Anyone use a good little app for Photo resizing of both the picture and canvas? If it's a freebie even better. Most I find are image only, not canvas.

Irfanview does both; I use it all the time for both: http://www.ausgamers.com/files/details/html/41095

imageresizing powertool?

Isn't anywhere near as flexible as Irfanview.

but is smaller, nicer, quicker and easier

what spook said
100x better for noob users
(not saying you're a noob OP)

I just installed that powertoy thing and I can't see any option to do canvas resizes

Colour me noob but what's the canvas resizing for?

Cropping.

I've with whoop, I dont know what canvas even refers to in the context of photos

the imaginary container
You could compare it to the size of the paper a photo is printed on. You could have a photo that would fill an A4 paper, but only put in a tiny paper in the printer (and have a stupid printer that doesn't resize) then you've put the photo on a smaller canvas essentially cropping the canvas. Go the other way and increase the canvas/paper and you wind up with a lot of whitespace around the photo.
