Post by jari »

Is there possible to resize photos in main window, when i see only thumbnail?

I need resize many picture same time? Like select thumb's and resize all.

In the browser, you cannot resize several thumbnails at a time.

But you can use the Batch Conversion of XnView and resize many pictures at once (Menü: Tools->Convert), which is what you want. You can find more information on the Batch Conversion in the Help document which you can open by pressing "F1" key in the XnView Browser.

That's true. Applying JPG compression (when saving) over and over again will result in bad picture quality.

Perhaps you can save the interim results as lossless JPGs or as one of the many other lossless formats (TIFF, ...). In a final conversion, you save the images as JPG and then apply compression (with quality loss), then.

I don't use ACDSee for years. And now I'm on Linux, so I only use XnView.

So I don't know how ACDSee behaves for this "feature", but I won't like it. It will be easy to accidentally resize my images. For me, batch conversion is enough and fits all my needs.

When resizing the images, naturally there will be a loss of data:
First the resizing, second the JPG compression (unless using 100% JPG quality). But I cannot see the difference between using the batch conversion and selecting the images and then resizing them. In both methods, you will have a loss in image quality.
