Hi,

I have a client with about 500 pictures that are like 7 Megapixels.

I need him to resize them so to upload on my site. For that end, they would have to be 500 kb max.

I need some kind of free image utility that can resize pictures from say 3000x2300 pixels to 800x600.

This should be easy to use and free. So someone who is not very techsavvy can do it. So far the ones I found had to be purchased. Any nice sharewares aorund for this?

Thanks
HH

Thought about PHP and GD? Although that defeats the purpose of smaller upload sizes.
 
You can do this really easily with ImageMagick (open source image tool). Just create a shell script to process each image with the convert command with the -resize flag.
 
This is all very nice, but I need to be able to walk this guy thru the steps over the phone.

And he's not the brightest chap. Especially with computers.

Isn't there some tool like acdsee where he can just select all and then do resize? Some simple visual window software.

I told him how to set his digicam for the future, but he has this backlog of photos to convert. So this is like a one time deal to help him out.

Thanks

hmm...there are even some image re-sizing on the web, where they dont need any software ....
Also, if you do the PHP way, it will just auto do it, when the picture is uploaded.

Colfusion also have imageresize , I use that, its great and works perfect everytime.

ACDSee can do that, select the images, right click, batch tools, batch resize images.
 
Don't know about a batch mode, but for one at a time resize each picture each picture the same settings out of 20 different ways to resize easy thumbnails is good, and free, but runs under Windows only so I don't use it anymore. From Fookes - the NoteTab folks.

Download it from Fookes Software
 
hmmm make him try this:

right click on the folder, choose add to zip, put a name. then open your browser and enter this url: YouSendIt - Send large files - transfer delivery - FTP Replacement, press go. fill in the upper left form(in the select a file field, click on browse and try to find the zip file) -- oh put my email on the recipient.. click on the sendit button on the lower right portion of the form.. -- and we're done..

now you try this:
get the fricking file, unzip and do what this guy suggested:

make a shell/php/any script to loop over the contents in the directory.. now, right click on the processed images folder, add to zip, then go here: YouSendIt - Send large files - transfer delivery - FTP Replacement, updload the fricking zip file -- (make sure you put _his_ email address in the recipient)..

and you're both done..
