Toolbars and Add-ons
The following add-ons and toolbars are ones that we often use when developing a website. They are not required, but rather suggested. We cannot provide support for these, so please use and support at your own risk.
- Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-developer/

For Firefox users, this will install an image editor (Pixlr) that can be used to make basic edits to images, including resizing.
http://azarask.in/jetpack/editor/ - Google Picasa
A free image management application from Google. Exporting lets you resize your photos while controlling the JPEG compression (image quality) introduced by your applied photo edits. The result is newly resized copies of your photos, saved to any location on your hard drive. During the export process, you can adjust both the 'Image Size Options' and the 'Image Quality' settings in the 'Export to Folder' screen.
