Free Image Resizer for Pix?

just wondering if the apple has any power toys such as windows. i use to always use the image resizer power toys for windows. does the macbook pro have it as well? or is there any applications that is already installed on here that i can use it. i swear i looked through all of the apps,and could not found anything that could help me.

I don't know what you mean by 'power toys'. But if it is image resizer that you want, try ToyViewer at http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~ogihara/software/index.html
It's light, and fairly easy to use. Lots of basic functions as well.

Image resizing for printing

Hi,
I have a simple applet that prints a gif image provided by a 3rd party. I'm using javax to do the printing. My problem is that the image is printing huge, since it's high res, and I'd like to slim it down. Is there a way to do this within the print classes, or do I have to manipulate the image before passing it to the applet? Pseudo-code is below.
Thank you for any help.
Jeff
URL url = new URL(codebase + "filename.gif");
PrintService ps = (previously defined print service)
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(OrientationRequested.REVERSE_LANDSCAPE);
DocPrintJob job = ps.createPrintJob();
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(url, DocFlavor.URL.GIF, null);
job.print(doc, aset);

You should resize the image and pass this to yous Doc objecty.Check this
Image inImage = getImage(new URL(codebase + "filename.gif"));
          int maxDim = 120;
          double scale = (double) maxDim / (double) inImage.getHeight(null);
          if (inImage.getWidth(null) > inImage.getHeight(null))
               scale = (double) maxDim / (double) inImage.getWidth(null);
          // Determine size of new image.
          //One of them
          // should equal maxDim.
          int scaledW = (int) (scale * inImage.getWidth(null));
          int scaledH = (int) (scale * inImage.getHeight(null));
          System.out.println(">> "
               + inImage.getSource().getClass()
               + " aspect ratio = "
               + scaledW + " , " + scaledH);
          Image img = inImage.getScaledInstance(scaledW , scaledH, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);The rest is yours.

IOS 4.2 no image resize for mailing out of photos...?

While the iPhone offers several options for image size when I send photos out of photos the iPad does not.. Is that normal even for 4.2 or am I missing a setting somewhere? This is hugely annoying bc I only have camera and iPad with me traveling and not always a good Internet connection to upload 10mb pics...
Any suggestions how to get the pics emailed out downsized?
Cheers
Greg

As iOS 4.2 has not yet been generally released, you might do better asking this question of your fellow developers in the Developers' Forum.
Best of luck.

Is it possible to optimize this Bilinear Image Resizing Method more?

