IrfanView ??

I d/l IrfanView to play with gif's and resize for avitars. My problem is with resizing, the help file says to click image and then resize/resample,but, everything except "create new image", "Effects",: Swap Colors", and "Palette" are greyed out ! Is there a setting I am missing to enable resize / resample ? I am sure it's obvious, just not to me ...Rhett

 

hey rhett... you click image & go down to.... resize.. wait let me go look...lol

yea thats right... make sure you make another copy w/ a slight different name til you learn to use this

 

That is my problem Savvy, almost everything in the Image tab is greyed out and unuseable, including the resize option ! perhaps the image I am using is protected some how, still playing with it though , will see what happens...thanks...Rhett

sound to me like you don't have a image open yet

click file then open then choose a picture and open it.. that should activate the resize option as well as the others under the image tab

I have the image in the window, and the animation is working, but when I click image, no go, perhaps I installed the program wrong, I will see if I can get a screenshot and post it here...Rhett

 

any Ideas ?

 

Rhett I got the same thing on the one jpg I opened... let me see if they all are that way.


Nope... I just opened my photo & its fine with it. Must be the style that ones in.
If it was animated you can't change it.

try opening the image in paint & change its extension

 

I must have misunderstood, I thought you could resize gif's (animated) to get a avitar small enough to post, There must be a way as there are several floating around at the site, once again, Thanks...Rhett

I haven't been able to confirm it in writing... but it doesn't appear that you can resize Annimations in Irfranview

Edit... post it full size and I'll size it for you

 

It's not that I want it done...It's that I want to do it Thanks for the offer ...Rhett

 

wonder if I can...

I loaded it to paint & resaved it . then sent it to irfanview & was able to make the background translucent

 

Just so you guys can play here is the animated gif, was going to use it as a Avitar, but almost to late now !
