I need to change a file from :gif to jpg" and also resize. I found "Batch Photo" (free for 30 days). Changing the end was no problem but can't figure out how to resize. Is there a etter editing sofeware available. I'm completely lost with editing software.
It is odd to need to convert Gif to Jpg. Gif is indexed colour with a limited palette. When coverting a gif in indexed color to a jpg with an rgb palette, all you will get is a really bad jpg looking similar or worse than the gif.
On the resize, you don't say if you are going up or down, and by how much. If trying to upsize by almost any amount, your resulting jpg will likely look splotchy and posterized. Since most Gifs are ust plain small to begin with, I can't imagine you needing to downsize during the transition to jpg.
You might want to try Gimp. It's free, has resize capability, and many more features.
http://www.gimp.org/The full version of Photoshop is the industry standard for graphics. Photoshop Elements may be more in your price range.
If this gif to jpeg conversion is a one time thing, you might want to ask someone to do it for you. In fact if you post it to the board someone will likely pick it up and do it. If not, you may want to consult someone who has graphics software and knows how to use it.
I think Ifranview will work too. I have not used it in a very long time though and never used it much when I had it.
