Yes it is a great addon.
You could try to use BDSizer.

Great shots of a fantastic FSX aircraft Cool

Looks like your size and weight are spot on, Yancovitch. It must be your resizing program.
Like Bass said, BDSizer is a great program. I use it and have never had my images look bad from compression........now maybe they looked bad to begin with, but it was no fault of BDSizer Grin

This might or might not help depending on which version of BD Sizer you have. /yabb?num=1269110775

I did a similar walk-through for Irfanview. /yabb?num=1268597411

Wow! That's certainly a big improvement. Smiley

I can't think why BD Sizer didn't work for you.

Somehow the PNG format of the original screenshots was changed to an incorrect file extension which is the reason BD Sizer refused to open them. I've suggested that yancovitch uses the V key to take shots in future.

I didn't elaborate as I've never seen this problem reported before.

I think that's a matter of opinion Doug. Irfanview is ideal for this job. It's easy enough to use once it's set up properly, just like BD Sizer & all other software.
