These days, cameras are taking bigger and bigger photos. It isn't uncommon to see 7- or 10-megapixel cameras.
On one hand, this is great. You can get large, detailed prints from your camera. On the other hand, this makes sharing photos electronically more difficult. That's because the cameras produce bulky files.
So, resize photos before you e-mail them or upload them to a photo-sharing site. This can take a lot of time if you're using a program like Photoshop.
Give Photosizer a try. This quick program lets you resize batches of photos. It only takes a few seconds. And you can even specify the JPEG compression of the final photos. This is a must-have program for photo fanatics.
