Photo editing question
Is there a way to resize several pictures at once? The cameral I have will only godown to about 1/2 MB and I need them all down to about 200kb for posting.
Doing them one by one is a PIA and I was hoping to be able to highlight a bunch, right click and resize. No lusk with ADOBE or windows explorer as far as I can tell. Do any of you folks have any ideas? I'm using a Nikon D-80 and editing on a HP TX 1219 tablet lap top. Thanks for any ideas.

That's the flipside of high mega pixel cameras, you have to resize images to make them suitable for the internet.
I work with Adobe deluxe, and ancient but reliable software and silkypix which is the designated software to develop raw format from Panasonic Lumix cameras. I haven't noticed any feature that would let me resize multiple pics at once. That's how photo editing is. Tedious and timely.

If you post them using photobucket.com, it will automatically re-size them to whatever you select. They also have a bulk uploader. You can select all the photo's you want to upload, click the button and then go off and do something else for a while as the computer does the work.

Are the photos RAW? If so you may need the Nikon software.

If they aren't in a proprietary format (see Howitzer's comment about RAW files), then you might have a look at Irfanview.
It's not hard to set it up to perform a batch conversion which can include a number of steps, e.g., resize, change JPEG compression, rename files. Once that were set up to your satisfaction, then you'd be able, when browsing a directory using Irfanview, to select a number of files, right-click, then select "Start batch dialog with selected files...". Yes, that launches a dialog, but it will start off (IIRC) with the settings last used - so you wouldn't necessarily be resetting everything every time you wished to do a batch job. |

^^^^Yes, I should have thought of that. IIRC Irfanview has a plug-in for D80 RAW files.

I use PhotoShop and set up actions to do batch conversions.

Go to Window (on top of tool bar) and then select actions. Once there go to the help feature. It took me an hour...my head was bleeding by the time I finished.

First put all the images you want to convert in a folder, and create an empty folder where you want the converted images to dump into.
Then I set up actions to do it. Go to the actions window and select "new action" from its menu. Then click "record". After you hit record, you want to go through the menus to select the images folder and open the first image. Then do whatever other edits you want including edit image size. Then save and close. Then go back and click "stop recording". This sets the action. Now you have to apply it. Go to File > Automate > Batch... Then you can apply your saved actions and select your source (where the images are that you want converted) and destination folder (final edited images). Hit OK and wait until they are all done. This will only work with groups of the same filetype. (only jpegs or only tiff images) If you have multiple filetypes in the source folder, the batch function will time out.
