robdurant Posted December 30, 2022 Author #31 Posted December 30, 2022 Okay - time for another update. Version 1.10 - If you select the option to modify individual images as they are resized, you will now notice that there is an option to modify the saturation, hue and luminance for each image. This allows you to make them black and white for example, by reducing the saturation to the minimum. The functionality is described in the documentation, which can be found here: PictureResizer.Documentation.20221222.pdf And the app itself is on the website: https://www.durant.biz/pictureresizer/ As always, this is programmed in my spare time to try and be helpful, so I do all I can to make sure it will play nicely, but you do use it at your own risk. I've started playing with cropping, and hope that there might be the possibility of cropping images before they are resized someway down the line. I know it's possible, but I haven't managed to get it working reliably yet, hence I'm not sending it out into the wild Watch this space!

robdurant Posted February 19, 2023 Author #32 Posted February 19, 2023 I'm conscious that many of our wonderful family here on ModelShipWorld.com are not native English speakers. My little offering to brighten your day is Version 1.12.0 of Picture Resizer (available at https://www.durant.biz/pictureresizer/ ) which now supports languages natively for the main application window (I'll add support for the other windows soon). All you need do is install the application and it will show the application in the language your computer uses (It currently supports French, German, Dutch and English) if it can't find your language, it will drop back to English) Languages are not my area of expertise, so "Calling all linguists"... If you speak German, French or another language, and you're reasonably au-fait with computer, and you would like this application to support your mother-tongue / preferred language natively, please could you translate the following, and I'll add this support into the application... The English terms at the moment are as follows, and the French, German and Dutch attempts are below (with big apologies in advance for what are a mix of guesswork and google translate... please help me make these better!)

robdurant Posted February 25, 2023 Author #34 Posted February 25, 2023 Version 1.13.0 now available on https://www.durant.biz/pictureresizer now supports cropping (with the option to maintain the aspect ratio of the image) on a per image basis as you resize your photos. Simply select "begin cropping" or click and drag to select a region of the image, then resize it until you're happy with the size. Selecting the "maintain aspect ratio" checkbox will mean that each time you resize the selection it will keep the width to height ratio the same as that of the original image (i.e. 16:9, 4:3, etc...) Then when you resize the image, it will crop the image to the rectangle. Hope it's helpful Happy resizing!

robdurant Posted February 25, 2023 Author #36 Posted February 25, 2023 Hi, If you click the windows button, and type "add remove program" and select "Add or remove programs" Now , you can search for the Picture Resizer application, select the three dots on the right hand side and uninstall it. Once that is complete you can install the new version downloaded from the website. Hope that helps.

shipman Posted February 25, 2023 #37 Posted February 25, 2023 This is what I use. It's a free download programme and is a doddle to use, watch the vid and see what you think. There may well be better, but this is free. mtaylor and Obormotov 2 Quote

My desire in writing this software was primarily that it hard-coded the information that sets the rotation on website pages...This rotation information causes a lot of confusion to users who see a photo the right way up on their cameras but then it displays the wrong way online. It may well be that the software you have pointed to does the same, but I had struggled to find something that did that reliably for free Glad you found an app that works well for you.
