I know that this works. I think I discribed your idea in my first post

My question was if there is an easier way - since I need to edit loads of images I would like to give the size once and try to avoid using the select and crop and resize dialogues every time.

Kind regards

Great! Thank you very much for your solution!

Maybe somebody could add a checkbox "remove meta data" within the save dialogue in a future release 8)

Kind regards,

Hi APShredder,

thank you for your really fast answer!

Unfortunatly this does not work as I wanted it to work: I get a fixed size canvas, but need a flexible canvas in the right ratio.

Imagine I get a digital photo with a resolution of 1000+ pixels, e. g. of you. Now I want to put your face on my website, but I can use only images having a size of 150x200px. If I use the "Fixed Size" rectangle tool I can either select your teeth or your eye lashes. But I want to select all your face (the selected part would be much larger than 150x200px) and get a 150x200px image after cropping.

Please apologize that I used you as an example. I hope I could clearify my requirements.

Hi,

I guess the (non existing) crop tool is a regualar issue. Please don't hit me for opening a new post

For managing a website I need to edit / resize many images to a given and fixed size (150x200px). I would really like to do this in Paint.NET, but it's not that easy: I select the part of a given image using the fixed ratio setting (150 / 200), crop the selected part and resize it to the size.

This job would be accomplished much easier if I could enter the required size to a "crop to fixed size" tool / plugin, select the part of the image and get a resized image when finished.

Does a function / tool / plugin like this exist? If not: What do you think about the idea?

Thanks for your answers and kind regards,

Philipp

Hi,

I hope I don't post a known issue:

When saving an image as a JPG file I tried to set the quality to 0. Of course the image was indistinguishable, but it was still a rather big file size. (11.6 KB, see attachment)

I compared the result with Photoshop 6. Saving the same image using the web optimization wizard (Alt+Shift+Ctrl+S) I got a better looking and smaller JPG (3.5 KB).

Have you got any idea what went wrong?

Kind regards,

Philipp
