Hello all, I am currently looking for a software that will take my
digital pictures, mostly large file size (around 500k each) and resize
them to a smaller size for a family web-site. I have photoshop but I
would have to do this one at a time and I would much rather be able to
re-size a folder at a time.

I currently have software (HP) that came with my digital carera. It
will resize pictures to send in an email, but I do not believe I can
resize to a new folder.

If there is a software that someone knows of that I can download, I
would appreciate it. Of course free is better.

Thanks,
-Dan

If you have Windows XP, you can download a Powertoy from Microsoft
that will let you do this with a right-click.

Irfanview will do the re-sizing in batches.

The problem with batch resizing is that most pictures should be
cropped before resizing. If you open them to crop, you might as well
resize individually. However:

IrFanView File>Batch Conversion/Rename>check Use Advanced
Options>check Resize>Set Size

IrFanView is a free download.

Also, PhotoShop has File>Automate>Batch>Set: Command>Action: Image
Size. I'm lost after that since I've never done it in PS. The means
is there, though.

I've tried a few batch resizers in the hope of finding one that will
resize to a specified size rather than its own interpretation of
quality. Some time ago I wanted to resize all my pics from full size -
about 1 to 2mb to around 150k, keeping the smaller versions on my pc
for quick and easy viewing and the full size on cd. The problem I had
with all these resizers was that no matter what setting I used, the
end results would vary wildly in size and quality from 25k up to
around 900k. Yet I know that all the pictures are acceptable for
on-screen viewing at around 150k, more or less. I did come across one
prog that lets you specify finished size but I've lost the name. The
need isn't so great these days with bigger hard drives and faster PCs,
but I'd still like to find one for quick batch resizing to specific
sizes for emailing.

If you have not tried IrFanView, you should try it out. It is free
and let's you specify the size in many different ways. Better yet,
it's free!
