FL Wallpapers
-
If you have XP u can simply select every pic and resize it by right-clicking and selecting ‘Convert to file format’. In there you will be given the option of setting a specific size. Just pick JPG for the format since it is normally the smallest file size and it works even on the oldest browsers.

Another option, if you’re using Photoshop, is setting up a macro / recording a new “action”. Been a lil bit since I needed to do it, but I think CS2 was easier and had a batch option, however I could just be remembering things that don’t exist again
But yeh, actions are pretty handy, and can be assigned to an F (+ shift & or +ctrl) key. Helps also if you do digital photography with a crappy camera 
can set up auto contrast, etc.More I think of it, I do recall that batch resize in CS2, because it was able to perform the action on all open documents.
Anyhoo, sorry for rambling. Just figured it might turn up handy. -
Why, you made my day. Now, I must go make a sig with it!
gleeEDIT: If you have objections to that, please let me know.
EDIT 2: Why, do you think this same thing is possible for other mods that have fully-skinned ships? I don’t mean YOU doing them, but if someone could follow your same steps and make the same quality renders for ships that aren’t classic FL?

I have a Large Collection of Maps of all the various mods i have flown – and i have XP – how do i resize them so that i can insert them into the forum for display and use – every time i try this they come out full size – some are huge 1600 x 1200 and they are all already in jpeg format – I confess to my being naive :-[ -

It is in my right click menu, XP Professional. But it does open Pixillion Image Converter from NCH Software
Free from http://www.nchsoftware.com/imageconverter/index.html do not know if it does what you want I just used it to batch convert to JPEG for a DVD slideshow.

I don’t know what LS is using… But if your looking for solution to do that and a lot more for FREE, this is what I would rush to get…
??? Your not the only one Ed, I’m starting to think LS has an app installed that he’s forgotten about, as XP home sure doesn’t give you that option.

Why485 - awesome images !

**I have nothing special installed, it works on every single install of XP that I have. Be warned though, if the file format you select is the same as the picture format, it will overwrite your images. I would suggest making a copy of your pics and resizing your copied files.
First, select every pic you want converted to a new size. Then follow the steps below…
Right mouse click->Convert to file format…
Next window will ask if you want to convert all to the same format, yep, you certainly do so click ‘OK’.
In the ‘Extension’ box select ‘.JPG’
In the ‘Image Options’ group box, set the ‘Width’ and ‘Height’ you desire the final pic to be (it should show ‘Default’ in both boxes), if you want a 1/10th normal size pic for a 1280 x 1024 pic, you would enter 128 for the ‘Width’ and 102 for the ‘Height’ to keep the aspect ration close to correct.
Click ‘OK’ to convert them to the new size. It will ask you if you want to overwrite any pics of the same format (you picked JPG format when all of the pics are JPG), you select ‘Yes to all’. This is why you need to make a copy of the pics you want to convert, otherwise you will lose all of your full size pics.
That’s it, nothing special involved.
I have verified this works on Win XP SP2 and SP3.**

I’m pretty sure you have something installed LS because I’ve never seen that and I do not have it on this computer running XP SP3.

**I must have something installed because I just checked at work and I don’t have that on this system. If I figure out what program is adding it I will post it here. It’s a really useful feature.
Ther used to be a free program on the web called ‘Resizer’ that would do mass resizing of pictures, if I can find that in my archives I will put up a download for it.
@Why485 - great pics, I saw those on your blog, you do great work!**
