Photo Sizing?

[nikonjedi]

Good Morning all,

I know that this is a rather elementary question, but I am i need of a simple solution. I shoot with a simple Nikon D40X and I shot alot of pictures on the Large JPEG Setting. Is there a means by which I can compress the entire batch of images to make them smaller? i.e. email friendly sizes? Down to the size of a 4x6 on screen? Feel free to close this thread once someone points me to the appropriate thread or offers a quick solution.

Thanks in advance,
NJ

I use Adobe lightroom, it has a 4by6 preset and also allows for export to any size for the final output

What image editing software do you have? Most can be set up for scripts, macros, or actions that will do this automatically.

if you want something that can batch resize quickly, and are interested in primarily that, take a look at the image resizer from FastStone - FastStone Image Viewer, Screen Capture, Photo Resizer .... Works well and it's free.

FastStone works well. Another free option would be BDSizer: BDSizer - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com

Irfanview is free and has a good batch image editing tool. I use it for renaming as well. Also if you have Photoshop or Elements you can set up action and droplets. Then you just drag your folder on to a droplet and you will have an output folder full of images all sized just as you want.

I'm going to put a tutorial on my site soon that shows exactly how it's done, but in the mean time check out irfanview. Google it.

Cheers
