Not seen this mentioned anywhere. I know a lot of people use IrfanView for resizing & saving screenshots etc. so it might be useful.

I just updated to the latest IrfanView 4.20. http://www.irfanview.com/
It has several new features, the most interesting one being a 'Save for Web' option like Photoshop, PSP & Paint.NET. This seems to work very well & takes out all the guesswork when trying to save images at the highest possible quality while keeping within the forum file size limits. You can either adjust the output file size with the familiar quality slider or click the 'Compress to size' button & type in the desired size in Kb. It's a plugin so in order to use it you need to install the latest full plugin package posted here. http://www.irfanview.com/plugins.htm

This is the new UI from File/Save for Web.

I had problems with the plugin so just downloaded the new version and installed it.. Worked like a Charm!

Thanks for the Heads up Doug!

The plug-in seems to have a mind of its own when it comes to compressing screenies.

145 in Human language seems to mean 158 in IrfanView

Setting a value of 145 KiB gives me 158 KB. Setting a value of 140 KiB also gives me 158 KB for some reason.

How can it depend on how you measure the filesize, if 145 and 140 both come out the same way?

I'm not saying I'm forced to use it, I am using it, and I have for as long as I can remember.

All I'm saying, is that the plug-in isn't working as it should.
