    Calculator for resizing, scaling and reproducing any 2D object. Can also be used to determine the number of duplicate images that will fit onto a page.

    Palm Powered Solution (TM)



    OptiSize™ takes the trial and error out
    of resizing photographs.

      Stop wasting time!
    Try using OptiSize in conjunction
    with other software that requires more trial and error. 
    OptiSize will get to the final reduction ratios more quickly.

      This program is a calculator for resizing, scaling and reproducing images, photos, documents, or any two-dimensional object.  It is an electronic version of a Photo-Mechanical Transfer (PMT) whiz-wheel.  This calculator can also be used to determine the number of duplicate images that will fit onto a page.

    Minimize waste by determining
    how many images you can fit on one sheet.



    Features include:
    • Calculates scale given sizes of original and final images. This program is very general purpose.
    • Calculates final/original size given original/final size and scale.
    • Calculates quantity to a page given final image size and page size.
    • Calculates image size given page size and quantity to fit in page.
    • Calculates page size given image size and quantity to fit in page.
    • 30 default size dimensions available for selection in the pop-up quick list under "Original" "Final" and "Page Size."
    • Up to 50 custom size dimensions can be stored.  Can save or delete these sizes as desired.
    • Intuitive user interface.
    • Supports both English and Metric units.
    • Unique Tab format allows for easy switching between views.
    • Large navigation buttons -- easier to use with fingers vs stylus.
    • 5 way navigation button support--easier use when on the go!
    • Handles dimensions up to 99,999 inches.

    Applications/Examples

    • Sizing graphics (photos, clip art) for PMT.
    • Sizing photos to fit into odd-sized picture frames.
    • Determining photocopier scale setting for obtaining desired reduction/enlargement.
    • Photo resizing in general (Example:  convert 5x7 to 4x6).  Stop wasting time--try using OptiSize in conjunction with other software that requires more trial and error to get the final reduction ratios.
    • Determine number of business cards you can print on one page to determine how much card stock you need.
    • Resizing sections of markups of engineering drawings for communicating changes to designers or faxing portions of drawings.
    • Resizing documents in A4 to fit on an 8 1/2 x 11" sheet.
    • Resizing documents in US legal size to US letter size.
    • Determine optimum size of image to print out photos for baby announcements on the least amount of photo paper.  (Example:  You have 58 announcements and only 3 sheets of photo paper.  Determine the biggest size of your baby's photo for 58 prints, minimizing wasted white space.)
    • Scale your text to banner size.

      OptiSize is very general purpose.

    Industry Reviews and Comments
    from Palm Websites and Publications


    Handheld Computing Magazine

    "If you work in the graphics arts, page layout, a framing
    store, or need [resizing] at your fingertips,
    this one's for you."


    excerpt from Handheld Computing magazine, by Harv Laser, Palm Editor
    March 2006  "OptiSize allows calculating, resizing, scaling, and reproduction of images, photos, documents, or any two-dimensional media.... OptiSize can also determine the largest number of duplicate images that will fit on a page.  If you work in the graphic arts, page layout, a framing store, or need this capability at your fingertips, this one's for you.  Use OptiSize to resize photos for odd-sized picture frames, to size graphics for newsletters, to determine photocopier scale setting, or to find the percentage to convert 5x7 photos to 4x6.  Optimize the number of business cards you can print on one page, resize A4 documents to US letter size, or find the number of sheets you need to print out wallet prints for Christmas cards or announcements."

    You can read the full review in the March 2006 issue
    of Handheld Computing magazine, along
    with reviews of all Creative Algorithms' software.
