Anything better for resizing than IrfanView?
 

I'm looking for a tool that lowers the quality of pictures out of sets to optimize the loading time.
1) Which program do you use for autocropping (anything better than Irfanview?
2) Is there a tool to lower the quality of a picture but keep the same size?

thx in advance :)

c'mon ppl!

We use Arles :thumbsup

I've used Smaller Animals Thumbnailer for years and I'm very happy with it :)

xat image optimizer. xat.com

irfan view can do that perfectly fine for you, play with the optimization settings

I am using photoshop for resize works and for the quality too .

If I just want to do custom thumbs, I use Photoshop to crop it and Ulead Smart Saver to compress it.

well I need to resize sets of pics so about 15-30 at one time.
iwantchixx can you give me a hand in irfan view settings?

Yep their batch optimizer seems to be able to compress the most without quality loss than anything else I've tried.

ok cool, I'll give image optimizer a try...
what's actually different in jpeg optimizer?
