Image Optimizer Busted - Update: Replaced With A Better One.

It means that I wasn't able to find them anywhere near where they used to be, and didn't realize the little circles in the corner of the image were the rotations until I tried clicking them.

It is now; in the old version it was often the case that the width was over 2000 pixels but the height wasn't.
In principle, one could have similar problems now if their camera makes photos over 8000 pixels wide, but that should be fairly rare, and in any case such photos could probably be safely downsized a bit before cropping anyway.

Thanks! And maybe, depends on the screen - on some modern screens 600 pixel images would look tiny.

Thanks for adding it! But I'm pretty sure it wasn't there when I checked (maybe it just hadn't been added yet).

When I checked, it didn't even do that - it just provided me an "unnamed" file. I might have been downloading in the wrong way, however (again, no instruction).
Works now, thanks! A bit of a complicated download method though

No, more like I kept finding one problem after another, and didn't really want to play with it more, but was pretty sure I would probably stumble on more problems if I did.

Actual coin is ~500 pixels wide in the image, but I wasn't able to change it back to the original size, because the original size was too large. Fixed now (see above).

Possibly. I tried it now and it was very nice.

One remaining problem is that there's now no indication of upload progress, but since uploads generally appear to be a lot faster now, it might not be that much of a problem. And it's probably too complicated to fix, anyway.

The crop box can definitely be moved, and this is the case both in the old and the new optimizer.

I take most of my coin photos with my smartphone, and occasionally, depending on the lighting and the coin color, I want the coin to be entirely out of the phone's shadow (near the top of the image) or, more rarely, entirely in it (near the bottom of the image).
The optimizer would definitely have sucked if it was not possible to crop photos positioned like that; practically speaking, there's no difference between it and your example, so that should work too.

It would make for a somewhat low-resolution result, however.

You drag the sides of the crop box where you need them. Just like that. Very easy.

(I admit that it might be somewhat more complicated on a mobile browser.)

You can also click and hold in the center of it and move the entire thing.

I love this forum, but I am so technologically ignorant I have a feeling I'm going to be lost in the shuffle. I have a Nikon image processor (NX 2). It allows me to edit images. I basically have just been cropping them, and then used your old resizer to get to 300 KB. I assume that makes my images hosted? The first step in the new resizer says "Upload Images"? I can't seem to figure out what I have to do differently.

On Internet Explorer, the download prompt clears the list of uploaded images (returning back to the Washington token).

I found this the hard way - I uploaded four photos, and cropped all of them, before clicking the download button for the first crop, and ended up having to start for scratch for the other three pics.
(Fortunately the whole thing is so fast and convenient that I was able to do them all in like five minutes anyway.)

Haven't checked on Google Chrome yet - maybe there it works properly.
