error
I downloaded the infraview software, however, when the box popped up asking which things I wanted to associate with the program I didn't check any. When I opened the program there was just a black blank window. Did I do something wrong? I'd like to try to resize my pics as you said the program should be able to do..Thanks for the help! Ron

It always starts out with a blank screen until you open a pic in it.
Once you have a picture displayed in it, click "image", then select "resize/resample". Plug in your desired size, and that's it. Save the newly revised image, and as a hint, when you first save a .jpg , click the "options" button on the save as screen....set the quality slider to about 90-95%. You won't lose any visible pic quality, but it will knock the file size down considerably. If you save at 100%, the file size will be enormous.

If you want to print the pic .... then you need to leave the quality at 100%.

Great tool for resizing, but I can't get Photo Host/Mystic to upload the resized image. Properties still show as 480 x 272 mp even when IrfanView resizes them down to 450 x 238. Any suggestions? TIA

I'll retry clearing the temp internet files and completely unrelated file name. Thanks,
