Stumbled upon these while pondering over how to simplify technology further for teachers. Just posted a relevant post on my other blog (http://postingfacts.blogspot.com). The technology challenges faced by teachers prompted me to explore some good short and crisp image related utilities. Mentioning two such utilities below :
Shell Extension ( http://free.firmtools.com/shellextension/) is a very handy utility
( just about 520 KB in size) which adds capabilties to the right-click menu
( just about 520 KB in size) which adds capabilties to the right-click menu
Once you right-click on any image, it displays a thumbnail of the image along with the option"Convert to". Once you click on "Convert to", it shows you the various fomats available for conversion ( a good number of image formats) and allows you to save it. Quite a handy utility to add more power to my right-click. A must try !
PIXresizer -Image Resizer (http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm)
A useful utility for resizing images, individual and in groups. A very intuitive and si mple to use interface for using the tool. Through tab change, one may work on either an indiv idual image or a group of images. While working with multiple files, remember to mention the corr e ct folder(s) for loading or saving the files.
The above two utilities can help the starters to get more comfortable manipulating th e images as compared to working with a heavy/ comprehensive image related tool/ software.
