  "Super Fast resizing app"

  October 27, 2011  |   By baileydic

  Version: Batch Image Resizer 1.4.6

  Pros

  I was looking for an app that would resize a huge batch of images. This one fit the bill perfectly, and it was faster than the other ones I tried. I especially like how all of the options are in the main window so I don't need to navigate around through many menus to pick out how I am going to resize.

  Cons

  None that I'm aware of yet.

  Summary

  I noticed the previous reviewer had problems with an earlier version. I didn't purchase from the app store, so maybe related to that? Don't know, but my copy is working great!

  "Fast but does not work reliably"

  October 24, 2011  |   By philharve

  Version: Batch Image Resizer 1.4.6

  Pros

  It is fast and the interface is relatively intuitive.

  Cons

  The first time I used it to resize 9 JPEGs (circa 3.5MB) it skipped 2 and all but 1 was incredible small (55kb). It resized 1 photo correctly. I am running Lion on an i7 MBP 15 inch.
  
  I have written to the developer. I have been using iSkySoft PhotoMagic on a MBP 17 inch and it is both quick and reliable. PhotoMagic is more expensive and all I really need is a batch image resizer. I thought Batch Image Resizer might work just as well but I was wrong.

  Summary

  Mostly intuitive and potentially very fast if only it worked. I can resize 1 photo at a time with Batch Image Resizer but that is not the point. If the issues are not resolved then I have wasted my money.

  I contacted the developer and within 24 hours we had resolved the problem. I was offered an earlier build (264) of version 1.4.6 which was emailed to me. Batch Image Resizer (BIR) now works OK and is quite fast.
  
  WARNING - I originally purchased BIR from the App Store. This build (276) proved to be defective, at least it did not work for me. I suggest that if another purchaser experiences similar problems they contact the developer immediately. He responded very quickly and was keen to rectify the problem.

  This is my second update because I have been asked by the developer if I would like to modify the Star rating I initially gave to this product. I would be very happy to amend my rating and would give it 4-Stars but there appears to be no mechanism to do this. I have not given 5-Stars because I downloaded the product again from the App Store and this build particular build still does not work on my Macintoshes; one running Snow Leopard and the other running Lion.

  "Does Exactly what it says it does"

  February 25, 2011  |   By 12bucklemyshoeadf

  Version: Batch Image Resizer 1.4.0

  Pros

  Simple, lightweight. I don't need to open Photoshop for quick resizing and image editing. Also, making actions in photoshop takes a fair amount of time. This app it takes seconds, and it remembers all of my previous resizing settings.

  Cons

  I could see a better fit to box option.

  Summary

  If you need to resize images on the fly (like for web pages), this is the app for you.
