Whether you’re blogging for pleasure or profit, the effective use of images to capture and maintain your readers attention is very important.

I’ve been using a free program called IrfanView for about eight years in my eBay business to edit end resize images I use for my auctions.  Recently, I’ve also used it for the images I use in my blogs.

I’ve created a short little video about how to use a free image editing tool called IrfanView that shows you how to do a variety of things with images so that you can use them effectively in your blog.

In this video you will learn:

• How to change the way you view files in a folder.
• How to rename image files in the folder.
• How to rotate images.
• Crop photos to change the perceived quality of the image.
• Crop photos to use for header backgrounds.
• How to adjust the brightness contrast in gamma of pictures you may have taken yourself.
• How to resize the pictures for your blog post
