Creating thumbnails out of screenshots is possibly my most mind-numbingly boring and time-consuming task when writing a blog post. I recently found a neat trick to make this mostly painless: 1. Open the folder where you saved your image. 2. Right-click on the image and select Resize Pictures from the context menu.

Resizing pictures the easy way

  1. Choose the size (you can specify a "custom size" as well) you want and click OK.

The clarity of the resized picture is surprisingly clear.

**Update: ** Actually, to be able to do this, you need the ImageResizer PowerToy from Microsoft.
