skylark53 Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Is there any MS program that opens an image file so that it's properly scaled?My problem is that whatever I try (windows picture & fax viewer, mozilla, seamonkey, I.E.) opens the picture so that it's huge, with all the pixels visible and only part of it visible at a time; you have to pan around (an ear here, a nostril there...).What I want is for jpgs, & gifs to open so that their screen size suits the resolution. E.g. for a standard quality image this would be about 8" x 6". For a lower resolution, portrait-shape picture it might be 2" x 4".Ideally it'd be some free software, maybe even something that's already on the system. But I don't see anything in "properties\opens with"...Thanks!
cluberti Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Have you tried something like Paint.net? I believe it does this by default.
Ponch Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Have you checked "Enable Automatic resizing" in IE's Advanced (MultiMedia) options ?
skylark53 Posted January 8, 2008 Author Posted January 8, 2008 Thanks, cluberti and ponch. I've made a bookmark to paint.net. Meanwhile, there is indeed a box in Seamonkey (was 'vanilla Mozilla'; still simply the smallest/fastest/best browser available), under 'appearance', that lets you "resize large images to fit the browser window". Not exactly what I'm after -will try paint- but works a treat!Ta muchly! Alison
