Faisal -- No, I don't believe PhotoED does batch processing (just lets you open several pics at a time, but you must toggle between them to resize). ThumbsPlus does have a Batch Process under Image pulldown -- very handy. I use this prog often -- don't remember where I got it from. It's similar to ACDSee. | ||

DES, will put you on my chat buddy list...I use Trillian, and I believe Yahoo! has problems with that, but hopefully it will work.  | ||

Eric, does PhotoEditor do batch jobs? If so, I will install it and check it out. | ||

Matt, others... Microsoft's PhotoEditor (comes packaged with Office suite I think) is a great tool for this. Image resizing is a snap. ThumbsPlus v.4.0 is great too, and is also a good "catalog" image viewer with many features. Matt...you have mail... | ||

DES, that is definitely one of the most tedious ways of doing it. What you need is an image processing program with batch processing. There's numerous freeware/shareware/commercial utilities. I use ACDSee. It's awesome. It's not free though, unless you get it off KaZaa. I recommend paying for it and registering it. It's really good stuff. Photoshop also has a batch processing mode. Use the online help to figure it out. It's a bit convoluted, but it works. Check Cnet or Google for a ton of other options. Be careful to copy everything into a separate directory and work with the copied directory only. Or you might end up resizing all your precious originals which you might not be able to recover/replace. | ||

Thanks Tony. DES, I was about to drop the bomb on Ferrarichat with all my pics but I'll do it a section at a time and let them correspond with the days of the trip. Some of them turned out a little bit blurry especially the ones from the party with that instant camera I had (maybe it was the tequila . I'm going to get started on this right now. | ||

Matt, you can resize each picture in Paint... Just open the picture, hit ctrl+W and a window will come up; in that window, resize the picture down to what you think will fit... With every picture i post, i resize each one twice... Ctrl+W, then reduced to 75% horizontally and 75% vertically, then hit enter... Hit ctrl+W again and reduce it the same way, only 50 percent... Alt+F will open the File part of the menue from the left hand of the drop down and hitting A will bring up a "save-as" window... Hit Shift+Tab 4 times and it'll bring you to the top drop down menu asking you where you'd like to save it... Hit the down arrow once and then the up arrow until you get to DESktop... Hit the Tab button three times to get to the window where you type in the name you want to call the picture, name it, hit enter and you're done... Or someone else could post something easier... | ||

Can it be done with Windows 98? All I have is a Kodak imaging program and the paint program. Anywhere I can download one? Thanks |
