[Hidden-tech] auto conversion of photo files to smaller size

[Catamount]

Stacy,
Since you're already working with Photoshop, it may be worth pointing 
out that it is scriptable, via the "Actions" pallette.
Several years back I was reducing (to 800x600) between 20 and 1000 
images/month using an Action Droplet.

One would create a recorded action 'recipe' in the actions pallette, 
then select it and save it as a Droplet. This creates an icon you can 
place on the desktop or wherever you choose.
Then drop any number of images on the action script icon, sit back and 
watch it happen by automation.
Just remember that it will do precisely what you tell it to, so caution 
is advised.
