Does anyone know of a image editing program that can take say a folder or a bunch of images and scale them down to 800x600 and lower the quality of them automated style?

I have a folder of digital pictures I took when I went on vacation and they are like 2937103 x 2121321 and 3 mb each. I want them all like 800x600 and 1mb max and I don't want to edit them one by one.

I'll check on Thursday if you can wait that long, my internship has it for doing it in mass. If you still want it then Ill grab it and send it over your way.

I dont know a specific program off the top of my head but after about 3 minutes on google i found this
Resize 2.7
You could give this a shot, it looks fairly simple and straightforward. Something that you could understand.
Or you could try this one from microsoft, which adds a right click>resize option, even simpler!

It's simple too, open the actions window and create a new action. Then hit record and alter one of the photos to how you need it, resize it, lower the DPI and such and hit stop. Then got to file>automate>batch and choose the file fold, destination and your recorded action. It's nice as you can even create a naming system to rename all the files, lastweekparty001.jpg, ""002.jpg, etc.

ya i just googled batch photoshop and came up with a how to. I just didn't know it existed otherwise I would have googled it myself. I never touch graphics programs as I'm not artistically inclined. I appreciate the help but your still a fag.

Heh, i didn't know that you could do batch jobs in Photoshop. I should have looked that up first, thanks Ezekiel

Thanks a bunch for the info. Helped me a lot at my internship, instead of having to get the OS updated to work with the resizing program I used that. Yay for not having to spam resizing, changing resolution and then switching it to RGB!
