[Running 10.4.9 on TiBook]

I have a folder with 120 jPegs that came from a digital camera that had its' resolution set too high.
Each jPeg is about 700-800K in size.

How can I select the whole folder of 120 jPegs and shrink each jPeg within it to a resoluiton that is appropriate for computer screen use, emails etc.? These are not pictures that I would expect to ever print but I would like them to look good on computer screen and iPhoto slideshow.

Thanks in advance-
Jeff

Jeffrey,
Since you plan on viewing them in iPhoto in the future, why don't you just batch import them into iPhoto and then do a batch export? When you do the batch export, you can size them down to what you want.

John,
I'll try that.

We had a similar question come up last night during the Q&A session of the general meeting.

You should also look into Graphic Converter. It has a batch convert feature that is very powerful. You can do things like rename files, change their color depth, crop them to a specific size/aspect ratio, resize them by a percentage, and much more, all at the same time.

There are also some shareware utilities (I haven't tried these out, just heard about them)...
