I prefer Python's PIL library myself. Less overhead, less hassle with Irfanview's bizarre interface and interpretation of settings.. This little script helps me prepare shipsets for posting in the SEnet shipyards. I didn't have to do any resizing, but you can find info on how to do that here (http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet396.html).
(bloody code tag sucks... stupid extra line breaks)
