Hello
I have a number of pictures where I would like to change only the horizontal size of only part of the picture by a particular percentage. I can essentially achieve this through the following steps:
- creating a selection box through the mouse
- copying the section (ie have selected only part of the picture)
- using edit / create a custom crop selection - change the "width" dimension of the "selection size / position" - apply to image - (ie have changed the horizontal size of the selection box)
- edit / paste
The selected image is thus shrunken horizontally as I wanted. There are 3 options related to the width dimension - "pixels / cm / inches". In the above if my original selection was 200 pixels and I wanted to take 75% of the picture, I would enter 150. My question is that I would like to shrink the horizontal dimension by exactly 75% for all my pictures and am trying to avoid having to "calculate" the new width for each picture. (I have about 1000 pictures I need to do this for). I'd like to be able to just put in the new horizontal percentage (ie the 75%).
Under the "image" menu, under the "resize/resample" item there is a way to change the width / height percentage but this only seems to apply to the entire image. Is there another way to accomplish the above through this menu option or some other feature of irfanview? I could crop the image and resize but then I'd have to re-open the original image to paste it into - I'd like to be able to do this within the original image if possible.
I am using version 4.25 on Windows XP Home
Thanks Ken
