persephone Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 hi... I am looking for a FREE ,SIMPLE resizing program for my elderly Dad...he keeps on sending me 2mp pics :rolleyes: takes nearly an hour to download!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! photorazr and irfanview are out,definitely.(don't know how anyone can understand irfanview... :D ) he does not use picasa, photoshop or any online photo-hosting programs. I would like a very simple..visual on-screen thingy... remember seeing one at some stage..it showed the photo..then previews of size etc..and was very much click and click, and done cannot find anything decent...and it is taking forever with dial-up anyone? I don't think he uses O/E or outlook either May have to suggest it. Seeing as how he lives waay up in Q'land any explaining is on phone or via email... makes things tricky. THANKS!!

kja Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I thought picasa was not only free, but super easy? I don't have it but I thought that was it's claim to fame... I thought there was something that came with Windoze, too... OK, how's this if he's on Windows... right click the photo, Send to, Mail recipient, make all my pictures smaller, Show more options, tick Small, OK - goes right to the mail program already as an attachment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janba Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I use Picassa too for emailing photos. You can set the default size for emailing under "tools", "options". If he doesn't use outlook you can set up a free google email to use with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
