Hello All!

I was wondering if any Mac user out there knows of any freeware (or other easy way) of turning a full size pic (say 800 x 1200) into one of the gallery required 200 x 200 thumbnails?
The only image software I use is Poser 7 so it's a pain to render a separate small pic.
I googled and found one free program that worked (All Thumbs) but wasn't so good to use so I thought someone here might have had success with something else.

Thanks for any advice
David

I think they usually recommend gimp (free, but may be difficult for OS X users to install).

Hmmm - that doesn't sound too good...

 You can use Preview  - comes free with OSX - it does basic scaling, resampling  etc. There are also some scripts out which do basic corrections and adjustments, like gamma correction etc.

iPhoto has similar possibilities.

 I am a Mac user.

When I make thumbs I do them 2 basic ways.

If I want to crop the picture to show a small portion of the image then I use a program called "GraphicConverter" because it has such a simple method for cutting a piece from a image. Then I make it the size I want using a program called "AutoResizer" to make the thumb whatever size is nescessary.

If I want to resize the complete image to a thumb I can use just "AutoResizer"

"AutoResizer" has the bonus of being able to resize a image to any size and quality and is not a thumbs only tool.

Both softwares (I think) are either shareware or freeware and can be had for little or no cost.

Awesome - thanks for the info - I'll do some hunting for those on google and see how it goes...
