One tool that I use on regular base is Ms Office Picture Manager. If you want to plants or re-size picture immediately, then this is the best application to do it. I am not a big fan of Ms Office products, but this tool comes really handy when you want to edit p photo quickly. When you set up Ms Office 2007, make sure that you installe this tool too which comes pre-packed.
