Hi All,

I'm looking for a program (preferably free - what a surprise) that will do batch changes.

What I want to do is reduce the size of approx. 100-200 pictures at a time so I can post them on the web.

I used to use Microsoft's picture manager which worked a treat. I have been thinking about getting Photoshop (Elements I think - the cheaper less complicated version) but I don't think I need that much editing power. And if I did I do have Gimp 2.6 for that.

Any suggestions?

lemkesoft's Graphic Converter does that, I think:

Shareware, but that only removes the delayed splash screen, and adds support (still worth paying, though)

The standard picture displayer in OSX will do it.

Simply open all the pictures you want to change in the program, they'll be listed on the right. Then click one of them on the right so it highlghts, then press select-all again, then select change size, bash the ok button, and it'll resize everything. Then close the app and save changes.

(Oh, and make sure you have a backup before you do this).

Preview will do it, as mentioned above, and if you look on macupdate.com or versiontracker.com. you'll find contextual menu plug-ins (right click) to do the same thing.
