To crop/resize an image

Windows Photo Gallery has a number of different tools which enables you to make pictures look different, and in some cases look better than the original. These features are free with Windows Vista and are there so users can edit their photographs.

To crop/resize a picture:

  1. Find the image you want to edit, right click and select Open With, then click on Windows Photo Gallery.
  2. By selecting the Fix button, select the Crop picture button.

From here you have these options:

  • Custom - crop the picture to any proportion of your liking (drag the selector tool to make the new size of the image)
  • Original - keeps the proportions exactly the same by reverting it to the original image.
  • Rotate frame - enabling you to crop the picture horizontally or vertically.

    The Crop Picture dialog implies that Custom will let me set specific height and width. However, it appears that it only lets me drag corners or centers to set the crop. This is a bit feeble, as it makes it nearly impossible to set an appropriate dimension for a laptop screen with, say, 1280×800 resolution.
