A couple of days ago, I received 67 emails with photos from a digital camera. Each photo was about 2MB. I can only begin to imagine the pain the person experienced sending these through. You can only begin to imagine my pain as I proceeded to download via POP all my email over the past 3 years and consequently blew my ISP bandwidth quota!

All because of some un-resized photos?!

The problem seems rampant and the solutions varied – ranging from using Adobe Photoshop (yes it has a batch mode), Irfan View (Another Batch tool) to even using MSPaint for Resizing.

So I wrote something quick and dirty – Photo Resizer (I know. Imaginative name) – small file (200Kb , always got to think of Africa) , place in the directory with the photos and run. Boom! Resized photos will be placed in the ‘PR-Resized’ directory.
