15. sit back and watch and enjoy as Photoshop does all the work for you and saves them in a nice, new, appropriately named folder.

If anyone needs the mojo for how to do this in older versions of Photoshop, I can get that for you too. I will just have to dig for where I have it written down.

Cheers!

Thanks for the info. For those that do not have photoshop Image Resizer for Windows is a great program that is available from a right click in Windows explorer (once installed). It will resize single or multiple images and make a smaller copy or replace the original. Its a free program. Ive used it for a year on Win 7. The only thing I see is its slow to load.

To use it select one or more pictures, right click and select resize (This is where it takes about 20 secs to load). From there make your menu selections and it resizes.

I agree Photoshop is a great program but for just quick resize this is a good way to go.
