resizing groups of photos all in one shot

Photo Tip
Do you ever have a ton of photos that you need to resize so you can upload them and not take up all your bandwidth? Most digital cameras that are available now have the capability of taking poster size photographs if you wanted to print them that large. With the increase in Megapixel rating on the digital cameras out there now, also comes a large increase in the file size and storage space required to save or email the files. I have a tip that I use when my camera is loaded with images that I've taken at a very high resolution, but need to upload them onto a server and decrease the size. When you download the pictures from you camera to your pc, save them, then select them all, right click on 1 of the pics, then choose 'Send to,' then 'Mail Recipient.' If you're running XP, a box will come up that allows you to make all the pictures smaller, choose this or choose 'show me more options' and from there, either choose small, medium, or large (I usually choose large or medium). Once you've done this, all the pics you selected will attach themselves to the email. Then, you simply email the photos to yourself and when you get the email, you have all the same photos in smaller file size that's easier and quicker to upload to the web and certain other applications!
