Batch processing JPG
 

I have been taking a lot of photos with my 3.2 megapixel camera. I usually take them at the highest quality setting since I intend to print or archive them.

I need a method to batch process photos and change the quality and/or size to cut down the file size for web-posting or e-mailing to bandwidth-challenged friends and family.

I have Corel Draw 7 (with Photo Paint 7) and a half dozen other low-end photo programs. Does anyone know of any cheap programs or shareware/freeware utilities with a feature for this? Does Photo-Paint have this feature and I just haven't found it?

gimp has a batch mode, but I'm not familiar with how it works.

You might also check out Photoshop Elements. I don't know if they're still doing it with version 2, but with version 1 you could download a time-limited demo from the Adobe web site. It definitely has this feature.

It basically works by running a Script-Fu script from the command line. Script-Fu is basically Lisp

I'm sure this is what she meant to say.

Irfanview has a batch processing feature. But I just checked and I don't see resizing as a batch option. Hmm.

Here we go...

Thank you, thank you... I'll be here all week!

Ahhh! See, I can lead a horse to water, but I can't tell you what the heck water is.

Ah, thank you. Must have grabbed the wrong URL. Another tabbed browsing casualty.
