Re: Image resizer toy
Quite a while back, my friend and software Guru put me on to a little FREE program called "Photo Filtre". (it's French)
I set it up as the default viewer for all my picture types.
It a full featured picture editor, to resize, rotate, add brighness or contrast, add text, change picture type, etc.
I even use it for quick and faultless "Screen Capture" and 'Screen Print'.
I put the shortcut to Photo Filtre in the Quick Launch Toolbar for ease of access.

This picture of my Suzuki SX4, has been cropped, and text added, all with Photo Filtre.
Did I mention it's FREE?
