Making Photos Smaller in Size

[msvirick]

I have pictures taken with 10D in JPEG format.
Now I want to reduce in size to put them on my handheld. How do I downgrade them?
I have PS CS and ACDSEE 6
Can I do them in a batch?

The quickest way I can think of is to go into Photoshop and select File | Automate | Create Web Gallery (sorry, I'm at work and don't have Photoshop loade in this PC so I'm not very sure of the wordings but you should be able to find it easily).

Once you're in the Web Photo Gallery window, go to the Folders panel and select your source and destination folders.

Then go into the Options panel and change the Options to "Large Images" from the dropdown menu. Specify the image size you want to resize to and then click OK.

This plug-in will creat a bunch of other stuff like the web pages and thumbnails but the only ones you're interested in are the resized images in the Images folder in the destination folder you specified above.
