    That beats the hell out of using Paint's "Stretch/Skew" function to resize pics.

    You're welcome. Yeah, there are a few programs out there where you can batch edit/resize, but this one requires nothing to be opened or loaded. Very quick and simple.

    Your rough estimate for file size reduction was off quite a bit. You said the original photo was 20x larger than the one resized to "large", but it was actually only ~14x.

    Don't you just love having your nits picked????

    I was wondering who was going to be the first knitpicker to spend the energy to make the correction.



    Just remember, he's the computer tech guy, not the math teacher.

    I'm also a computer tech kinda guy, and I made my initial estimate by multiplying 18 (180KB) by 20 (20x) and came up with 360 (3.6MB), but since the size of the original file was 2.6MB, I knew the 20x estimate was off by 1.0MB.

    Beech deserves every bit of nit picking we can give him!

    Hey, it was on the fly, the camera was rolling. I forgot to carry the 1.

    That's what you get for helping people out, heh. Last winter this Mexican guy asked me to help jump start his car and I, being raised with Christian values, agreed. Next thing I know I open my hood and the windshield fluid tubes are so frozen that they break off. The guy got his car started but I was left with replacing damn tubing. Help your fellow man my ass!

    Kudos to you for helping the guy. That's why I also carry ass-kicking jumper cables in my car.

    But....I was raised in the oh so cold north country known as Chicago, and I never had my tubes freeze. Why? They sold windshield wiper fluid that was good to -20F via the addition of some high percentage of alcohol.

    Don't they have the same stuff there in Utah? Or are you also restricted to 3.2 windshield wiper fluid?

    I tried some of that crap and almost ran my car off the road. It was really greasy and just smeared all over the windshield. I got home and drained it and replaced it with the regular stuff.

    My guess is they were just old and brittle and the cold compounded the already fragile tube.
    The man thong is wrong.

    Yep, they were old and brittle and it was very, very cold outside. Nevertheless, the moral of the story is that you don't help people.

    Sounds like the stuff you used may have had the wrong kind of alcohol, like the variety that is used for the radiator. The antifreeze windshield wiper fluid is standard operating procedure in the cold country, and it works great.

    And you really need a good antifreeze fluid with all of the salt that ends up on your windshield from the icy/snowy roads.

    And people wonder why I know live in SoCal.
