Post by MicheleUsing Office Picture Manager, is there anyway to reduce the file size
for a batch of pictures? I have about 500 images taken with a Nikon
that are each 1-2 MG original size. These are spread out in about 4
folders. Is there a way to reduce all of them to a document size?
Thanks!
===================================
FWIW...before you resize your original images
and lower their resolution ...I would suggest that
you archive your original images on CDs / DVDs /
External hard drive / etc...
Anyway...are these image files in the JPEG
format?
If you are running WinXP go to the following
link and download and install:
ImageResizer.exe

or...
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Then you can open any folder that contains
images and you will have an option to resize.
Just right click the selected image files and
choose Resize Pictures from the menu. You
can select one image or a whole group.
The program will place the resized copies in
the folder with your originals.
(Tip: *Never* overwrite your originals)
To insure that images in both portrait and
landscape orientation are resized to the
same dimensions...go to...Advanced...
and enter the largest number in both fields.
IOW...for 600x800...enter 800 in both fields.
If you are running Vista....try the following
