Today's GiveAway is the fastest photo resizer I have tried

(1/3) > >>

Curt:
For half a year I have been looking for an easy and fast way to resize my pictures. Not batch resizing of a lot of pictures in one go, but   one by one   now and then   for a special purpose (very often I want the pics I upload to DC to be no more than 560 pixels wide). For a long time I assumed the feature had to be integrated with the context menu, but none of the apps I have been trying would give me what I wanted. The one that came closest was Microsoft's Photo Power Toy, Image Resizer, but it won't let me save settings for any other dimensions than the ones some bureaucrat determined once and for all.

However, today's giveaway offer, DropBox Image Processor have rapidly proven itself to be very easy, fast and reliable to use. Do the settings, and drag and drop the image to the auto-hiding auto-popout window's box in the margen, and the resizing is all  done. If you want several preset dimensions you can just add several boxes into the same window.

Edit: Of course I should't have written it is The Fastest Resizer, it is no faster than the next resizer, but it is a lot easier to use than anything else I have tried, and therefor the total process is faster. As for my special request, I have the dimension presets to be 560 x 9999 pixels - and it is working fine.

The program can do a lot more, it is kind of an editor, but I have so far only been interested in the resizing feature.

DropBox Image Processor performs various image editing process such as rotate; flip; resize; adjust color; adding watermark, text, frame, or shadow; red-eye fixer; etc.

Thanks for drawing attention to DropBox Image Processor.
I usually glance at the give-aways but a recommendation heightens my interest.
I grabbed this one; the price is right.

Thanks for the heads up and the evaluation, Curt. One of the reasons that I follow the RSS feed from Giveaway of The Day is that I often find better, more interesting (and almost always free) programs in the comments made by naysayers. This has several advantages perhaps paramount being the situation which I'm not facing. I must do an OS reinstall on one of my machines and all of the GAOTD applications will become toast in the process. C&P!!

Thanks for the heads up, my insert-relative-title-here needs some thing easy and this looks good :)
