First let me say how much I HATE it being assumed that since I can put my own machine together I MUST know everything about anything that comes even close to a computer. :mad:

Anywho, my folks got a digital picture frame for Christmas. They want to use the 16MB card that came with their camera to hold the pics. Thats all fine and such but the photos they have from their camera from the last 2 years are all in an uncompressed/unedited form. They were just drag and dropped from the camera to the photo folder.

What I would LIKE to do is find a simple (and free) program that would allow them to choose a few pics and have them compressed/edited down to an emailable size. I mean I can edited them down 1 at a time via Paint using the stretch/skew function, but that will take FOREVER to get a couple dozen of them done.

Can someone help me out here??

Thx

Not sure if it has any batch functionality, though.

use the xp powertool called image resizer
http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c/a/fca6767b-9ed9-45a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe
that's the download link.
all you do is right click and click resize, it's extremely fast and lightweight.

If you are still looking VSO makes a great free one I've used for awhile now. Will do batches.
