Image Editing (Resizing) Program?

Guys please can you suggest an image editing program. My main purpose would be to resize/crop images to resolutions of mobile phones/mp3 players to be used as backgrounds. I am a noob to image editing so please suggest a program suitable for noobs.

I know photoshop works this way... but like you am kind of a noob at photoediting as well, I downloaded a trial version of photoelf once. it did resize/crop images, only downfall was it was trialware and therefore expired.

IrfanView .. Supports batch resizing .. So you just set target dimensions, and it will process all files.. Best freeware ..

For your basic image viewing/editing, Irfan view is great free alternative to ACDSee... For slightly more features in image editing, software like Paint.NET and Photofiltre are useful free alternatives to Photoshop.

^^ arey she liked ur location.. wich is too big to fit in this place, so u didnt mention it !!!

IMHO IrfanView is the best piece of software for ur needs and for that matter it's useful for most of image-related probs.

IrfanView and Batch image resizer works best for me..

google's Picassa is another free & my favorite.

I know this is a 4 month old thread, but I just want to ask which one is better between ACDSee Pro and IrfanView. People who have used both, please post your opinion.

ACDSee Pro and Irfan View they are not so comparable, one is free another is not.
Feature sets are quite different too.

imagemagick FTW! so easy and integrates into Gnome desktop!just right click on any image file for resizing etc 8)

Gimp or Irfanview.

photofileter, this one is small and easy to use for the starters.

gimp/photoshop is like using tank to kill a mosquito.

Nokia PC suit can crop/ resize images for wallpaper background.
Irfan view is good free alternative.
or Microsoft Office picture manager is easiest way (by start>>run>>ois>>enter)

The GIMP

IRFAN VIEW at present iam using this to download wallpapers to my mobile at resolution 170*220

Can anybody tell me how to resize gif images?
Can i do it with IrfanView?

^^yes you can ......... doing it now

Only if they are not animated gifs

you have to extract the framse and then resize them, combine them etc.

how do u extract/combine?

FastStone Photo Resizer

Fotosizer

For a noob,irfan view works well.
since u wanna do only image resizing,there is an option in iview wherein u can set an option to batch convert all files to a particular resolution.

1 more vote for Microsoft Image Resizer Powertoy. I use it a lot to resize my photos from Sony H1 before posting them.
