/ blog | image gallery | resize images online or on your PC maintaining quality

We’ve finally released the comments feature. You can now leave a comment on any image in the gallery for everyone to see. This can help you talk about how to use the online image resizer, what settings work best for any picture, but also express your excitement with any new images posted on the site.

To post a new comment you need to login.

A new feature has been added to Reshade.com. Now you can easily post your images to your favorite bookmarking site or social network. You can also share an image with your friends by email, importing available contacts from your address-book. See it on the site:

The older “link to this image” panel has been moved to the top of the page for better visibility. By default only a compact version is displayed. If you click on “more >>” you can view the expanded set of options.

Hope you like this. Please leave your comments below if you have any.

An update has been made to the quick thumbnail zoom algorithm. When you hover your mouse over the images in the gallery a part of the underlying image is zoomed and shown in place of the original thumbnail. The part of the image with the best focus is selected.

In the new version of the algorithm the selection is made dependent not just on the greatest detail regions of the image but also on highest color contrast. Most importantly, the selection contains most probably a whole object (if there is one in the image that can be cropped at this zoom).

The most noticeable improvements can be seen on high quality pictures. The top voted pictures from the online image gallery are good examples of this. Because low quality images taken with cell-phones or having poor focus or other defects don’t usually have so many localized details, the quick zoom selection will not be representative in this case.

What the above implies is a method to find good quality images.  Usually these have great looking thumbnails but also a well chosen quick zoom.

The quick zoom is also available in the related images section on the right of each tagged image.
