Resizing so the pic is taller than wide?
After vacationing I noticed all my pics are wider than tall. But I would like the pics with people in them to show the proper proportion instead of looking on the squat side of things. So is there a way to correct this? The standard resizing programs just don't seem to cut it. Any help would be appreciated.

The first guess would be that you have a wide screen monitor ..
and your display driver settings are for a 4:3 Monitor.
This will result in a display 20% wider than it should be.

This should display as a perfect Circle/Square...

Yes it does show as you describe, a perfect Circle/Square. I have a 19 inch CRT screen and a 19 inch LCD screen and both show my problem.

If you display my test image as a perfect circle/square then there's nothing wrong with you computer <> monitor set up.

I'll PM you my Email address ... Send me a couple of pictures that best illustrate the squat.
I may need a little help here ... Can I host these pics for others to see ?

I've requested that this conversation be move from this Sticky thread.

Photobie
I have been Trying Photobie. It is a lot like GIMP or Photo Shop. Its biggest problem seems to be a Lack of basic documentation. The are several tutorials to help with many of its more exotic features. Its nicest feature is that it is free.

The best FREE photo editor
My vote goes to a combination of Photobie (www.photobie.com) and a PhotoShop plug-in Virtual.Photographer from optikVerve (www.optikVerve.com.

Photobie as downloaded is a powerful editor but they have added an interface to use ".8bf" photoshop plug-ins / filters. Most of the filters work, a few do not and the Photobie developers would like to know about them to make future version of Photobie more robust.

Darn rbrager I just came here to post on Photobie and you got here first. I was wanting to try the program out but got 98SE so can't.

The other site seems to be down.

Blacksmith-Suite 3.0 Free

http://www.blacksmith3d.com/

Blacksmith3D - Suite is an all in one solution which includes all of our products in a single program (Paint, Morph and Modeler). You can paint on the object at any time during the morphing process. This allows you to paint texture maps that fit your morph target perfectly (prevent the stretching effect that some morph targets have on the texture).

Thumbs up Found a Great Basic One
Thanks for a great thread...I've tried several suggested here but ended up finding one on my own that had everything on my wish list: ease of use, gamma correction, clone tool, paint tool, easy size reduction, ability to bring in several photos at once, and a text tool.

It's Paint.net and it started as an undergraduate college project in collaboration with Microsoft. Here is the information and a screenshot http://www.getpaint.net/index.html

Great interface for those of us who want comprehensive but simple photo editing. I like it alot!
