Windows XP instructions (tougher on Vista!)<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Download and install ImageMagick (Google it to find it on web).<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0After installation, automatically connect this new program to the right-click menu for your typical image files by: Open Windows Explorer and choose Tools->Folder Options<\/p>\n

h\"\"<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Choose File Types tab, then for each file type\/extension either add (if it doesn’t exist) or modify (Advanced button) \u00a0(I did two .JPG and .JPEG)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0Click ‘New…’ for actions, add new action for example “size1024x768med” – a good size for email.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0For Application used to perform action:, enter the full path of where ImageMagick was installed plus options such as the following:<\/p>\n

“C:\\Program Files\\ImageMagick-6.2.1-Q16\\mogrify.exe” -resize 1024×768 -quality 75 “%1”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

6. \u00a0For resizing portrait pictures, add another action such as “size768x1024med”:<\/p>\n

“C:\\Program Files\\ImageMagick-6.2.1-Q16\\mogrify.exe” -resize 768×1024 -quality 75 “%1”<\/p>\n

7. \u00a0Add more actions\/sizes\/options as you need smaller or bigger pictures, different qualities etc.<\/p>\n

8. \u00a0To use this feature, MAKE A COPY of the photo you wish to resize.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. \u00a0Repeat, NEVER USE THIS command on the original and only copy, this will modify the file.<\/p>\n

10. \u00a0On the extra copy of the image, right click and choose the action you created, size you want. \u00a0In this example a number of photos are copied into a new directory called ‘med’ for medium resized photos, and right-click on one or more photos and select the size:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

11. \u00a0Voila the photo is instantly and quickly resized, now you can include it in your email\/attachment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
