It's easy.

Am I missing something? If I want to resize an image to 300x400, then that's what I get. Never once in the thousands of times I've resized images did I ever get anything different than what I've input. You must be doing something horribly wrong.

lol No they're not. To someone who doesn't know any better, it can certainly seem like it though.

And I certainly wasn't going to drop upward of $600 for CS6 or something like Photoshop when I only created mixed-media art for fun.

You don't have to drop any money for Photoshop. CS2 is available for free. In fact the entire CS2 Suite is available... for free. Also, there's Gimp, Infranview, etc... all for free. You're just stuck in your way of doing things.
CS stands for Creative Suite by Adobe, and it contains Photoshop, btw.

My God, you need to just learn how to use an image editing program. More robust, more control, more everything.

Photoshop. Illustrator. Sometimes Corel Draw. I also use AutoCAD just for the calculator.
