    when you say resize, do you mean like by pixel size or by file size?

    www.winzip.com or www.winrar.com will compress your files, by images dont compress well

    you can create a batch resizing action in photoshop, point it to a dir and watch it whizz thru and resize them all for you...

    if you want to batch resize images, i would recommend Photoshop, it has the ability to set up actions. and resizing is one of them.

    recently i had to resize mug shots of people in my company. 726 in total. I had to options Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop. I started off in PSP, but it involved me having to to repeatedly do the same thing. Open the image, press Shift + S hit Enter, Ctrl + S. For every image. Pain it the butt.

    I asked a friend who is a graphic designer, and he pointed me in the right direction. And this was using Photoshop.

    thats two for photoshop :D


    also with the actions, you can do other stuff as well, so it will do the same to all images, like add a watermark, autolevels, change dpi etc

    very useful tool in PS!