I'm trying to write a speedy bilinear image resizer, for displaying images so it doesn't need to me 100% accurate, just look correct.
So far i've come up with
 public static final Image resampleImage(Image orgImage, int newWidth, int newHeight) {
 int orgWidth = orgImage.getWidth();
 int orgHeight = orgImage.getHeight();
 int orgLength = orgWidth * orgHeight;
 int orgMax = orgLength - 1;
 int[] rawInput = new int[orgLength];
 orgImage.getRGB(rawInput, 0, orgWidth, 0, 0, orgWidth, orgHeight);
 int newLength = newWidth * newHeight;
 int[] rawOutput = new int[newLength];
 int yd = (orgHeight / newHeight - 1) * orgWidth;
 int yr = orgHeight % newHeight;
 int xd = orgWidth / newWidth;
 int xr = orgWidth % newWidth;
 int outOffset = 0;
 int inOffset = 0;
 // Whole pile of non array variables for the loop.
 int pixelA, pixelB, pixelC, pixelD;
 int xo, yo;
 int weightA, weightB, weightC, weightD;
 int redA, redB, redC, redD;
 int greenA, greenB, greenC, greenD;
 int blueA, blueB, blueC, blueD;
 int red, green, blue;
 for (int y = newHeight, ye = 0; y > 0; y--) {
 for (int x = newWidth, xe = 0; x > 0; x--) {
 // Set source pixels.
 pixelA = inOffset;
 pixelB = pixelA + 1;
 pixelC = pixelA + orgWidth;
 pixelD = pixelC + 1;
 // Get pixel values from array for speed, avoiding overflow.
 pixelA = rawInput[pixelA];
 pixelB = pixelB > orgMax ? pixelA : rawInput[pixelB];
 pixelC = pixelC > orgMax ? pixelA : rawInput[pixelC];
 pixelD = pixelD > orgMax ? pixelB : rawInput[pixelD];
 // Calculate pixel weights from error values xe & ye.
 xo = (xe << 8) / newWidth;
 yo = (ye << 8) / newHeight;
 weightD = xo * yo;
 weightC = (yo << 8) - weightD;
 weightB = (xo << 8) - weightD;
 weightA = 0x10000 - weightB - weightC - weightD;
 // Isolate colour channels.
 redA = pixelA >> 16;
 redB = pixelB >> 16;
 redC = pixelC >> 16;
 redD = pixelD >> 16;
 greenA = pixelA & 0x00FF00;
 greenB = pixelB & 0x00FF00;
 greenC = pixelC & 0x00FF00;
 greenD = pixelD & 0x00FF00;
 blueA = pixelA & 0x0000FF;
 blueB = pixelB & 0x0000FF;
 blueC = pixelC & 0x0000FF;
 blueD = pixelD & 0x0000FF;
 // Calculate new pixels colour and mask.
 red = 0x00FF0000 & (redA * weightA + redB * weightB + redC * weightC + redD * weightD);
 green = 0xFF000000 & (greenA * weightA + greenB * weightB + greenC * weightC + greenD * weightD);
 blue = 0x00FF0000 & (blueA * weightA + blueB * weightB + blueC * weightC + blueD * weightD);
 // Store pixel in output buffer and increment offset.
 rawOutput[outOffset++] = red + (((green | blue) >> 16));
 // Increment input by x delta.
 inOffset += xd;
 // Correct if we have a roll over error.
 xe += xr;
 if (xe >= newWidth) {
 xe -= newWidth;
 inOffset++;
 // Increment input by y delta.
 inOffset += yd;
 // Correct if we have a roll over error.
 ye += yr;
 if (ye >= newHeight) {
 ye -= newHeight;
 inOffset += orgWidth;
 return Image.createRGBImage(rawOutput, newWidth, newHeight, false);
 }I was wondering if anyone can see any problems with this, or suggest any faster ways of doing this.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
Sadly, both the methods in the link are for simple nearest neighbour resizing, which looks god awefull. In addition the first one on the page is insanely slow only only needed with much versions of J2ME that do not support directly accessing pixel data from Image (via getRGB()).
I started with something like the second example, and have them tweaked it down while adding in the weighted re sampling of the 4 nearest pixels, to remove jaggies. I've managed to get my "bilinear" version to be only around 4 times slower than nearest neighbour, which given that it reads 4 times the data for each pixel is not bad... just wondering if I can go any faster :D
My current intention is it use a fast nearest neighbour while the image is being moved around / zoomed, and then when there is a pause in user input update the image with the bilinear image.
Also, I'm trying to use variables (xA, xB, xC, xD) in place of arrays(x[0], x[1]. x[2]. x[3]) as I've read somewhere it is faster as there is no need for bounds checks when accessing a variable unlike an array,
Finally, does anyone have any good ideas on using bit shifting to approximate all the multiplication (ie x << 8 instead of x * 256) of the pixels by weights, the resulting answer may be "wrong" but if it is close enough it might work.

Discussion about image resizing

Hi,
I'd like to get some point of views regarding image resizing ....
Handling images is always a lot of work, having to resize, give names, then alt tags then titles etc ..... Depending on the design, on one page one image has to be 200px wide , on another 150 and in the gallery 600px ..... Hw do you handl this, do you really resize all images so they fit where they need to be , and do thumbs everytime or do you use automatic resizing .... Server side, css ?
In an ideal world I would like to have just one folder with one version of all images and be able to use those ones without having to resize them manually .... What do you reckon ?
Obviously, I'm not talking about high resolution images or full screen images but images that would rnge between 400 to 600px wide for instance. Do we still have to think about server load and download speed today in 2012 ? Do you think or know it really affects ranking on search engines .... well ... debate is open , I'm really interested in getting all point of views as they surely be very different from one user to another !!

In the old days, when connection speeds were modem-sized, it was important to be conservative with regard to page weight. In this era of high-speed internet, it's not so much. My pages that use lots of full-size and thumbnail images will often just use the larger image resized for the thumbnail. Resizing down is fast and cosmetically acceptable.
Also, I'm certain that image size has no impact on search engine ranking.

Any free Universal software for image resizing?

Hi all,
Most of the time i downloaded huge image files from the net and have no tools to covert it to smaller size (e.g. 176x220)so that I can send it to my mobile phone as wallpaper.
I tried using the Iphoto but it does not resize, it's more like cropping.
Any ideas?

I use a really neat little program called ImageWell. It works great.
http://www.xtralean.com/IWOverview.html
I remember having to search, like you, to find a good image resizing app. Then I found ImageWell. The current version of ImageWell is a Universal Binary.

Image resize in CS5 vs cell size in LR3 for large print quality

What is the benefit of image resizing(larger) with resampling in photoshop than creating a larger cell size and increasing the DPI in LR3 if the file is to be printed just out of LR3. Is there a significant improvement in image quality if this is done in CS5, if so then what about the need for fractal program. I am taking my images with a D3x and making prints up to 20x30 on Epson 7900?

