There are many ways within several programs to "shrink" your images for upload. If you find yourself going back in to your main program, such as PS,
PSP, and tweaking the image size to whatever is required for various websites, it can gobble up your extra time.
So, if you need a way to batch procees several files, or need to resize a single image, you may want to try this program. I've been using it with excellent results.
PIXresizer is a photo resizing program to easily create web and e-mail friendly versions of your images with reduced file sizes.
