I'll second that... Been using Irfanview as my default picture viewer for many years, and basic resize/crop stuff probably as long as I have had pictures on my PC...
I wonder how he makes money from it. Maybe it's just a hobby?

I only have an older version of Photoshop Elements, plus a RAW converter I downloaded from Sony for my A6000. Is there a way to do basic processing (primarily resizing of the large files) with what I have or do I need another PP program? Is there anything free since my main goal is just batch resizing?
thanks,

thanks,

If you are working with the RAW file... Elements may be able to do it (though you might need a newer version). Personally I use Lightroom and batch export hundreds of images at times, both making the RAW files into JPEGs and adjusting the size as I see fit at the same time (among other things such as adding watermarks, recording copyright info, etc.)
If you are working with JPEG files that have already been converted from RAW, I'd recommend FastStone Image Resizer... a freeware that handles a lot of batch work fast and efficiently ([url]http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDetail.htm/url]). Before Lightroom, I used FasStone a lot for similar purposes. It can't convert from a RAW to a JPEG, though (I used Adobe Camera Raw mostly, within Photoshop and not really a batch processor). So to use FastStone images need to already be converted to JPEG format.
Older versions of Lightroom couldn't do some of the things FastStone could... so for a while I continued to use the two together in my workflow. But more recent Lightroom versions can do it all in one batch process, which is a lot more efficient... so I just don't use FastStone much any more.
I'm not at all familiar with Sony's own software.... so really can't say what might be possible with it.

What version of PSE are you using?
I batch re - size frequently with PSE 11. It's easy. file>process multiple files, then select which features you want to use in the batch process.
Let me know if you need further assistance.

Thanks Mark. I don't even know which version - it came on my original Toshiba in '92 and again in '08. Gotta be ancient. But I'll look and see if it can do it your way.

Thanks pjau and rmalarz. Pjau, I'll check into those add-ons. I think I saw several when I downloaded resizer.

Older versions ... with it.[/quote]
I downloaded FasStone earlier today so I'll be seeing how it does for me. Thanks.
