I think the main benefits of irfanview are missed from people not installing the plugins, but the real strength of irfanview lies in its batch processing capabilities and its choice of resizing algorithms as an aside, it took me quite some time downsizing an image of a slat table the other day in increments using different resampling techniques - blurring and sharpening as I went as needed until I had something acceptable at the end. It turned out quite a frustrating and challenging set of images! Moire and jaggies occuring if I overstepped only a tiny bit! I'm glad I had the algorithms to deal with it for a straight resample/resize made the thing look like a staircase! k
