Paint vs. Irfanview vs. Picasa

| I'm looking for a free photo editing program to resize photos at work. I installed Irfanview and like it a lot for that purpose so far, and then I read that Paint also resizes photos just as well.
I'm wondering, since Paint comes installed on Windows, what are the advantages of using Irfanview for this purpose -- and also, how its photo editing capabilities compare with Picasa (which I use at home). I know it doesn't organize photos which is fine because I can use Picasa for that.
Am I comparing apples to oranges to bananas, or are there enough similarities between Irfanview and Picasa to keep only one?

Hi jenn,
I use Irfanview all the time for editing photos, and I do love it.
I rarely ever use paint even though it comes with Windows...
I am thinking of downloading Picassa as well because it does organize photos.
I just got another stick of RAM (now I have 1 gig) so I think maybe I will have both on my 'puter.....(plus 3 versions of PSP, Animation Shop and Photoshop Elements....LOL... I am going to get another stick of memory this summer too!)
I know I am not answering your question, but I did not want your post to go unnoticed! |

Hi There,
I too never use Paint.... But for a quick resize etc I use Irfanview all the time as well as Picasa..... I save my Psp 8, 9 & 10 for the "big" jobs.... I think you'll find that most of us are "graphic junkies" & have many different programs on our computers.... You'll never have too many of them...... : )) FlutteringBy |

| I do ALL my resizing in PSP7. I end up with like 500 to 800 pixels to my liking. Urlee |
