wtnhunt Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 With nearly a thousand pics from the girls trip, kind of figure it might be best to save a copy of the files from the cards on the hard drive to resize them as an entire batch rather than going through one by one. Have a few photo editing programs on this computer but nothing that I know of that will resize an entire batch, anyone here know of a good trusted downloadable free program for resizing batches? Google shows up tons of them, tempted to try a one, but just not so sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I have no idea how well this program works but you could try it for free and see if it works. Looks like it's exactly what your looking for: http://www.photoelf.com/batch/resize.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I cant think of anything off of the top of my head. I typically edit them all the hard way... Hopefully someone has a good program. I take so many shots something like that could come in really handy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm23494 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Google's Picasa allows you to do that. You can export (copy) an entire batch of photos and when you begin the export process it allows you to resize all photos being moved. You can also upload through Picasa and it will allow you to resize the photo being uploaded. Good luck with it and can't wait to see the pics.

92xj Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) Once they are saved to the computer, photobucket will allow you to download 50 pics at a time and it resizes them as it dumps them into their site. Doing 50 at a time is a lot better than one at a time. Just a thought. When you sign up there it gives you the option to download them at 4 or 5 different sizes. One option was named, website posting, or something like that. Sign up and check it out. Also, by doing that you can go through and post the pictures you want but then also post the address to the entire account to see all the pics. Just like I did with the pics of me coming across the country. Anyhow, good luck and GET TO IT!!!!! I AM READY TO SEE THEM, DANG IT. EDIT: This also allows you to keep the picture size large on the hard drive. You want to keep those big because when you find one you want to print out, the quality will be great. Or if you want to blow one up the larger pic will be better but the ones on the internet will be small enough for posting. Right now I have somewhere around 700 pics on my photobucket and I think I am around 19% full. So dont worry about the limit on the account.

This is a fairly new program i think...Well it is to me, but i agree, and i would recommend using this web page/program...I'm just now learning about it, but it seems pretty user friendly and is pretty fast.

wtnhunt Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Thanks for the suggestions here.

Right now I have somewhere around 700 pics on my photobucket and I think I am around 19% full. So dont worry about the limit on the account. My photobucket account is around 45% full. I don't really want to upload them all, my dsl speed is the cheapest package I could get so it is kind of slow and uploading 50 8 mega pixel pics at a time would take forever. Google's Picasa allows you to do that. You can export (copy) an entire batch of photos and when you begin the export process it allows you to resize all photos being moved. You can also upload through Picasa and it will allow you to resize the photo being uploaded. Good luck with it and can't wait to see the pics. I looked at picasa's features this morning just before posting this and did not see a batch resize option on the website. I guess I may download it and try it out. I know that program is a trusted program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I would recommend IRFANVIEW for batch processing. http://download.cnet.com/IrfanView/3000-2192-10021962.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a few minutes to figure out, but this program seems to be just what I was looking for. I did have to delete the files and resave them at full quality though, overlooked the default quality being at 80%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have some smaller pixel by pixel photos that need enlarging, irfanview is also extremely useful for that. It's a good program. Not the simpliest but worth learning.
