From Camera - to - Storage

[tokyoconan]

Hello - I was just wondering if anyone could help me through the following process:

1.) Taking images off of camera
2.) Batch compress
3.) Store images on HDD


Is there an ideal software for this action? I want to maintain a good res. for all pictures and shoot on s FINE - while storing them on HD.


All responses appreciated :)

It seems to me that you're trying to achieve conflicting ends -- compression while maintaining "good res". I guess it depends upon your view of what "good res" is. The more compression you use, the more quality you give away. Only you can decide your limits. I use a large, but compact external HDD so I can save raw and/or dng versions, and make jpgs (much smaller, but with compression losses) as needed (usually). 500GB of external HDD makes this a viable plan.
