Automatic Resize
« on: April 17, 2007, 06:11 PM »
Is there anyway to automatically resize images? I am trying to take a screenshot of a small area every five second and then resize the screenshot to be larger, for output to an overhead monitor. I have a grabber that gets the image file from a folder, so I would think that the resize would want to happen automatically right before the save.
Anyone have any ideas?

I guess the real question is, is there a way to do this Screenshot captor, or an easy way to automate the process with an external editor?

Managed to find something that worked, can use the windows magnification tool to magnify an area of the screen, then capture the image. I still have something funky going on in that I get a 'can't write file to "." ' every once in a while, but otherwise, a fantastic program that provides more functionality than anything else around.

There are good batch resizing tools you could use, and you could even configure one as a tool in the screenshot captor Tool menu so you could trigger it from a convenient menu.
