I'm currently creating icons for 52 cards of a card game, and, using MS Paint and MS Office Picture Manager to crop a larger image which contains all the cards, and, resize the pictures so that each card is stored in a separate file i.e. 01.GIF is Ace of Clubs up to 52.GIF should be King of Spades. I'm using Java 1.6 and Eclipse to code the application.

However, I have noticed that the manual cropping leads to a slight difference in the image size (when reading the image on MS Windows, so for example one image has dimensions of 73 x 98 - presumably pixels), while another image has dimensions of 73 x 97).

Any idea how to ensure that the dimensions are the same?

The images are available in a RAR file at http://bit.ly/dHKEsI.

The cards are Ace, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Jack, Queen, King of Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades each.

I'd simply suggest not using MS Paint and MS Office Picture Manager if the crop sizes turn out to be wrong. Maybe try a decent program like IrfanView or even a trial of Photoshop Elements, where you would be able to define a specific crop size. – slhck Apr 22 '11 at 8:56
