how to 'batch' resize large numbers of images?

Solnyshko · 6 Jun 2006 at 14:48

I'm thinking of uploading a series of stag do pictures for public perusal at FlickR, question is - how can I compress 200mb worth of images to 20mb to meet the bandwidth limits of my free FlickR account?

Rather than laboriously resize individually every image using Image Ready is there a way to batch process say a 100 odd images in a few steps? perhaps there is a good utility I'm unaware of.

any help much appreciated

Thanks

ooh ta. would this be simpler than recording a macro in IR and batch processing from there? I hope so as I'm a bit stumped on how to go about this...

also apologies - I have something of double thread going in another forum

I would recomend ImageWalker for anything you plan to do with batches of images (including making them into a web page).

worked a treat - what a powerful and user friendly little utility - really like its memory management over explorer's - worth checking out by all as has many applications, and much less cumbersome than some commercial packages
