Is there a way to esily shrink a bunch of pictres? I could open the up in Photoshop shrink them and then save them, but I have an awful lot of them and that would take a very long time by hand. Is there any why to write a scrip in Photoshop (or any program) that would automate some of this?
 
Torghn,

Dont know if you've tried this. Place them in a folder and zip them up via WinZIP or some other proggy such as WinRAR or WinACE.
 
You can automate the process in photoshop by making a droplet. Read the docs for specific instructions. You use the record feature to set up the macro and then save it as a droplet on the desktop. Then, you just drag the folder of images you want to process onto the droplet icon and photoshop will resize, etc, them all. It's complicated at first, but once you learn how, well, the good times keep on rollin'--or something.
 
You might look at Image Magick. It's a very nice image manipulation library with C, C++, Java, Perl & Python API. If you know any of those languages, it would be a small exercise to come up with a program to do what you need.

I would also look at some of the free/shareware sites like tucows or freshmeat.
 
richleader is right. If you have Photoshop that's the easiest way.

You can also create a macro in Photoshop that allows you to record an activity and then apply it to all your pictures, i.e. sharpen, resize, save as. or whatever you need. Once you set the macro you can save it and apply to all your pictures... if you want.
 
Thanks <FONT face=Verdana size=1>richleader and Thera, that's exactly what I wanted to know. Now just to figure out how...
