Get PhotoShop ... you'll wonder how you lived without it ... takes time to learn its features because there's so many of them, but wow, you can do some amazing things with it ... check my profile and see my website for some examples! If you have PhotoShop, resizing is simple. Load image, then select from the menu: Image -> Image Size ... Then type the new size in the dialogue box. Tick "Constrain proportions" to make sure that your resize doesn't distort the picture.  |

Distributed under the GNU licence (i.e., it's a free download, and you get the source code too!). Something like 80% of the functionality of PhotoShop with zero cost. Go here to find out more. Oh, and you can get plugins. Including ones that allow you to open and save PhotoShop PSD files, complete with la Last edited by Calilasseia at 01-May-2005 01:02 |

| denver Mega Fish Mile High.... Posts: 1031 Kudos: 205 Votes: 110 Registered: 25-Jul-2000 | See, I can't stand the gimp. I've tried it (granted without the PS interface - but since I don't have a mac, I can't try it out), but I just couldn't get it to do what I wanted efficiently. Maybe its because I've become so used to photoshop. As it is, I'm about ready to order CS2 now that its out... |
