Program for Batch Resizing & Cropping

[RalphP13]

I'm looking for a relatively simple program that allows you to take a group of photographs and resize them as a group to a standard/set size. Allowing me to selectively crop would also be nice.

I use Corel for post-processing and I know both Photoshop and Corel allow for creating scripts to do a similar thing, however, I was wondering if there was a freeware or shareware program out there that might be a little simpler and easier to use to accomplish the same task.

I found a few things that look like they might work however; I hate downloading multiple trial versions of software, and then deleting them, leaving bits and pieces of the programs everywhere. I was just wondering if somebody already knew of a nice program for doing this, and if they would be so kind as to share that information.


Thank you, Ralph

Have a look at Irfanview. It's a very lightweight program that has some great batch abilities. I'm not sure about the cropping though.

Thanks. I'll take a look at that one.

My windows live photo gallery can do batch resizing. I'm using windows 7.

The free Visualizer Photo Resize is a great software. Pretty quick to. I have had friends unable to distinguish sharpness of blown up photos that were resized down by ten (10) times.
Grab it till it is still free for personal use.

i had a similar problem and, like you, i went crazy after the scripting options of photoshop.
i opted for a solution in the middle, could not find a freeware but i found what is, i guess, the only bulk cropping software on the market, bargain price though.
It's called Photo Cropper

Relatively easy to use, fast, but i would recommend to give it a try before deciding, so that you are use it works for you. just my 2cents. good luck

But to a spammer, it's like winning the lottery to be able to pimp their product.

Two years ago, I used LR2 for this. Now I use LR4.
