststone Image Viewer easier. To resize an image, simply follow these steps:
1. Open the image file you want to resize, then move your mouse pointer to the right.
2. After that you will see the menu. Click Quick Resize.
3. Then select the resolution you want. You will see that image is resized after you click.
4. Move the pointer to the right again. Click Save As to save the file with a new name.
5. Type in the file name and click Save. Just that simple.

N.B.
On the save dialog box, you can also adjust the Jpeg options and compare the picture by clicking Options button.

About a year ago, one of my friend had a trouble with viewing large size picture. She said that the computer was running very slowly when viewing pictures. I told her to resize the image size.

But after resizing, I found that converting JPEG to BMP and then back again from BMP to JPEG will reduce the size a little more. Then I kept on converting from JPEG to BMP - BMP to JPEG again for 3 or 4 times.

The result was I got an image with smaller size but with almost same quality displayed on the monitor screen. But I didn't try printing the original one and the converted one. Maybe you can try the conversion and print them. Then compare them!

Today when I was trying to print 45 copies of a JPEG image with the file size of 6,729 KB and with 3508 x 2480 resolution 24 bit color, I also had the same problem. I suddenly thought of a program which can be used to convert and reduce image size.

It's a very simple to use image converter program. Don't miss it!

Conversion also plays an important role in managing files, especially when the programs you are using need different formats. It's also important for reducing file size.

This time I'll just describe Image Converter. Next time, maybe I'll post about Audio / Video Converter.
