 Image Resizer Tool (for XP)
This is great - once installed you simply right-click on an image and resize the original or create a smaller version. A great tool if you want to quickly shrink an image before upload to the web.
Warning: if this is the platform you are using, when visiting the above link, click on the link in the grey box and not the advert at the top of the screen. |
|
Light Image Resizer Tool (for Vista and 7)
This application (formerly known as the VSO Image Resizer) is free to use when resizing images before upload to the web. |
|
FileZilla FTP Uploader
It is possible to FTP upload using My Network Places in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6. You may instead prefer to use this excellent tool for uploading files to your web space by FTP rather than by HTTP when you log into your Joomla! website control panel. |
|
Greenshot Screen Capture Tool
Great screen capture tool which makes so many complex tasks (in image editing software) so much faster and easier. Grab anything - whole or part of screen, from any document or on the web, and add your own annotations as well if you like. We use this |
|
The Gimp
Image manipulation programme or image editor. This is the open source near-equivalent of Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Fireworks. We think the commercial tools are better but only if you have the budget to spend! The Gimp is definitely worth a try. |
|
Mozilla Thunderbird
Excellent email application with in our view a much easier to use Address Book. Excellent calendar extension is also available. Easy to create your email accounts for downloading of mail from your hosting account with Wynchcote. |
|
Mozilla Firefox
Web browser. Much faster than Internet Explorer when editing your Wynchcote dynamic website online. Better user interface too - with excellent web editor tools extension for new and experienced web developers alike. |
|
NvU Web Authoring Software
Use this for creating static websites on your desktop before uploading to the web. HTML content created here can be copied and pasted into your Wynchcote dynamic website using its built-in editor. |
|
123 Video Converter
Download and use this excellent software for converting videos to Flash (.flv) format before uploading to your web server. Saves time, disk space and monthly bandwidth - and therefore money! |
|
CCleaner Registry Cleaner
Registry cleaner which runs on Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000 and 98. Essential freeware tool for making your computer work more efficiently. Use weekly/monthly. Includes a great temporary file cleaner to remove 100s MB of temporary files - the clutter resulting from intensive internet use! |
|
Hash Tab
Enables you to right click on a downloaded application file and check the MD5 Hash Key. If you see a tick then you know the file was not tampered with in transmission. Do not use instead of a firewall - use as well as! Designed for use with Windows and Apple machines. |
|
Acro CutePDF Writer
This is an excellent application that creates an alternative PRINT option enabling you to 'print' a PDF version of any file instead of converting the file. Your PDF is not actually printed but is instead saved on your PC. You can of course later print the PDF on paper if you wish. We prefer to upload ours to the web - saves trees! |
|
Paint.net
We think this is better than GIMP. And as with GIMP it is FREE - get your copy today and start editing images for upload to your Wynchcote website! |
|
Jing Video Capture Tool
The free version enables capture of demonstration content from your desktop (example: how to use a software application) but only saves in .SWF format. The PRO version will save video in .MP4 format. MP4 is ideal for fast easy upload to the web and streaming content through your website. The PRO version is available from the developer for a nominal fee. |
