<description><![CDATA[Hi,

I found another watermarking application that does batch watermarking (upto 20 images) and it has lot of options to customize the watermark.

http://watermark-images.com

They also have a google gadget that you can embed into your webpages/blogs.

<description><![CDATA[#47 Mike, Thank you, this is as I suspected but did want some additional feedback which you have done a great job in explaining.  

After trying the software,

Pro's 

1.  You can resize in mass your pictures
2.  You can add a watermark
3.  The product leaves a small footprint and uses little resources.

Con's
1.  You can resize but not revert with out quality loss as #47 also confirmed.
2.  Unless you are willing to give up your originals then you will not save space, but in fact will be adding as you need to make another folder to hold your newly resized images.
3.  The watermark feature is extremly limited and of poor quality actually one of the poorest quality watermarks I have seen in any software.
4.  The ability to preview is extremely limited so your on a wing and a prayer.
5. There are plenty of free products already providing these features and more.
6.  If you need a professional looking watermark you'll need to
    a.) Make your own
    b.) Use the built in tool, I recommend against this as the quality and ability to view it are so limited.
    c).  Have to purchase yet another product with adds to the overall size of your applcations which I had hoped would be an all in one tool.
7.  Not enough useful tools to make it competitive to even the free software.  No auto adust, no left or right clockwise adjustment, not way to in effect enhance the quaility of the pictures as other software provides.

Overall:  I give this a thumbs down for its lack of features, I think the company would do well to bundle this with a better picture viewer, better watermarking tool and enhance the GUI to make it easier to use.  You also have several other products that could be bundled with this one to make it a more useful product.

When I visted the company website, your Batch Picture Resizer screenshots look nothing like what I have downloaded today.  The Screenshots look much better than the actual product.

I appreciate the opportunity to test the software, but I will be unistalling as many others have mentioned there are free products that simply do a better job.

If it were me, I'd bundle many of your products especially if you want to make claims that your software is on par with Adobe.  You've got a foundation I suggest you build upon it and then it would be worth the asking price.

Thanks again to all users, GOTD and of course Softorbits. 

Good luck and I look forward to what you will do with the great comments posted here today.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<a href="www.xnview.com" rel="nofollow">xnview</a> is by far the best image utility I've come across. It's very fast and powerful.

Open xnview &amp; go to "Tools" - "Multi Convert..." to convert all of your images in a batch. I say "convert" rather than "resize", because resizing your images is only 1 of many options that you can apply to your images.

If this is the 1st time you have used xnview, I would recommend going into options and making the following changes:
- Disable browser on start up
- Change keyboard/mouse settings to preferences]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[All programs here that require "Activate.exe" I delete upon opening the zip file. Active.exe does not work well with most firewall and anti-virus software plus it seems to fail about half the time. I am not giving Active any online access permissions since it is reported as a virus.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have several free image resizing and batch renaming programs on my computer. Fastone is one of my favorite free programs. I also have Adobe CS and Bridge can do batch renaming as well. But since I am a software junkie, I'll still download today's giveaway as well.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Find this program inflexable, watermark placement is pants !!
IrFanView is much more flexable if a bit too complicated, it does do a lot more. Watermark placement isn't much better though.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#49 never heard of Irfanview need to pay until your post, if you're talking about the CAD plugin, it stated as shareware and I think that's 3rd party developed, when you have such need you can pay for their service, it's made available as a service, I don't see anything wrong with that, you don't "need" to pay if no need for that plug-in.

Now I need to check out if Picasa can view CAD or not, feel free to share good alternative.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Being a bit of an image manipulation buff I tend to do my image resizing one image at a time rather than batch resizing. as my handle says, I'm a GIMP user which is just as good if not better than Photoshop without the huge price tag (GIMP is always free). You can also get a batch resizer script for GIMP that allows you to do much more than today's giveaway. That being said... today's giveaway is very useful for quick and dirty resizing and watermarking. To the developers I would suggest better folder recognition and more uniform watermarking as well as the option to add more than one of each type of watermark.]]></description>
