Resizing large images

I have a bunch of images of different dimensions that I want to resize to a maximum size (e.g. 1500 pixels). Similar to how "Web Photo Gallery", any files greater than the max size (in either X or Y dimension), it resizes maintaining aspect ratio. Any files smaller will not resize.

"Fit Image" doesn't work because it will resize small files up to the maximum.

Anything available? TIA

Most if not all freeware/shareware graphic viewers often have option to batch image resizing

Irfanview is brilliant for resizing and more...and it's free

Haven't yet seen one that 'tests' the image to see -=IF=- it's smaller than the resize 'level' and leaves it alone! (read OP's statement)

Which -=specific=- one have you found that will do that?

I do believe you know what to do with the images, I just give the info then you do whatever you feel like.

If you really want to batch size files, there's several options. You can use the batch droplet from imageready, but that's a scattergun thing. Hit's everything in a folder whether you want it or not.

Or you can use Thumbsplus, build your database, and find JUST the files you want to resize, then do just those FOUND files. I'd make a complete copy of your files before doing this with either the droplet or TP. But TP is much more selective. I've used TP several times JUST for this. ie: all files larger than 912 pixels height, select, then resize JUST those down to 'maintain aspect ratio x 912 pixels'. or find by size, and resize by quality 0-100%.
TP can ALSO find by x>= 1500 OR y>=1500, but you'd be better off doing 2 operations. find either x>=1500 or y>=1500, then search for the other and resize them.
Because you're actually talking about 2 different image layouts. 1500 wide vs 1500 tall. it may be 1500 wide, and 3000 tall. you'll get the scattergun effect again by trying to do two operations at the same time.

Thanks Jack. I keep forgetting that irfanview has processing capabilities. It has all the options that I need.

NO more information is necessary from the OP ...
You simply can't read and just blow wind instead of any facts that might have been useful to the OP.

Perhaps if I coalesce the OP into:

Then read yiour generic answer, request for specific clarification and your 'wind'.

Don't see anythin like that statement in this thread - certainly not in the first few posts ... IF you can have someone read them to you, they're still qouted above!

There is a tool from Microsoft that resizes jpegs and lets you choose not to enlarge files smaller than the specified size. It is a free download at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppow ertoys.mspx Just click on the "image Resizer" on the right side of the screen. It's free and really easy to use. Just select the file names and right click on them. The resizer comes up and you have a variety of options. (Of course it only works with Windows.)
