The Awesome Resizer v3.3

Copyright ©1999-2000

Author: Jonathan Villemure\ E-mail: jvillemure@bigfoot.com\ Web page: http://www.bigfoot.com/~jvillemure \ Description: TAResizer is a freeware application that allows quick dynamic resizing of any translator supported image and much much more.\ Platform: Compiled under BeOS R5 (Intel Only)\ Version: 3.3

How it works (The "Manual")

• Drag'n Drop an image file on the window to show it, or click the dropzone for a file open dialog.

• Resizing the window (with the borders) resize the image.

• You can also enter the width and height directly.

• Uncheck "Aspect Ratio" and the image will fit the entire window.

• "Reset" resize the image to its original size, removing all effects along the way.

• "Undo" undo the last action done on the image.

• "Smooth scaling", to improve the visual quality of shrinked images. (I tried to implement it to be done on-the-fly while resizing but I lost the "smooth resizing" feel, so I decided to put it separetly. It only works with shrinked images)

• "Filename" contains the name of the file that will be created.

• "Format" Allow you to choose your preferred output format (you MUST select one).

• Click on the modified image and drag it out (in a folder or on the desktop) to create a new image in the choosen output format.

• You can also do a right-click drag to specify a particular region of the image to save !

• "Action" : (Use "Apply" to execute the choosen action)

  • 90 rotation : Rotate the image 90 deg counter clock-wise.
  • Flip Top-Bottom : Flip the image around the horizontal axis.
  • Flip Left-Right : Flip the image around the vertical axis.
  • Light : Lighten the image.
  • Darkness : Darken the image.
  • Blur : Usefull function to apply after having resized your image.
  • Melt : Home-made effect.
  • Drunk : Funny effect. Use it on a screenshot with text in it and you will know where the name came from :-)
  • Black & White : Convert color image to Black and White image. (Cool !)
  • Invert : Invert the colors of the image (Not very useful but everybody has it, so...)
  • Swap X-Y : Swap the "X" and "Y" channels.
  • Screenshot : Take a screenshot of your current Desktop.