Interoperation from LR is far superior to the basic in PS CS 4, whilst this may have improved in CS 5 I haven't tried it and wouldn't expect it to be any better than LR 3. The print module in LR can also make it all a lot easier to do than using PS. Some may still prefer Genuine Fractals (I have a copy), however I have felt no need for it since LR 2. Any resizing I require is done using LR

Image resizer - power toy's style program for osx ?

I hope this is the correct forum. I am new to the mac way of life and I have just began to explore my new (and first) mac (17" G4 powerbook).
I have Adobe elements that came with my Canon 300D, so I do have an image resizer, however I was hoping someone had information to a resize program that worked similar to the Microsoft power toys. Simply right click the image and choose the size you wish it to be.
If this exists, please point me in the right direction
Thanks a million!

Problem with image resize after canvas resize in CS6

In previous versions I have been able to resize the canvas and then resize the image. For example resize the canvas to 250px x 250 px. Then resize the image to the same.
Here is the process I am using:
Duplicate the layer and then hide it.
Resize the canvas (Image > Canvas Size) to 250px x 250 px.
Un-hide the layer and then resize the image (Image > Image Size). When I go into Image>Image Size it says that the image is already 250px x 250px. However if I try to transform the scale the image is the original size and not 250px x 250px
The reason for needing this is I resize image size (in bulk) and the canvas size using the batch process (file>automate>batch) and actions. I loaded the actions file I used in previous versions, but that did not work correctly. I then went in to do this manually and got the same results.
Any ideas??

Please post the Action set *.atn file and name of the action in the set.
What you wrote seems like normal operation.
Duplicate the layer and then hide it.
Resize the canvas (Image > Canvas Size) to 250px x 250 px.
Un-hide the layer and then resize the image (Image > Image Size). When I go into Image>Image Size it says that the image is already 250px x 250px. However if I try to transform the scale the image is the original size and not 250px x 250px
There is no reason to hide and unhide the layer.
When you change Canvas Size the only layer the may actually get changed is the "Background Layer" for the bankground layer does not suppoty tranparency so Pixels of some color will be added to the background layer if your increasing canvas size or Pixels will be cropped off the background layer if you decreasing canvas size. Canvas Size = Document Size = Image size. Canvas size change does not change the size of other layer. Only their position over the canvas may change. Layers other then the background layer can be any size. They can be the same size as the canvas size or they may be larger or smaler then the canvas size and they can have any aspect ratio and any shape. As you saw when you ise free transform on your layer.

Free image editing tool

I'm looking for a free image editing software that can resize, change image resolution, and save in a wide variety of formats (jpeg, gif, tiff, png, etc)
I've downloaded Image Tool and though it's a great program, it still doesn't give me the control I want for my pictures. Was wondering if anyone else knows of anything.

Ways to implement image resizing using plug-ins?

Hi Photoshop developers,
I'm a developer with a few Photoshop filter and selection plug-ins under my belt, and I have a good understanding of the SDK and tools and suites it provides. My next project is an algorithm for enlarging/resampling images to different pixel dimensions. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for or experience with the best combination of plug-in types to implement this.
Clearly, I can't just write it as a filter plug-in, since there is no way to change the image dimensions from within a filter.
I'd like the resized image to remain within Photoshop (as a new window or in the original one), so an export plug-in on its own is not sufficient.
Import plug-ins seem promising, since they allow the creation of a new document of the required size. However, as best I can tell from the Photoshop 6.0 SDK documentation, import plug-ins cannot access the image data from other open documents (or even the clipboard), nor do they provide any support for channel ports and the Channel Port suite.
My best idea at this stage is to create an export plug-in to provide the user interface and calculate the resized image, and then an import plug-in to import the resized image back into a new window. (I'm supposing a further automation plug-in would then be written to perform this export/import sequence.) The difficulty I see with this approach is how to communicate the resized image data between the two plug-ins. Since the resized image will potentially be very large, the ideal solution would be to store it in channels managed by the Channel Ports suite. However, I cannot see how the channel ports created in the export plug-in could be communicated to and used by an import plug-in. The alternative would be for the export plug-in to save the resized image to a temporary file on disk, however this seems unnecessary.
So, my questions, specifically, are:
a) Is it possible to create new channels using the Channel Ports suite (sPSChannelPorts->New()) in one plug-in, and have those channels persist to be used in another plug-in?
b) If so, how would the channel ports be communicated between the plug-ins?
c) Alternately, are there any alternative architectures available for implementing an image-resizing algorithm using the plug-in types that are available for Photoshop developers.
Any responses would be greatly appreciated; I know this is a low-traffic forum...
Thanks,
Matthew.

