How can I resize lots of pictures quickly?



Hey everyone, well with our family digital camera (Canon PowerShot A630) it takes very large pictures and I'm trying to upload all our pictures to the Kodak EasyShare Gallery. But they are taking forever and lots are failing because the picture size is so huge. So I want to resize all of them to be smaller but the only way I know how is to do it one by one in like a photo viewer (like Microsoft Picture Manager). Also is there a way you can make the pictures not turn out so big on the camera? Like a feature in the menu? Thanks.

You could take smaller photos by changing a setting in your menu, but I don't recommend it. Hard drive space is so cheap nowadays!
To resize, get yourself a copy of ACDSee. It has a batch processor which can resize a whole group to any size you like.
Yikes! Don't shoot smaller photos. You want the best quality images you can get ... that is why you spent more money for a higher mp count sensor.

After you move them over to your computer, make a CD of all of them BEFORE you do any editing.

To re-size hundreds or even thousands of images at a time, Photoshop CS I, CS II and CS III all include Bridge. If you already have a copy of PS, you can purchase an upgrade version of CS II for under $200. Bridge is a very powerful program.

It used to take me tens of hours to run actions in PS that added information to my XMP file. Now I can do a whole shoot in about ten minutes.

I also agree never shoot smaller images unless you have to you may regret it later. You need something now to solve your problem, take a look at the link below for a program you can download and purchase from the net. There are 3 different ones, they are easy to use but you will have to decide how much you want to spend, so look at the comparison chart.
