Great Work I forgot about using Gimp, thanks

You can always use Paint as well (Start -> All programs -> Accessories -> Paint).
 
4-step plan:
1. Open paint.
2. Open Image.
3. Click resize.
4. Save.
 

 

Sweet.  Awesome program!

I've got you all beaten.

Step one, open program.
 
Step two, select resolution to resize to. (You can pick your size, or type your own in.)

Step three, drag all files to be resized.

 
Done.

Title reads, "How to "Scale pictures in Gimp"
 
Im sure other forums members can search for shrink/resize apps with google......
 
Gimp has a great DPI, more than one file format, color correct(without loss),  and far better control and is free.

Oh I agree, I just saw other people posting their methods so I figured I'd do mine. I use GIMP a lot actually, not as much as CS5 though.

All good!

I always make sure the chain is linked first, then type in my # on the 1st box and hit enter, which makes the second # auto adjust.  I've found that if you do the link afterwards, sometimes Gimp has a brainfart, lol.  This just slightly simplifies that part a little more.  I also use kb shortcuts as much as possible in GIMP, which definitely helps a lot for flow time savings.  And I rarely ever use Paint to re-size anything, because GIMP is superior for quality.  Paint has too much tendency to downgrade the quality.

If you have photoshop it is really easy and you can do tons of images at once. I realize some know this already.
 
1) Open photoshop
2)Under file goto scripts/image proccesor
3)Select folder and where to put resized photos and set the size all done. There will
   be a nice thumnail folder next to your originals

Good tutorial for gimp.  I just use windows paint or upload them to some image site so they can do the resizing for you. They dont have to be perfect.