I would make an automation plug-in and a filter plug-in. 1) Run the automation which runs your filter to gather current image information 2) Create a temp file of the new document 3) Make a new document 4) Call the filter again to reload the temp data on disk <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected]... > Hi Photoshop developers, > > I'm a developer with a few Photoshop filter and selection plug-ins under > my belt, and I have a good understanding of the SDK and tools and suites > it provides.

Images as Buttons and Image Resizing in mxml

Sorry for all the questions but I've run into a problem when trying to create buttons that are just an image in mxml. When I first tried this I couldn't find a way to get the border around the button to dissapear so it ended up looking like my image had an extra black border around it. Then someone here suggested I just set the buttonMode property of an mx:Image to true which ended up working fine to a point. The problem I'm having is that even if I make the tabEnabled property of the image (that I'm using as a button) true, I can't tab over to it. Is there a way to either get rid of the black borders of a button or to make it so I can tab over to an image I'm using as a button?
My second question has to do with image resizing. Lets say I have an image of a horizontal line that I want to put at the top of the mxml page, and I want it to extend the full length of the page, even after the user has resized the browser. Is there a way to do that? I've tried putting the width as 100% or giving the image a "left" and "right" value so that presumably it would be stretched to fit within those but nothing has worked so far. Is there no way to do this or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you for any help you guys can give.

Of course, sorry about that. So the following is a barebones example of how I currently implement buttons and images as buttons:
<mx:Button id="facebookButton" icon="@Embed(source='image.png')" width="30"/>
<mx:Image buttonMode="true" id="button" source="anotherimage.png" enabled="true" click="{foo()}"/>
And within the image I've tried making the tabFocusEnabled property true but to no avail.
The following is how I've tried stretching out an image across the whole page:
<mx:Image source="yetanotherimage.png" width="100%" scaleContent="true"/>
<mx:Image source="yetanotherimage.png" left="10" right="10" scaleContent="true"/>
Is this more helpful?

I would like to be able to size images by kilobytes instead of pixels--is this possible? I use I-Contact which requires a maximum of 70kb per image. For best quality I want to make the images as close to 70 as possible. Currently I choose a size of 300

I would like to be able to size images by kilobytes instead of pixels--is this possible? I use I-Contact which requires a maximum of 70kb per image. For best quality I want to make the images as close to 70 as possible. Currently I choose a size of 300 pixels on the shortest side but sometimes this gives me an image of slightly greater than 70kb and sometimes the image is just 30-40kb. Is there a way to be more precise in reaching but not exceeding 70 kb?

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
You can opnly resize using the available options and file size is not one of them

Problems with Image Capture for Epson Scanner

When using image capture for my Epson scanner, at the Image Correction, when I select Manual I get no menu options.

There is no Epson scanner utility for Mountain Lion, it appears. Even Epson's FAQ defers to Image Capture and says it only provides software for image modification.
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&info Type=FAQ&oid=207953&foid=214278&cat=214269&subcat=214264
Unfortunately Image Capture completely fails to provide the service it should be expected to. The 3rd party software VueScan seems like it would be adequate once I learned how to manipulate it a little more, but ultimately the only decision I can justify is to hook up the scanner to my Windows PC and use the TWAIN-based scan utility there.
If there's anywhere I can make an official plea to Apple to get Image Capture in a workable state, feel free to point the way.

Photo image size for letterpress card

I'm trying to create a simple card in iPhoto 11 and am having some difficulties.
The various card themes have several layout options. Each option requires a certain size image (or sizes - some layouts are for more than one image).
How am I supposed to know what size of image will fit in each "layout box"?
Am I supposed to just play with the size of the image by resizing a JPG until it fits? Too time consuming - I've tried and I just can't get it to fit. Obviously I missing something simple if this is to be an "easy way to quickly make a card". I cannot find the required image size for the various layouts anywhere, so I'm clearly missing something.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1035 tells me recommended resolutions, but they are too big to fit into a card.
NOTE: I'm not talking about cropping an image or resizing it, which I can do.
I just need to know the size these card layouts require! Where is this information located, or what am I doing wrong?
Am I confusing DPI and pixels and resolution and ....?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Best,
Kurt

I'm not clear on whatyou are not clear on
You simply drag photos to the enpty photo frames in the template - there are move and pan controls if you want to change the position of the photo - you can reight click on a photo and select "fit to frame" in most themse if the photo ratios do not match teh frame ratios and yo are losing parts of the photo
the only "resolution" concern you have is that the photos are at least 180 DPI and if they are not you will get a warning
"Note: A yellow warning triangle with an exclamation point in the center may appear if the resolution is too low (below 180 DPI)."
The article you referenced gives Minimum pixel sizes for various uses - if your photo are that size or larger you are fine
The pixel size is shown in teh info window for a photo
