The Need For A Photo Resizer

I have been in the computing industry since I was 14 years old, that means almost 20 years now; but I guess one of my flaws is that I tend to stick with processes that have usually worked for me making me ignore new technologies which are better. Call me melodramatic or sentimental, but that's how I am. One example of this is in resizing images.

Only until this year, what I was doing is use Photoshop and Paint to do the job. Even in cases where I needed to resize multiple photos, I went through them one by one and save them in Photoshop with smaller dimensions and compressed formats. In times when I found it impossible to resize a large number of photos, what I did was to choose the best ones for me and just settle for them disregarding the other photos which my friends / relatives may also appreciate seeing.

When a certain photo resizing application was introduced to me, I learned that life could be better when you open yourself to change. I tried it and it worked like magic, at least that's what I thought since my tried and tested brand, Photoshop did not have such feature. I have been sucked into believing that when it comes to photo editing, there's only Photoshop, this turned out to be my undoing. Photoshop maybe the best when it comes to all the other aspects of image editing, but when it comes to resizing images, specially multiple photos, a photo resizer is much better to use. It's much easier and faster.

I still use Photoshop with it's cool features for image editing, however, when I only need to resize or crop photos, I use a photo resizer. With just a few simple clicks and in only a few seconds, resizing multiple photos is finished. It's just a bummer that this sort of technology has slipped my attention for quite a number of years. Anyways, all's well that ends well.

Right now, I also use my photo resizer in other applications such as taking screenshots, putting perfect-sized pictures on my website and thumbnail creation. As what I expected, the simplicity is just amazing! The lesson I learned here… Don't be afraid to try new things, it may just be better than what you are used to.
