Resizing images

[IchWill]

So I just went on a vacation with a bunch of friends, and I have a lot of pictures that I want to email to them. I have a 7.1 MP camera and the images are too big and detailed. I know how to resize images but the program I use can only do it one at a time and it will take forever if I try that way. Are there any programs or any tips for resizing a lot of images?

You can do batch processing with IrfanView, and it's free.

Go to the MS site and download Image Resizer. It's one of the Powertoys.

Agreed. I use that too. You can select all of the images, right click, resize pictures. Select the size you want, click ok, and boom. You have the originals, and the resized. That simple.

I whole-heartedly recommend ez thumbnails. Do everything you need in one shot. To top it off, it's FREE. Here's the link:

3rd that. google.com and search for "image resizer powertoy"
once installed you simply select any pics you want and right click -> resize pictures. It has default 4:3 ratio values to resize to and can create copies or resize the original image. It also works if you take a sideways shot then size is to be 3:4 ... it figures it out.
