Sweatin' in Arizona... but it's a dry heat!

I've noticed a couple posts here and there with folks struggling to resize their photos.  Microsoft has a bunch of utilities for XP that they call Powertoys. One of these is an image resizer. Try it out.  Lets you select any number of pics, then with a right-click you can resize them to 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and even a custom setting.  It preserves your original by saving the resized file as filename (small).jpg

Thanks Bryan.  I had been using a program called Advanced JPEG Compressor but this is  MUCH easier.

Thanks Bryan, I'll have to check it out.  Too bad it doesn't come preinstalled on Windows.

Are you referring to Photoshop not having a Batch feature or this Micro$oft add-on not having a Batch...?

Not only does Photoshop have the Batch feature, but CS2 has an Image Processor which is very easy to use to create resized images!

I have CS2.. I guess I never explored this feature... I'm sure I only know about 1/10th of what can be done with CS2... is there a crash course on Photoshop?
