JcResizer is a software that allows resizing batch of digital photos. I have always used the excellent, and free, IrfanView, but this only works with Windows, and having now finally adopted Linux felt the absence of a similar product (of course there are already programs that do the same thing for Linux, but as versatile as IrfanView I have not found), so I put to do so in Java, so it can be used with any operating system present and future.
Why resize photos? There are many reasons to do so, mainly for when you want to send by e-mail to a friend.
Perhaps no one realizes, but only send ten photos means at least ten mega bytes of data, and if the recipient of the e-mail did not ADSL is intended to wait a long time to see these ten photos also many boxes Mail nemmono not accept an e-mail that size.
To solve these problems simply resize the photos at a resolution of 800x600 pixels (600x800 if vertical) and set the parameter of "quality" to no more than 75 to get a good compromise between quality and file size (about 10 times less than original).
For example, a photo taken with a now obsolete camera from 4 Mega Pixel (2288x1712 pixels) to the highest quality generates a file of approximately 1300KB (1.3 MB), converted to 800x600 with 75 as the file becomes about 113KB. Setting 65 as a file becomes approximately 97KB and the quality is still good to see the photos on the screen, of course, if you have to send them to print the speech changes, but if the aim is to see the photos on the screen is absolutely recommended resize!
Another reason perhaps even more current compared to previous year (considering the high spread of ADSL lines) is to burn photos to a CD and then see them through a consumer DVD player from the table. Well, resizing them as well as having many more photos on a CD only improve significantly the time reading Photo obtaining a presentation more dynamic and fluid.
Want to see the photos on your mobile phone or PDA, resize, you will see more speed!
