Digital Camera users: [resizing pictures question]

[SnoopCat]

i just got a digital camera and im a newbie at it. I took alot of pictures and each one is big (~300k). i was wondering if theres any automatic software so that the pictures are reasonably size to like ~50k. Ive been doing it manually (one-by-one), and it gets tiring. anyone know of any programs that can automatically resize them?

I don't know about the link above, I've never tried it, but what I do is relatively simple.

Use the SAVE FOR WEB feature in Photoshop. If you think you need to do this one by one, you haven't discovered the ACTIONS feature. You open all your pics in Photoshop. START recording for a new action, resize/save for web on 1 pic (save to somewhere), close the pic... then STOP recording. Now every time you play the ACTION, it will resize your pic for you, save it to the same folder you specified before, then close it... so you're ready for each of the next ones.

It works as fast as you can click PLAY for the action.

That works too, but this one can do thousands with just one batch process... I converted about 700 earlier today in less than 3 minutes with one click... IMO thats a little easier...

You can also use the Automate>Batch processing function in PhotoShop. I used it a lot yesterday, and it's great!

300k? thats nothing. are you saving pictures at low quality setting or something? even my old 1mega pixel cam does 300k alone

as for a freeware converter, use infran view. great program. allows batch conversion of files. just save em all as higher compression jpgs

Look for a program call 'Easy Thumbnails' on download.com

It allows you to resize any number of pictures all to a specify size with 1 click of a button... perfectly free and small in size...

That's what I use to resize all my pics for the web or make my thumbnails...
