Image Resizer is a software utility designed for the resizing and manipulation of jpeg images. I created because I did not have any other image editing program to quickly resize and save my digital photographs. Other programs were either to large and were designed for serious image editing and took too long to start up just to resize a few images. Other image editing programs like Paint can load quickly, but don't provide a good quality result image.

This program is "just right". It's not too bulky, not too dinky, yet provides useful features for manipulating images. Here is a list of features:

resize images
rotate
crop
convert to grayscale
convert to sepia
blur
reduce image noise
invert color values
adjust the amount light
adjust the brightness
save as .jpeg
adjust and preview JPEG image save quality and size
load jpeg images for editing

save jar file to your computer
come to this website and click the Java Webstart Link

save jar and jnlp file to your computer

Right click the "download jar" button above, and choose "save file as". Do the same for the "Java Web Start" button. You can save these files anywhere, but make sure that you put them both in the same folder. I saved mine here:
```
     C:\Program Files\AJsApps
```
but like I said you can save them just about anywhere on your computer.
In your windows file viewer, right click resizer.jnlp and open with notepad.
In your windows file viewer, right click resizer.jnlp and choose Properties. Find the 'Location' property, and copy the location.
In resizer.jnlp file that you opened with a text editor, find the codebase property in the jnlp tag. It should look something like this:
```
     codebase="http://chickenmeister.t35.com/java/imageresizer" 
```
You need to replace it with codebase="file:///THEFILELOCATION", and replace the backslashes (\) with forward slashes (/) so that it should look something like:
```
     codebase="file:///C:/Program Files/AJsApps" 
```
Save the file.
when you double click resizer.jnlp, the application should start up.

Here is the interface. It's pretty clean cut and straight forward; image editing operation buttons on the left, status bar at the bottom, and the current image in the middle.
