As you know I am building up my computer with new stuff, any foto management free software you would recomend to make fotos smaler or cut them to the right size for loadups on projects? What are you working with exept the SW that came with your camera?

I take my picture as normal, not being to careful about the composition, and then use the Snipping Tool (part of Windows 7 and Vista) to crop it. By the time I have done this, it is also small enough to upload. This takes seconds. If any more tweaking is need I use Nero but that is rarely needed.

I use Adobe Photoshop Elements, it isn't free but isn't expensive and works well for me.

I use Irfanview which is a free download to resize photos, create one photo composed of two or more or change files from .bmp to .jpg etc.

I forgot about this one, I have it too, guess I need to put a shortcut on my desktop. It's easy, too.

I found PhotoScape when I had to get something new for Windows 7. You can get it from CNET.com - they virus check everything. Seems to work pretty well for me.

I use this link, that I found on a google search.

As a precaution, as you rebuild your favorites list, export the list when you backup your files. Click on the file tab at the top of the page, choose Import and Export, and follow the directions. It will put a copy of the favorites folder wherever you save your files. You can even put it on a flash drive, and take it with you!

I think Paint still comes with computers, and you can resize in Paint pretty easily. I also use my camera software to resize, or a program called FotoFinish, but that wasn't free.

If you have a digital camera you should have a CD that comes with it to do some things like that with. My camera came with roxio photosuite.
