Coooleeey Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Anyone know of a free photo editing application? I'm looking for something simple and easy that I can use to reduce the size of jpg's. I have software at home but want something here at the office. Needs to be free of spyware and all that bullhonkey. WORD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coooleeey Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Paint will crop images but it won't resize them. I have some pics a friend sent to me that are HUGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterwagen Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I'm sure GIMP will do that for you. Probably the most well known free graphics manipulation app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 In paint, click Image, then click Stretch/Skew. In the stretch area, there are two numbers that each show the number 100. If you change each number to another smaller number, the pic will be resized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only caveat is that I'm not sure it does as good of a job as more powerful software. So if image quality is important, you might want to look elsewhere.

I've never noticed a problem, other than that jpg sucks. If you really want quality, stick with bmp, but I'm sure you know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnedAussie Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I'm sure GIMP will do that for you. Probably the most well known free graphics manipulation app. The beauty of GIMP is that it's a clone of PS without the expense.

Tarhog Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I love Microsoft Office Picture Manager .... its the only photo editing program that I've found that allows you to simply resize 100's of hi-res photos at one time. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it does what it does better than anything else I've found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DButz65 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Paint Shop Pro 6 user here, have never used anything else. They used to have older versions to DL for free, dont know if they still do or not now a days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerful enough to do many of the tasks that Photoshop is overkill for without being too advanced to learn. Anyways, GIMP is the staple free graphics program.
