Resizing and Editing Your Photos Online

With a high volume of photographs to be resized, a time-saving and cost-saving resizing tool is highly appreciated by the CHeTARE Project team (me). A web search reviewed PicResize which was promoted as

"The Internet's Best Picture Resizing Tool Easily crop, resize, and edit your images online for FREE at PicResize. 44,086,131 pictures served!"

After processing several folders of archived and active photographs, I was definitely Not disappointed. The timely receipt of a zip file with the resized photos hooked me on PicResize. 

You guessed it... PicResize.com has been added to the "CHeTARE ToolBox". Therefore, I was Not surprised when I read the blog... 

PicResize.com Reaches 40 Million Processed Picture...
 PicResize.com has now reached a new milestone since the company’s inception, almost 8 years ago. Nich Wattanasin, founder of PicResize.com.


Take a Test Drive: You are encouraged to check out PicResize by resizing your own photo right now: Please note that the photograph's width has been pre-set at 300 pixels for this test-drive. The photo's height will automatically scale during the resizing process. Your feedback would be appreciated!

Welcome to 'CHeTARE Tech Tips', a blog designed to complement the ­­“conversations” within Community Health Technology Awareness Resource Exchange (CHeTARE) Project and Community HIV/AIDS Resource Exchange (CHARE) Project. It is hoped that this blog will help to increase the understanding of social media platforms and relevant applications within public and community health.

Website: CHARE Project

Since 2009, our interest has been centered on the integration of social media and virtual world platforms within HIV/AIDS service organizations. In 2010, CHARE Project was established to provide capacity building through social media and virtual worlds to enhance access and linkage to HIV/AIDS information and resources. In the process, it was revealed that additional technical assistance and usability training would be needed to ensure the effective use of social media and virtual world platforms.

In 2012, CHeTARE Project was created as a companion program providing technical assistance and training. While capacity building is the overall goal for both programs, the objectives of CHARE Project and CHeTARE Project are different. The primary objective of CHARE Project is to enhance access and delivery of information and resources pertaining to HIV prevention, AIDS awareness, HIV/AIDS stigma, HIV testing and related health disparities. The preferred channels to reach this objective are social media and virtual world platforms. The objective of CHeTARE Project is to increase the basic understanding of social media platforms and relevant applications within public and community health. The preferred channels to reach this objective are technical assistance and training pertaining to social media and virtual worlds. CHeTARE Project was officially launched on February 22, 2013. So excited to back at my "CHeTARE Tech Tips" desk after focusing most of my attention on real life  STI laboratory training and 3D immersive virtual world building projects.
