With digital cameras and mobile phones now in the 10 plus mega pixels, the image size is largely increased making the photos taken using digital cameras to above 5MB. Sharing photos with your friends or placing them into a document might not be as practical as you would like. If you don't know what I mean insert a 10 Mega Pixel photo into Excel. Now obviously you can load the photos into a program like Photoshop but not everyone has Photoshop and it does take a while to do it.
Image Resizer Power Toy by Microsoft which was previously available for Windows XP has now been cloned and written for Vista and Windows 7 32 and 64 bit editions. The new version is developed by the guys at Codeplex. This free tool will help you resize images using the right click menu. Once installed, the tool will add an entry to Windows Explorer context menu.
Once the software is installed you simply select your photo or photos as the tool will work in a batch. Right click on the photos and you will see a resize pictures option. Once selected you will be presented with different sizes available for resize. You can select predefined size or a custom size and the tool also provides you with option to either resize the original image or create a new image which is resized.
