CNET Editors' review
PhotoRazor provides users with a fast and efficient way of shrinking photos without diluting quality. With only a few commands and impressive results, this will be an asset for frequent photo editors.
The program's interface is an intuitive affair that most will feel instantly comfortable with. By only offering a few well-placed command icons, users will understand almost immediately how the program works. A useful Help file is available. The program begins by users selecting a folder they'd like to convert. Each of the photos is listed along the right side, with one featured in the center of the screen. Along the left side, users are able to customize their shots with two sliders that pick the new photo's size and its picture quality. Users choose a radio button to convert just the photo on screen or the entire folder. They then hit the Convert button and their snapshots are shrunk in a matter of seconds. We were pleased with the results and felt that the smaller images were just as crisp and clear as the larger ones. The program's features include the ability to rotate the photo with a single click. Additionally, users can convert their images to black and white just as simply.
PhotoRazor did install a desktop icon without our permission, but it uninstalled cleanly. With impressive results and simple controls, this freeware program is a winner for those who deal with large images.
Publisher's Description
From Stormdance:
Modern digital cameras take huge photos many megapixels in size - great for high quality printing, but too big to e-mail to friends and family, and too large for displaying on Web sites. PhotoRazor solves this by making high quality copies of your photos at a smaller size - ideal for on-screen viewing. This reduces the file size making them much easier to e-mail and perfect for showing on Web sites. PhotoRazor resizes individual photos and batches of photos using a high quality bicubic resampler, and includes an advanced black & white conversion filter with color tinting.
Version 2.5 features real-time display showing resized photo file size, adds browse button to the Options dialog.
What's new in this version: Version 2.5 features real-time display showing resized photo file size, adds browse button to the Options dialog.

"A wonderful and super-easy resizing tool"
Version: PhotoRazor 2.5
Pros
PhotoRazor is an easy tool to resize images, rotate and colorize/ black/white them and keep a perfect quality.
The smaller photos are placed in a separate folder, ready to be emailed or used on a website. Easy!Cons
Hopefully a future version can crop photos too. The splash screen when opening the program stays a little long (when clicking on it it doesn't go away, instead it takes you to the website). But okay, that website has other neat programs.
